S	Svea Poulsen (Sveava) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredible museum! I was blown away from the moment I walked in the entrance! It's amazing to be able to see so many things from many different cultures from around the world in one place. You are given an iPad to carry with you as you tour the museum and some times have videos or explanations to what you're looking at! The entrance is by donation so everyone can have a chance to see this incredible space. Highly recommend a visit here and multiple times because there's no way you can see it all in one visit.
N	Nerissa Sullivan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was our 2nd time visiting the Hand Of Man Museum, we love it. We got the incredible opportunity today to meet Jim. It was so special to hear him speak about the museum, hunting, conservation and how passionate he is about having the ability to share this wonderful place with the community. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend checking it out. We will be back!
R	Randy Oliwa on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We finally made it to The Hand of Man museum and it was absolutely awesome. Bonus, I got to meet Jim! The displays and artifacts combined with the location we’re simply outstanding. Add in the friendly staff and it was a perfect day. Thank you to the Shockeys for this amazing gift to humanity. We will be back!
J	Jean-Paul Thuot on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If the world's Most Interesting Man made a museum, this is what it would look like. Imagine a smallish elementary school that has been converted into a museum absolutely FULL of art, clothing, from around the world, taxidermy, geology, and DINOSAURS and you might have an idea of what this place is like. We got to chat briefly with Jim as he was walking through, a super personable and interesting guy. Entry by donation, as Jim believes he doesn't own any of the objects, that everyone should have access to them. Thoroughly recommended!
L	Leah O'Malley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely stop and see this place. Stop a few times if you can. So much to see, I did not give it the time needed. Great use of ipads for interpretive videos, but not everything has an explanation or interpretive card. Not a traditional museum, it highlights the life, dreams, and experiences of the owner. Biological specimens intermixed with human tools, art, and cultural artifacts from room to room. Many items available for purchase.
K	Kindra Rosgen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the coolest museum I've ever been to! My 6yo daughter loved it, and wants to go back ASAP. Dino skeletons, huge taxidermy collection, art, medical stuff, crystals.... Soooo much to see! A personal collection of wonder and amazement.
S	Susan Murphy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time experience at the museum today with my 6 year old. We were given an iPad which allowed us to punch in numbers from displays, it gave us additional information and/or videos of what we were looking at. Lots of rooms with wall to wall items and artifacts. We spent almost 2 hours there, and my daughter was kept interested in what was available for us to look at for our entire visit. Definitely great for children probably 5 years old and older, especially if they can read the additional information from the iPad 'tour'. There are a lot of items on display, so best to keep your toddler's at home. Admission is by donation and there is a gift shop at the exit. The owner Jim was there and I was able to chat with him a bit, which was also nice to experience. Definitely a great place to check out if you haven't been before, but also worth going again, even if you've visited in the past.
K	Katie MacMillan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely incredible collection, well worth a visit. It is jaw dropping every room you walk into; this is definitely one of the best museums just for sheer amount of things to look at. Would highly recommend a stop, worth much more than the suggested donation they ask for. Got to meet the legend himself, thanks for chatting with us Jim!
