This amazing museum of 4 million specimens of mammals, birds, fish, plants, mollusks and insects is a great place to take kids. The Bell Museum is known for its diorama displays of animals in their natural habitat and their Touch and See Museum, where kids can have a hands-on experience with fossils, reptiles, animal skins, bones and many other artifacts.

On the 1st Thursday of each month, the museum hosts Nature Tots, a program for 3 and 4 year olds from 9:00-10:30. The children learn about a variety of animals in station-based activities. Adults are $5.00 and kids are $3.00. Reservations are required.

On the 2nd Saturday of each month, from 1-3pm the museum hosts a drop-in Nature Play Day complete with nature crafts and activities for families with children ages 4 and older. The museum also hosts puppet shows and other special events. Check out the website for what is current. The touch and feel museum is always a big hit with kids!

The museum is FREE on Sundays!
