...comment from an adult tour group
"The group is still taking about our visit! All the way home they kept talking
about different things that they saw and did. The staff and I also enjoyed our visit!
I am still thinking about that lizard puzzle! We will put together another trip later
to the Top Museum. It was wonderful how you spent time with all of us. Your
dedication and patience is incredible. So thank you!"
Adult group from Jefferson, Wisconsin
