Where else are you going to see dinosaurs, mummys, and a handwritten letter by Elizabeth I? I really enjoyed walking around, exploring, and I know my kiddo did as well. It's in an old building downtown and has loads of charm everywhere you look. 4/5 stars because I thought the kids play area was a bit of a letdown - it felt a bit dirty and neglected. There also isn't a cafe, which I think would be a fun addition if they ever plan on expanding or remodeling. The exhibits were wonderful though, and I thought for the price it was a great deal. Overall I'd for sure go back and if you're the kind of person that enjoys something off the beaten path, or has a love for old stories and a solid diorama, this is the place for you.

The Dale Chihuly glass exhibit was amazing…read more In the main art exhibit (free to visit - no charge), I saw exactly 1 painting that took my breath away. The rest were pretty bleh. I am from the East Coast, by the Smithsonian and all DC museums. I have been spoiled by art my whole life. I have also taken art and art history courses. My partner said the good art is at the bigger museums. He is not wrong! So what's left over is what's here at this smaller museum in the middle of the country. That's sad. People in this area deserve to see beautiful art too. The visiting exhibit is awful right now. I don't want to say what it is. But it's just awful and we paid $6 per person to see it. I looked at everything and had to get out of there. Nothing enjoyable. The museum was packed. I think we went on Valentine's Day or thereabouts. We got food. It took quite a while to get the food. Else enjoyed the live jazz! Or at least I did! Nothing like live jazz. I am an artist and I would love to have my art in this museum - then I know beautiful art would be hanging up that people would enjoy looking at. Driving home, my partner said he wouldn't pay $6 to see that visiting art exhibit again, but he would pay $100 to see my art - which is hanging in his own living room! I feel very sad about my review. But it's my truth. Art is subjective , I suppose. I hope future exhibits knock it out of the park. Hopefully this was just a low point for the museum.

It has an amazing history about it. The art throughout it is very impressive! Lester Raymer did almost every medium of art. My favorite "thing" about the museum though was the artist working in the back room, Shin-hee Chin. Shin is an amazing artist! She uses large thread on things like blankets, to create murals. It takes a lot of time and patience! She was very nice and spent a lot of time talking with us. Check out her website!

Yes, the embalmed body of the guy who built the Garden of Eden is on display in a glass-topped coffin. The entire place is bizarre and is built out of concrete. And the construction did not begin till the artist - an eccentric civil war vet with WILD political and religious ideas - was well into his 60s. The guided tour is nice and gives a good history about the place and the artist. Recommend visiting if you are in the Lucas/Wilson area. Weird. Delightfully weird.

We are so happy we took the time to go off the beaten path to see this place! Unfortunately, it had closed an hour or so prior by the time we arrived, so we could only read the signs outside and observe the exterior art. We really would have loved to see the inside. This is definitely a hidden gem and something out of the norm!

The gift shop is so little and that is fine but it is difficult to herd the guests and the tour guide we had was really knowledgable. The house is nice and I think the normal tour is the one people should opt for because it covers what you want anyway. The best part, they accommodated us last minute and I really appreciate that. I wish that the gift store had enamel pins :)

I must applaud the flexibility of the staff. I booked an 11:30 tour as the 1pm only had 1 spot left. I called the morning and they allowed us to change and take the 1pm tour instead which allowed us to make everyone happy and take care of our responsibilities. Huge house with a lot of history - in terms of Wright homes, I would put this in the upper half of the ones we have toured. Lots of family history pieces and extra information included - though the other people taking the tour were so concerned with showing how intelligent they were in a falsified humble manner - it took away from the experience. Tour guide with the glasses and white hair was great. Informative and good natured all around. Another one off the list.

When I visited, there was a modern photography exhibit, a small exhibit displaying 1800s Kansas art, a small exhibit showing some pottery (I didn't really go in here so I can't tell you much about it) and a really cool exhibit of 1930s art and posters from the 1930s labor period. All of it was cool, but considering the space issues, I wish the museum would focus on one or two exhibits that were a little larger and more in depth.

