Since our last visit, new exhibit’s have been added and existing one’s expanded. 

The sand challenge exhibit is fun and informative. Giving you a glimpse of the sand in a particular region or part of the world. If you have any sand to contribute from a region they don’t already have, you may add to their collection. Now if only I could find the sand I collected from Hawaii years ago…

The Ten Commandments movie set (by Cecil B. Demille) is still slowly being unearthed by archaeologists and art restorers. I’m sure Cecil is looking down from Heaven getting a kick out of people excavating his set, after being buried for over 60 years. It’s interesting to see the pieces, if one did not know better I’d swear we were viewing ancient Egyptian artifacts!  

The gift shop has many beautiful prints, books and souvenirs to admire. Hours are; Tuesday thru Saturday 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Admission; $7.00 for Adults, $6.00 for Seniors.

Numerous events are hosted for children’s education programs including internships and field trips. Visit their site to learn more.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
