My friends and I enjoyed the adult only evening at the Museum. They had trivia, a scavenger hunt, food, and painting. It was a fun time, and the 3 hours of the program went by pretty quickly. If any time you see this Museum having another event like this, I recommend you try it, especially if it's for you.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 17 reviews
The scientist and community leaders that started the National Weather Museum and Science Center wanted to establish a museum that would house historical meteorological instruments and interactive displays and but also serve as a place to learn about weather and science. The purpose was to preserve the history and highlight the future of weather observing, forecasting and research.

This museum isn’t what I imagined; it’s a small space inside of a larger building and it can be difficult to find. Nevertheless, I thought it was fantastic but I do think you really need to be interested in weather and technology to enjoy this place. It’s not a cool museum with tornado simulators or anything like that, it’s small with old equipment and artefacts. When I arrived some people were just leaving so, Chris, the member of staff working there gave me a tour of the museum which you really need in order to understand everything. Chris talked me though how the old equipment worked and the ways in which it’s been modified for better results; these included old map machines, data collection equipment and radar machines. Chris actually used to work at the National Weather Centre so he was an actual meteorologist which made the tour even better! There’s also a damaged car in the museum from the last powerful tornado to hit the area in 2013. And of course any visit to a weather museum must include a green screen which allowed for a great photo opportunity and it is was free! The museum was a lot of fun! For me, it was better than going to Disneyland!