It's much cooler down 650 feet into the earth. So it was a nice retreat from the hot day up above. I enjoyed the tram ride through the mine to see where miners once worked. I was happy to get a small souvenir of rock salt to take home with me. Don't lick it though. It's not table salt. They had a small room with real superhero costumes worn in Hollywood movies. Batman, Superman, and Agent Smith from The Matrix were a few. It's an educational place and fun to explore. It's worth visiting to go so deep into the earth into a real salt mining cave.

When we walked in, we immediately were drawn to the beautiful chandelier of many colors. It appeared wise for Eric R. and I to become annual members, as that would be a better deal if we planned to visit twice in one year. It also came with two tickets to Mesmereyez, the immersive experience which currently is featuring Renoir. We checked our coats at the front and went first to Mesmereyez, which was really cool. Then we went to Cafe Azul, the third floor cafe operated by Radina's. After enjoying snacks and beverages, we toured the third floor, which has both a gallery right now of impressionist art and a learning lab filled with toy cars and campers. The impressionist art collection was incredibly impressive. I honestly did not expect to see Picasso, Max, Picot, Chagall, Renoir, and works by other famous artists. It was an impressive collection, and one of the Picot's was my favorite piece. Then we went to the second floor which had one small and one large gallery featuring digital art. That was really fascinating too. From the balcony we could see a giant eye on the floor of the entrance and a closer view of the chandelier. We stopped by the shop on the way out and looked around. This is a very nice place to visit, and I will definitely return. Access to Cafe Azul requires a museum ticket or membership. Annual membership includes 10% off at the cafe and store, two tickets to Mesmereyez, and then 25% off future Mesmereyez tickets. I highly recommend a visit here if you have time!

Hotel staff - 10 stars! Very helpful and friendly…read more Cleanliness of room- 2 stars, I'm sorry to say it actually felt gross here. Lots of cracked bathroom tiles, stains on the carpet and walls. The ac unit in our room was spewing black dust, fuzz and ash all over the bed every day. It was bad and really needs to be cleaned!! That's kind of the issue with this place, everything needs a deep cleaning. Pool and spa- 8 stars. It was nice and we enjoyed the hot tub! Breakfast was exactly what you would expect for a hotel. The breakfast was nice and the area was clean. Noise level here was terrible and we found it difficult to sleep. I think it's due to the cheep/thin windows. We were kept awake all night by freeway noise. This place is RIGHT NEXT to a major freeway, so it's jake breaks all night long. And then you'll wake up to voices in the hall outside your room because there are gaps in the door frame letting in all the noise from the hallway. The noise level here is the main reason for the 2 star rating.

Cleanliness: 2 From the looks, the bedroom looks very…read moretrendy, neat, and contemporary. BUT, there's a funky smell as you enter the door. My must for every hotel we stay - clean smell! And this one didn't meet that standard. Beds: 0 I booked a bedroom with 2 queen beds. The beds are NOT queens. My kids sleep in queens beds at home and we know what queen size is. These are full/double beds! It was a VERY restless night!!! Breakfast: 2 Pancakes are good BUT the eggs tastes like cardboard. Hospitality of morning front desk lady: 0 Seriously, I very rarely see racists BUT this one is definitely one. She said good morning to about every other person except me (even though I greeted her first and she just flat stared at me like I'm some buffoon). I'm the only brown woman in the sea of white people. And don't get me wrong, I'm married to a white guy for 12 years and counting! I'm very rarely treated this way. Hospitality of the cleaning lady: 5 Very sweet, respectful, and someone that brings smiles to your face first thing in the morning! Isn't it amazing that as people rise up in ranks, the more of an idiot they become?! In the hospitality business, I think the cleaning lady should be on the front desk and this smug-faced front desk lady should be scrubbing the floors.
