Fodor's Expert Review Mississippi Museum of Natural Science

For a medium-sized facility, this museum packs a big punch—especially for families—with a combination of indoor and outdoor exhibits and activities, including a 100,000-gallon aquarium and a swamp-style greenhouse, as well as 2.5 miles of nature trails in part of LeFleur's Bluff State Park. Rotating exhibits, themed programs, and outdoor performances make this a good choice for return visits.
