You couldn t properly call this a museum because this center is so interactive. Here visitors interested in natural history can delve into their own investigations. Visitors become amateur scientists, with access to the center s large collection of plants, rocks, fossils, insects and animals, aided by scientific equipment, books and references. A smaller exhibit with some hands-on activities has been set up to entertain younger children while older family members tour the main exhibit. Visit while you can, because the center will be moved to the Mall in Washington, D.C. when construction is complete on its new building in 1999 or 2000.
Admission is free.
