For free entrance and governmental place, this is quite informative with some spectacular items and presentations about mineral resources.

If you've got 30 minutes or an hour to spend and are in the neighbourhood it's a good option. My daughter enjoyed it especially the minerals and also that you could touch some of the exhibits. Well I hope you could!! It ran alongside her learning at school. Small, quiet and only a few exhibits but some nice specimens.

Nice little museum teaching you about Rocks and Minerals! Quite entertaining, also for Dinosaur loving Kids. Plan 30-45 minutes for a visit.

Looks like a hurricane hit this place. A bunch of broken display cases scattered outside. Doesn't follow posted opening hours but lazy group of guards sitting around doing nothing insisted there's an actual museum inside and I should come back when they're feeling less lazy and would open it for me. What a joke.
