Overview
The Buffalo Museum of Science is perfect for kids and the kid-at-heart. Featuring hands-on exhibits that both children and adults can appreciate, the museum has remained a staple for tourists and class field trips for decades.
The Experience
Located directly off the highway, the Buffalo Museum of Science is accessible and, best of all, inexpensive. The museum's collections cover everything from anthropology to zoology, and include cool interactive exhibits. The museum holds North America's only Tibetan sand mandala and the world's largest Kodiak bear specimens. "Insects: Magnified and Magnificent" explores the world of beetles and butterflies through enlarged models, dioramas and video. An ongoing exhibit allows visitors to enter the world of ancient Egypt. It's enough to make anyone appreciate modern conveniences.

This is a nice museum will a lot of nice permanent exhibits. Some of the exhibits are old and could use an update, but still informative. Kids will have a great time here.

I don't typically like museum, but this one made me enjoy it! There were exhibits galore, echibitions all over, and helpful guides every corner you turned. I learned a ton and even revisited some places. I had such a good time I reccommend it to anyone visiting the Buffalo area and insist they visit it.

Everyone loves this museum, it's a lot of fun and very interesting to see everything they have inside, including the huge pendulum. Kids will enjoy seeing all sorts of old things and even displays they can touch and play with. The only drawback is that it's not in the best part of the city.
