Great staff and only a small suggested donation to spend time in this beautiful museum perched atop a hill. Nice place to visit in Kenosha.

The largest collection of theropods on beautiful display. Highly recommend checking this place out and make sure you donate

My 4 year old nephew had a blast. There are a lot of kid friendly, hands on activities to keep your children occupied. My 11 year old on the other hand was bored pretty fast. The staff is nice and the dinosaurs are cool. Make sure you bring some money for the gift shop.

I loved it! The staff is nice and the dinosaurs are cool!

Great staff and only a small suggested donation to spend time in this beautiful museum perched atop a hill. Nice place to visit in Kenosha.

I loved it! Ive lived here for like 20 years and never been til today! I took my 6 year old son and he had a blast! It is free, donations are appreciated! And was educational and also something he enjoyed. I will definitely be taking him more often on days we do not have much to do. It was clean and the exhibits were nicely displayed.

Im sure itll be a five-star when this covid-19 is over the people there were awesome people to deal with I will definitely come back

Even though most of the experience was blocked off due to covid spread; (totally fine) Dawn an Yo-Fan were so pleasant which made the experience all the better. My littlest one loves dinosaurs, as does the whole family, so it was cool to see real bones!

The worker could be more helpful. Other then that it work a ok place to see. I was told it is one of the biggest dinosaur museum. So we drive 3 hrs to go see it. When we got there it was very small. The kids enjoyed seeing the dinosaur.

An impressive collection of dinosaurs. Learned a lot. If I had kids I would definitely take them here.

Nice little museum. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Seeing the dinosaurs was a lot of fun and very interesting. I especially liked seeing Suchomimus.

Great place to take kids. Though there are no handicap ramps in the front there is an accessible elevator in the back. Though relatively small, they pack a bunch of skeleton casts into what area they do have.

Great dino lover area. Has a bunch of skeletons, and a lab in the basement to watch them work on the artifacts. Not to forget the little gift shop, penny press, and its a donation museum. So its technically free. But if youre planning a trip, it doesnt hurt to contribute something to help with their costs.

Nice little museum. Its small and quiet but an employee told us this is their first week open and most of their events are canceled due to Convid-19.

Fun stop, enough but not too much for small kids. Nice to actually see dinosaur bone for once...

A great museum to walk through for free of charge.

A great place to go if your like the subject of dinosaurs. The building itself is the former ( until about 2005 ) Kenosha Public Museum, since relocated in a new structure.The main floor has many examples of theropod skeletons, from some of the largest, to hand-sized relatives of our present-day birds.In the basement ( lower-level ), one can see some of the recent discoveries, some of which are being worked on.

Great place for a family outing. Children love the archeological dig. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Small museum, so not a time consuming outing. We took our grandchildren ages 3 to 11 and they had a blast. Make sure you visit the gift store!

Got to see this place if you are in to dinosaurs. Not too big, great for kids too

Fantastic collection of meat eating dinosaurs. Vegans beware.

This is a nice place to take children interested in dinosaurs, but it is very small. There is only one room of dinosaur bones. It is very cool, but too crowded. It would be nice for them to be spread out more. I recognize the building doesnt allow for that. They have added some cool kid friendly activities in the front hallway like a pit to excavate bones and puzzles.

My son loves dinosaurs and he loved it here. Even i though it was soo...cool.

Love dinosaurs? This place is great for you and your kids. Plus its my favorite price. Free!

This place is quite unique! Not very large but they make the most of the space they have. Very interesting history with the building itself as it used to be the post office, it is a very beautiful building! Free admission with a suggested $3 donation, we happily paid as they are a smaller museum I imagine they do not have the financial backing the larger ones in town do. Great place to bring the family!

DDM was so welcoming to people of all ages. Very knowledgeable employees. Great place to take children. Highly recommend for a fun free time.

Great option for kids who doesnt like dinosaurs

We always love visiting the dinosaur museum! We were a little sad that they got rid of the excavation area in the kids activity center, but we still had fun.

Definitely worth going to if you are in the area. Our group of three adults and one toddler spent about an hour here, but you could definitely spent a couple hours looking at everything. Suggested donation was $3 which I thought was very reasonable.Its in a very cool old building (guess it used to be the old post office). But its not much of a museum. Really its just one big room with dinosaur skeletons.

Great place to go if your child is into dinosaurs, my nephew had so much fun when we came and visited would 10/10 go again

My daughter loved this place!! My parents took her a separate time as well so I am so glad there are places like this in town that are educational and fun! I look forward to going back again with her someday soon.

Very small but very cool. My kids loved it. It took about an hour to go through. Very beautiful building... it was interesting learning about it. There are blueprints for the original purpose (postoffice) downstairs by the bathroom.

