A very unfriendly place for families. The kids really wanted to see. And we did, last April. Called them as to their hours-—10 AM to 6 PM. Arrived 4:25 PM—CLOSED!

Called again and left a message: Could we come at 10 AM next morning? Sent an email. NO reply. Arrived 10 AM next day. CLOSED!

The walkway signs/exhibits suggest they have an evolutionist perspective, but are trying to tread carefully.

Can’t imagine why they are trying to make a profit and so obnoxious to travelers.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Even though you were told the somewhat wrong hours, they should have still been open. We've been several times, and we always take first time visiting family or friends there, with never such a problem.
