Tellus Science Museum

Tellus Science Museum is a large science museum in Cartersville featuring extensive mineral collections, fossil displays, and exhibits on transportation technology. The facility offers interactive areas where visitors can explore scientific concepts firsthand.

The museum grew out of the earlier Weinman Mineral Museum and opened in 2009 as an expanded educational center. This transformation expanded the original mineral collection into a broader natural science institution.

The museum tells stories about the natural world through its collections and offers visitors hands-on ways to explore science and discovery. These exhibits are designed to make learning feel like exploration rather than instruction.

The museum is open daily and offers expansive galleries that visitors can explore at their own pace. Plan to spend time in the interactive areas, as these tend to be popular with guests.

The museum displays skeletons of large dinosaurs, including a Brontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex, but what sets it apart is how these specimens blend with rare mineral collections and astronomy programs. This combination makes it far more than a typical dinosaur display.
