About this place

The Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays, Kansas, showcases fossils and specimens focused on the Great Plains, including a well-known "Fish-within-a-fish" display. Families can explore rotating exhibits, join educational programs, tours, and camps designed to build appreciation for natural history. Affiliated with Fort Hays State University, the museum grew from combined university collections and continues to offer changing temporary exhibits for repeat visits.

If you are a member here

A membership to Sternberg Museum of Natural History carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
