Brief Description of Facility Each year over 200,000 people visit Michigan's premier natural history museum to press cider, watch the stars come out in our planetarium, and observe live bats. Our programs and exhibits encourage children and adults to understand scientific concepts by experimenting. From our Bat Zone to a towering T. rex, Cranbrook Institute of Science offers an environment that raises questions, encourages investigation and guides visitors to the answers.
