Mississippi Museum of Natural Science

Description:

• Come explore "Mississippi's Web of Life" with a visit to this natural science museum. An octagonal skylight dominates the building, and beyond the perimeter of glass walls are replicated habitats of many of Mississippi's indigenous animals. A 100,000-gallon aquarium is home to more than 200 fish, reptiles and amphibians. Journey into "the Swamp," which contains alligators and such, or hike through 300 acres of carefully preserved forest.
