The Everhart Museum collection is small but quaintly eclectic. Their bird collection is second to none and their special exhibitions are constantly changing and are very creative. The nice thing is that you can enjoy the peace and quiet of a museum setting without big city crowds or people pushing and shoving or making noise. The Museum is clean, peaceful, serene, sober, family-friendly, and even has a gift shop and childrens corner where toddlers can play. The Museum even has a few surprises like the mummified remains of a cat. Their is a smattering of American folk art, African art, ancient sculpture and art and nineteenth-century American and Pennsylvania art. It is just enough to wet your appetite without overwhelming the senses.

Funky little museum. The permanent collections are fairly small and don’t change, but are still fun to view. They make up for this by getting excellent traveling exhibits during the year: Ive seen an amazing collection of Vietnam War photography as well as a very cool Lego art exhibit there. I tend to go about once a year- it makes a great, low-cost date and is always fun.

Big fan of the Museum of Science and Industry. The campus itself in Hyde Park is beautiful and an easy access straight shot down Lake Shore. I usually take my kids here on the weekends. It is not crowded and parking is usually easy to find. Its a perfect place to spend our weekend!

I took all four of my kids and they enjoyed seeing all of the exhibits. It was great to be able to explore pieces from our area along with pieces from all over the world. The animal exhibits, rock exhibit, and dinosaur exhibit were favorites.

So lucky to have such a wonderful staff curating fun and thoughtful exhibits in the rotating galleries. Also do so much to partner with local community and agencies and involve children. Great place to take visitors to Scranton.

A wonderful addition to the Scranton area. The past few exhibits have been well-curated and interesting. I have been enjoying the "Everhart after dark" events as well as the summer events out on the lawn. Keep it up!

Being one of the only things for kids to do in the area it would have been considerate to change ur hours accordingly on ur website. There was a little crowd of disappointed children today.

Love taking the children here. New experience every time we go. Like that things change every 6 months to give it a fresh experience to the little ones as well as for me too

Its on the smaller side, but dont let that deter you. They get some really interesting and well-curated exhibits. Plus, you cant beat admission at $7 per person.

Go for the crowd-pleasing seasonal exhibits, stay for the freaky world class stuffed bird collection.
