Could spend all day here, so entertaining. It was set up well, had so many fossils, and taught us so much. Definitely worth the visit.

My grandson, age 6, and I had spent a few days camping in Colorado and were now in the long drive from Denver to Topeka, Ks. Hays is about four hours from Topeka and I thought it would be good to break up the drive...More

Took my nephew and kids during an overnight stop in Hays. Just hoped to get some walking in before we headed to the mountains. The kids had a great time and were very interested in most of it.
