floor is dedicated to paleontology; take a walk through time as your
visit exhibits chronicling key times in earth's history. The Geoscience
exhibit is located on the second floor, where rocks and minerals,
fluorescent minerals, and the geology of the region can be found. Third
floor exhibits include the Windows to Wilderness exhibit on Rock River
Valley biology and the First People exhibit which introduces visitors
