3 Best Places To See in Jackson, MS

This is a great place to learn about Nature. Our Grand kids loved watching the baby Aligators being fed and so did I. It was entertaining to watch them grab their fish and take off with it. They have several live snakes and a lot of fish in huge aquariums. They have taxidermy exhibits showing animals in their natural habitats along with many Dinosaur bones. They also have Dinosaur exhibits on the nature trail.

What an exciting place! Admission is reasonable. There is a large parking lot. The day I went, was during a time period when they were doing an Easter egg hunt, and it was just too cute watching the kids going around counting. An outdoor trail of dinosaurs was lovely. I liked how they had plants and animals organized by region of the state. It was all well thought out and put together. I really enjoyed it.

Super cool! Lots to see inside, and fun nature trails with life sized dinos. decent priced gift shop, lots of exhibits. Kid friendly, and enjoyable for all ages. Coolest outdoor play park I believe I have ever been to. My kids didn't want to leave.

One of the best museum experiences I’ve ever had. It used a unique and attentive way to reveal this dark history, which made you feel like you were really experiencing the same thing with the oppressed people in the past and reminded you to remember it as well as prevent it from happening again. The staff were awesome. They were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any questions. As a person who knows little about this history, I learned a lot from this museum and recognized the importance of pointing this history out despite how heavy and hurtful it was.

I go to most of the event that the museum put in and I’ve never been disappointed. This museum highlights all of MS history and it doesn’t hide who MS is. I must say tho as a person who has heard some of the stories from someone who was a child during these times, seeing it in a museum makes it surreal. Parts of the story is triggering but well worth the learning experience. It’s part of who we are as Mississippians and I’ll be proud to tell someone to put this on there places to visit if they are traveling through the area.

This place was so beautiful yet so sad at the same time. They had so many stories, and details and real life scenarios where you could place yourself in the situation you truly cannot see everything in one day because it was so much to see we were there for at least 3 hours and the second part where is shows the growth of MS was so cool! Definitely worth the trip.
