Raymond M. Alf Museum

This is a really awesome little museum situated on a High School campus. It is a private school. Parking is free, but you will need to sign in at the front kiosk at the parking lot (adults need a visitor pass). You will then pay inside to visit the museum. Staff were all exceptionally nice and informative. There are a lot of fossils that were found in our deserts, including Barstow, and were found by the students from this school. This school has a lot of history. The museum is two stories and you may finish browsing it pretty quickly. I suggest you take your time and read the displays as they are very fascinating. There a some hands on activities for the kids, including a dig pit. Our kids who are 9 and 12 had a really good time here.

Absolutely love and recommend this museum!! Kids (even adults) will have an exciting time here. It's a 2 story, downstairs is where the kids will enjoy the fun. It's not a huge museum but there's a lot to see. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

Super cool gem. Staff are a bit ridiculous with rules. I saw one harass a 20 year old for appearing “under age” without a parent, even though they were respectful and clearly doing research. Other than that, way cool.