This is a fun couple of hours for the kids. Mine really liked the hands on activities. I liked the old architecture of the building itself.

Is a small space with limited displays, but what it lacks in size/quantity it more than makes up with quality. Great for children.Additionally, the basement is home to the Carthage Paleontology Institute,which offers view into the work of the students.

Good for younger kids. Not too long to where they lose interest

Fantastic small museum! It is free admission and is two rooms. My son enjoyed the museum and was informative and quick. A great place to stop if you are in the area.

Small displays but my daughter loves seeing the dinosaur skeletons and digging for bones. Cant beat free.

Great place to takes your kids. Not soo big to the point where it takes up your whole day. Son and I spent about 2hrs there.

Its a fun little place and my son loved it

Fun place for the entire family. The museum is pretty small, but definitely worth a visit.

While small, this museum had a compelling collection and presentation of dinosaur skeletons. I enjoyed having so many skeletons in close proximity to one another, as it was much easier to compare them. My family managed to stay at the museum for quite a while despite it being relatively small. Its also awesome that this museum is free!

Really cool place especially to take little ones if they are into dinosaurs

Good place to visit, entrance is free!; the only thing that I didnt like is that the exhibition was very small.

Great museum for a day trip, free parking and admission. Nice exhibits and interactive zones for kids.

Small but free and fun! Has gift shop, activity area downstairs, and many fossil displays.

Awesome for my 5 year old. Perfect activity for bad weather or days with limited time. Could use a change up or maybe a revamp as has been the same for past 2-3 years but still great place. Donation based admission only, thanks carthage.

Small museum with impressive main exhibit and informative displays. Very glad we decided to stop by!

Friendly staff, very informative and helpful, plenty of interactive displays for children. Would reccomend a minimum age of 3.

Pretty good free museum, my kids liked it, we spend about 30 minutes here

Very cool little museum! Loved the display! Nice staff!

Love the hands on areas for the kids! This is a really cool place. Will be recommending this museum to everyone

A fantastic dinosaur museum. It has a huge collection of fossils on display in one large gallery that will delight any dinosaur fan and working paleontology lab downstairs where they are cleaning and preserving a triceratops. There is also childrens space with books to read and (I am not sure if its everyday or just weekends) a dig site for kids. The only real negative is the hours arent great with the museum only being open in the afternoon.

Cute little museum for kids. $3 suggestioned donation. Kids can dress up as paleontologists and discover bones. Some other exhibits and things to do.

This is a cute little museum. Its only two rooms and an activity center in the basement but you cant complain because it is free (donations are encouraged). There was even an area the kids could pretend to dig up fossils.

A nice, but very small collection of dinosaur casts, with some fun hands on exhibits too. You can see and do everything there in an hour, so dont plan on it being a full day event. The exhibits mostly focus on the evolution of dinosaurs to birds.

What a pleasant surprise... We came to Kenosha for a race and came across the museum. A very friendly man met us as we came in... We spent about 30 minutes looking around.

Great place to take young kids and see amazing dinosaurs. Right off the street car route, so just one great place to visit.

Ive been coming here since I was a little kid. I still remember watching stop-motion films projected in the basement 35 years ago. It has just enough stuff to see before your kids lose interest. The activity room has toys and colorings.

A gem in Southeastern Wisconsin! This place is wonderful! Its in a historic, beautiful building, with large beautiful steps similar to a capital building. There is an elevator enterence around back for handicapped or strollers. The Dinosaur showcase room has an enormous vaulted ceiling starring a unique collection of eye struck Dinosaurs of every size. When you walk into the building taking the front steps, to your left is a cute, little gift shop, then all the way to your right is an excellent learning Center, play area for kids. Interactive games, fossil digs, etc... Walk down stairs and you see an interactive classroom and a dino lab. Our whole family loves this place!

My family was thoroughly impressed. Especially given that Kenosha is not a huge town, this is a pretty cool collection. While it may not take you a day to tour, it is still very interesting and informative. The available kids activities are also great, my sons loved exploring around and learning about dinosaurs. All the staff were friendly as well.

We took our son and nephew here and they had a blast. Its small but it has a lot for them to do. Their displays are very interesting and definitely catch your eye. It was an extra bonus that admission was free. We will most definitely be back!

The fossil collection room is impressive, but crowded. My kids loved digging for fossils, doing puzzles, and reading picture books at the reading spot. This is a great place for a quick toddler visit.

Nice and free...

This is a very small museum, which is perfect for little ones who want to explore. They have a space in the basement with books, puzzles, and coloring. Upstairs there is a place for kids to learn how to be paleontologists on a dig and a room full of dinosaur bones on display. Entry is free, donations are accepted, and there is a small gift shop (that is to the side of the entrance and not easily noticed by toddlers). I will definitely be visiting again!

