I enjoy bringing my kids to this museum. It’s probably a little better for the 8+ crowd, but even my 3&5 year olds are entertained and educated for an hour.The planetarium leaves a lot to be desired. It’s old and the sound quality is poor, but still fun to try once.

Nestled on the University of Nebraska - Lincoln campus, just off of 14th & Vine, this museum is 4 floors of exhibits. Give yourself the whole afternoon to explore and learn about natural history, including geology, dinosaurs, undersea life, and botany. The staff are an absolute delight, and the gift shop has an amazing selection of relevant mementos of your visit!

This is such a beautiful museum. One of the floors was closed for renovation when we visited, which was a bummer because it had the discovery room and kids LOVE the discovery room, but it was still a great experience.I like how the second floor is your typical taxidermy and articulated bones exhibits. They are very well done and not dusty like less well maintained exhibits I've seen at other museums. The upper floors have other exhibits, including a prairie exhibit on the top floor that has a lot of modern sculptures to help illustrate things. It makes it easier for everyone to learn during their visit.The mineral exhibit really excited my oldest kid. They loved looking at all the different minerals on exhibit and loved how some glowed under a black light. They also have an amazing large amethyst on display that was absolutely stunning.Only complaint is that free parking is super limited and paid parking is limited to 2 hours. Also, lord help you if you try to visit in game day.

The museum itself is very nice..... But the entire first floor was closed due to school children only being allowed. I was disappointed that we couldn't see those exhibits.... What I did see was nice.... It's kept very nice and clean..... Parking was difficult. Also I couldn't get a map of the museum to know where the different exhibits were. They were out of them.....

Wonderful natural history museum that provides an educational and entertaining experience for all ages. Plan plenty of time to visit, we only had 2 hours and it wasn't near enough time to see even a fraction of the museum. Very affordable prices. Real scientists on site to talk to and ask questions. Hands on activities and play for kids. Wide variety of exhibits. Great in depth education about the science and history of Nebraska and more dating back to prehistoric times.

It has been over thirty years since I visited Morrill Hall. It was free back then. It requires more than a couple hours and it is worth the time and admission.I highly recommend Morrill Hall to everyone.

Took my two kids age 10 & 4 here. They both loved it. We spent almost 2 hours. Definitely could've been longer if we took our time looking at everything

Well worth it! Tons of information and things to learn. Interesting exhibits that will challenge you to think big and gain an appreciation for our world. If you’re a Nebraskan or just a proud Midwesterner, this place is for you! Definitely check out the top floor as it was recently renovated. Highly recommend! Come with the family, with your friends, or by yourself. They have something for everyone! Also it’s free for UNL students!

It had been so long since I had visited, so it was a great re-visit. It was the perfect place for an anniversary date for my SO who loves natural history museums as much as me. Gotta visit for often!

We came today as a school group and we had such a great time! We absolutely loved the new 4th floor from Nebraska area. The kids all thought it was really cool.
