Sternberg Museum of Natural History - Museum in Hays - 3000 Sternberg Dr, USA

We had such a great experience overall. The museum is super clean and easy to navigate. They have a variety of things on display from mineral and fossils to live animals and interactive activities. We throughly enjoyed the dinosaurs on display now and my daughter had a great time in the discovery center. I work with reptiles professionally, venomous snakes specifically, and was thrilled to see an exhibit a about rattlesnakes. I enjoyed the spread of North American species on display. Lots of nice information was available on the boards to read. The enclosures of the rattlesnakes (and other herps throughout the museum) are smaller for some species than I'd prefer but I understand that space is limited and all of the enclosures were clean with various textures, hiding, climbing, and visually appealing decor so it appears that they want to do as well for the animals as they can. A couple of rattlesnakes and the boa were quite overweight though so I'd love to see them again a little bit slimmed down. Regardless, I would absolutely visit again.

Stopped here while going through town, it was a great museum, the kids loved it. Lots of cool things to look at. It was free to enter using the sunflower summer app

We enjoyed our visit to the museum. It was a Sunday afternoon, there were families with children enjoying the educational experience. It's big and there are many different features, so there will be sections of more or less interest to everyone. I personally found a couple sections a little boring, and then other sections very interesting. Amazing fossils. The only part I didn't like at all was the two big beautiful tortoises living in a dark walled corner area with concrete floors and nothing natural in their surroundings at all. It just seemed so cold and cruel. Besides that, I recommend it as a nice way to spend a few hours.

A must see if you're passing by Hays KS on I70. Excellent natural history exhibits with great fossils and many live animals. Exhibit with 20+ live rattlesnake varieties was great. Kids would love it!

Had a wonderful time with my young son. He especially enjoyed the fish within a fish and the robotic T Rex.

It was a lot of full the staff were very nice and helpful! The exhibits were cool all the live animals were a surprise and the stuff there for little ones to do was great! This was worth the drive from Wichita. You can easily spend two hours here if you got kiddos and they love dinosaurs and all things animals and exploring☺️

Such a great museum! My mind was boggled by all the ancient things found in Kansas. I learned a lot. Staff was nice was well. The gift shop prices were so reasonable too!

An impressive museum with plenty of exhibits to keep you entertained for hours. The dinosaur exhibit was fun and interactive. Kids loved the fossil pit and digging for fossils. The discovery center was lots of fun. My son loved the rattle snake exhibit
