Museum of York County

This is a great place visit. The exhibits are very realistic and interesting. There's plenty of activities for children, a super cool planetarium, and a gift shop with plenty of offerings. They also host several special exhibits. I am amazed at how much this place has improved over the years. Plus, they're free on Sunday!

I don't know who enjoys this museum more- the kids or me! The first time we went there was a great exhibit on nocturnal animals ;however, the second time that was closed.nnI love the taxidermied animals and a great learning experience for kids for different terrains and the animals and plants that grown within them. There are tables to investigate more and many books and information!nnI have yet to be in the planetarium as they are limited in show times.nnMy kids really enjoy the kids room too- kitchen area, puppets, blocks galore. A safe and fun space for kids of all ages (probably best for those under 6).nnMost employees very nice - one lady was getting on kids in kids area to clean up behind themselves in a strict manner.nnCute gift shop for local gifts.nnI would love to see an upgrade to the outside of the building to be more welcoming and maybe something's done outside -- garden, bird houses, etc. For it to represent all of York County a few upgrades would be great!!

This is definitely a great place for kids to know a lot about animal kingdom. The artifacts are so lively and resemble the actual species. The planetarium is a great place to be introduced to kids as young as 3. The experience will stay with kids for long. It also has a section for night species and is inarguably one of the best. The museum is quite and well maintained. Limited parking area available. The ticket for non member adult costs $8 and is free for kids aged 3 and below. Irrespective of age everybody will like the experience at this museum.

This is a cool Museum. This is a bit on the small side but it was cool. I did like their gift shop as well.

Really enjoyed the nature trail, little bridges, and trickling waters at the stream behind the museum building.
