Superbly envisioned and presented museum - The way the exhibits are presented is an absolute stand-out. Top of my list is the underfloor-lit periodic table, straight out of Saturday Night Fever or Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. Stand on the elements and they light up! The Chemistry section was very imaginative. Of course the dinosaurs are what attract most but a shout out to the top floor explanations of the oil and gas industry, and the egyptian section, even if replicas, are still worth a good look. The downside? The catering is pretty poor and why did they play/show Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in the Planetarium (great idea) only once a day at 5pm? As for parking, park free in Hermann Park and walk down the water features or via the Japanese Garden.