Great place for your little paleontologist.

Such a great experience, friendly well knowledged staff, amazing exhibits our kids loved it as we did too. Admission was free as well ! A must do for the area !

Very nice and educational for the kids and adults. Love the building and its history

This is a nice free little Museum. Theres not much to it but the one-room they have is packed with skeletons. Id recommend when youre done with this Museum buy a ticket for the electric trolley car that picks up just outside the museum. It runs in an oval and only takes a little over 10 minutes or so to complete the circuit its a nice little trip around town and it will drop you right back where you started

This is a great place to take your children and learn about dinosaurs. There is a dedicatedexcavation area where kids can discover and extricate fossils. The main exhibit hall contains a variety of dinosaurs in all shapes and sizes. We enjoyed taking our grandson here.

My daughter got to be a dinosaur for the day, the sweetest thing. They have a digging spot for the kids with safety goggles and brushes to find dinosaurs in the sand. Very beautiful dinosaur fossils right here in Kenosha, larger than life! My daughter had an excellent time in the classroom and we were very surprised at how much stuff they fit in that tiny gift shop. There has been a lot of development since first opened and I am very impressed.

Was in the area and saw that it was open. Its small but for a free museum I cant complain. Not sure if I would drive from Milwaukee just for the museum but being in town already I am pretty happy with it.

The greatest place to see Stan the T-Rex. Take the kids or go by yourself its beautiful and informative. Friendly staff and engagingly active.

Very informative inactive for children. Layman term for anyone to understand how to do the digs

Great for the kids, small but with age appropriate activities. The main exhibit has sensors that activate animal/dinosaur noises, this may scare the little ones

Very interesting things inside the museum but the staffs are not approachable.

Our kids love this place! Where else can you see dinosaur skeletons (real or replica), kid friendly demo dig site, palentology lab in the basement; all for free (donations are appreciated)! A great find close to many other Kenosha attractions: trolley, lake front, museums, & seasonal farmers market.

Awesome free dinosaur museum with very unique pieces you can learn quite a bit.

We took our son and nephew here and they had a blast. Its small but it has a lot for them to do. Their displays are very interesting and definitely catch your eye. It was an extra bonus that admission was free. We will most definitely be back!

Even though its small, its free, all they ask for is a donation. They also have little activities for children plus theres a cool dinosaur statue in the front. My two year old had a blast looking at the dinosaur bones and pretending to dig up bones.

It is small, local, and free! For what it does offer, it is a great quality Museum. They suggest a $3 donation, and I dont think that is too bad. But as in most dinosaur museums it presents the millions of years as fact and not as a theory which bothers me.

Very cool display but just one room.

It was a small museum and free. There were a few nice areas for the children to play.

Kids ages 6 and 8 had a good time! Gift shop was a little pricey for the quality of items but all in all, a nice place to visit.

Small museum, but its free, and a nice place for kids

Its fine... There is basically only one big room with bones and a few other smaller displays, but what they have in the big room was pretty impressive.

Kids really enjoyed the dinosaurs, digging up the bones n to play with them n puzzle dinosaurs also. I just wld like to have more diff kinds of dinosaurs as well. Very friendly staff, especially the woman who explained the bones of one in Carthage section to my kids while setting up for a party.

Awesome place for kids. Lots of hands on activities

Nice exibit and very imformational. They take donations for admission which makes it affordable for everyone. I will definitly return.

Fun little dinosaur museum. Not a huge collection, but the staff is very helpful and friendly. They have a number of interactive exhibits for little kids. Great way to kill an hour with kids under 5. Free!

When I went with my sister and her granddaughter to see the Dinosaur Museum the staff was wonderful handicap accessory guess shop was nice I kept it at Four Star Plus

Really educative and one can understand about Dinosaur and their origin. Children get to feel the various types of Dinosaur .

Wonderful small Museum :-) the employees there were very nice!

My daughter loved it!! Worth the stop.

Its fine I guess its nothing to spectacular or should be noted

It was free and great for the kids. We donated some money to help make sure it stays open. I would recommend it with or without kids to at least check out.

I take my son here whenever I can. He loves dinosaurs

Small but free. Decent collection and the basement has activities for the kids.

Kids had fun looking around! We wished kr was a little bit bigger but all in all we still had a great time.

Very small, but very cute. The fossil room is impressive even for adults.

Theres not a lot of meat on these bones... theres one display. And a kid area with a fossil dig pit. If youre there in Kenosha, its FREE! And there is a old-time trolley car that runs to other museums and a picturesque lighthouse.
