Featured review from SA
view more less of this reviewWe really had a great time but you need more than 2 hours to really read the material. I wasn't sure what was going on we were looking at the displays and a worker came by and told us we only had 40 minutes left. The museum is open until 9 and it was 7:20 so we felt rushed. But the museum is a lot of fun and I really learned a lot. We are planning to return when we have more time to really enjoy the displays.
star this review starred report as inappropriateone of my daughter's has been talking about studying in the CSI field when she goes to college based on what she has seen on the TV show. My husband & I decided to take her to the musuem to the CSI Experience so she could get a better idea on what to expect in this field. We had a wonderful time and spent about 4 1/2 hrs in the museum. Also, my daughter has a more realistic idea on what to expect if she would like to pursue a career in forensic science. More Chemistry & Math... two of her least fav subjects!
star this review starred report as inappropriateI took 3 kids aged 7 to 14. It was interesting. I wouldn't take a child less than 7 because some of the stuff is gruesome (including the mideaval display at the beginning). Lots of interesting '30s-'40s gangster era items and history. The current day CSI type stuff is on the second floor (you start on the 3rd floor). America's Most Wanted stuff is on the 1st floor (actually basement).
star this review starred report as inappropriateI really enjoyed this museum. Took my time to read and enjoy the museum, so it took me up to 4 hours to do so - well worth it. I also did the CSI Adventure (only $5) which is a little booklet with puzzles to figure out throughout the museum. I would definitely visit this museum again.
