Must See for Weather Geeks
This museum is a work-in-progress, so expect to see some things unfinished or being created. All admission fees are going toward enhancing and improving the museum. It is money well spent. We received a guided tour by an incredibly knowledgeable NWS employee who made me realize I should have paid attention during Earth & Space Science class a great deal more. Only planned on staying for an hour but ended up staying for three.

Spring break visit
First visit with kids from 18 months to 13 yrs old. Gentleman at front desk was very pleasant and patient. Gave us a tour and really grasped the kids attention. He took his time and was very well informed of the many objects. They have a small kids area to play in which all the kids enjoyed. Very small and only need 2 hours max. Had the stroller and walked through okay with plenty of space. No changing table in the restroom but was able to use the seating area in one of the showers to lay the baby on. Definitely enjoyed our visit but was a lot smaller and had expected to at least see a walk in tornado wind simulator.
