Dont miss this hidden gem if you are traveling in the New Brunswick area!. It has a great collection, attractive display, and interesting architecture. It is small enough to make for a stress-free visit for families with young kids, and can be paired up with running about the nearby quad, and a few healthy food options in the new College Avenue complex, which has a large outdoor TV, tables and an easy-to-monitor lawn area. The museum also runs an annual all-day rock sale and educational event.

An amazing window into the past with many types of rocks and fossilised plants and animals. The verity of exhibitions are surprisingly interesting, ranging from mummies to human skulls showing human evolution. The geology building is a little hard to find but the security guard pointed out the building. The museum is definitely a recommended stop when you are in the area.

A treasure trove of rocks and fossils and yes, oh yes, theres a mummy! A very old school museum but done well and usually you can find a Rutgers geo student or two who are nice enough to help answer questions.

Absolutely wonderful, albeit small. Very good educational experience for kids and even for adults. For what it is, I was surprised that the museum was not packed on Saturday.

I took my 6 year old here for a day. The museum is small, but admission is free and they have some interesting things packed into a small space. We had a fun time.

Turns out they only let in Rutgers alumni.
