What a great museum! In a world full of evolution-based science (every museum of natural history and in public school curricula) this is one of those rare places you can see science & history presented from a biblical standpoint. Best of all, this small but well done museum is for all ages!! The ladies that gave us the guided tour were wonderful and very good with our kids. All kinds of folks come in, some looking for answers, some looking for an argument. Personally, we’re a homeschool family visiting as a field trip to complement our science program (Answers in Genesis) and we will definitely return for another visit!! Content featured: a small display of live animals, a short movie about the great flood and dinosaur/dragon legends around the world, outer space and traveling to the moon, biblical and historical accounts of giants, small display of fossils, and an exhibit about Israel.

We took our grandson for the second time and we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The staff made us feel very welcome and spent time to explain the displays. The truths shared about God's creation, His love for us and the hands on experience of the displays is something we would highly recommend for all ages. Big Country folks, give the Discovery Center your support.

The staff were so friendly and open to talk about anything we had questions over. They were also really kind and attentive to our needs. The Miracle of Israel exhibit displayed the horrors and victories the Jewish people have been through. The Giant part of the museum was absolutely mind-boggling to say the least! And the animals, especially the parrot, were fun to listen to and watch. It was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to visit again!

We arrived here for a field trip with a small group & in under 5 minutes I was leaving. This IS NOT a Discovery Center. This is a religious driven “museum”. The tour guide reminded me of a cult leader with the way she was speaking to the children. No way would I have stayed & let my son listen to her.

The Israel room was very well done. Such an excellent and informative display! The recreated Ark of the Covenant and First & Second Tabernacle we’re fantastic! So was the Holocaust section.The Noah’s Ark, Titanic and section on giants was interesting.The topographical land and water interactive sand display was absolutely amazing!The live animals and gift shop were interesting. The outdated robot section felt like a garage sale and are the reason for the one star deduction.The pottery and information from the Holy land was small, but very interesting.So the newer sections of the museum are done with excellence and worth a visit! Some of the older sections feel outdated and make you want to run; so persevere and enjoy the excellent parts!
