Why It’s Great for Families:
• Interactive Museum: This isn't just a "look but don't touch" kind of place. The discovery center is packed with hands-on exhibits that explain the impact and the science of meteors in a way that kids actually enjoy.

They have a massive selection of unique minerals, meteorites, and fun souvenirs that aren't just your standard tourist trinkets.
