If you want to come to this museum you need to rsvp online. The general admission is about 23 bucks. Once you are there you will need to show the staff your covid vaccines and your ID before you can enter. The museum is really big. I think there are 4 floors. There are so many thing to do.

It's a really great old building, the entry was a bit tricky due to covid, but not too bad right at opening. They require a reservation number, so make sure you get one and write it down. We wrote it on our viator paperwork, and we're lucky we did. Lady at the entry almost turned us to the "no reservation" corral because she didn't really look, but the next person we walked to corrected that. Nice museum with lots of great items, lots of thorough info. Not the easiest place to navigate, and the space for displays can seem limited in areas like the dinosaur wings. Meteors for sale in the gift shop for 30 dollars.

This place is HUGE and confusing so make sure you use the map. I'm sure we missed a lot and we were there for over 5 hours. It's confusing how you get separate tickets for thins like the Seals. The planetarium part was really cool, probably my favorite part of the museum. The animal parts were cool too. The "food court" could use a revamp. We had old tater tots with cheese. Not many choices. If you plan on reading and actually looking at everything plan on a whole day.
