1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** The theme song, an energetic, bouncy beat that perfectly encapsulates the fantastical wonders of the Eyewitness Museum.
3	** The episodes' own leitmotifs are no slouches themselves, perfectly suiting each subject.
4	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
5	** At the end of ''Dog,'' the dog hero finds his owner, and the two play together while walking in the museum hallway.
6	** In ''Bird,'' the duckling hatching and learning to walk. [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter So cute.]]
7	** Similarly, the Maiasaura babies hatching in ''Dinosaur.''
8	* SpecialEffectsFailure: You can ocassionally see the [[ChromaKey blue screen]] in the corner of the museum's walls that have stock footage on them as the camera moves to or from them, especially in the first season.
9	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: To be expected from a show from TheNineties.
10	** Some episodes make reference to Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
11	** A shot of Manhattan's skyline shows the Twin Towers front and center.
12	** The ''Mountain'' episode alludes to the Lima–Huancayo in Peru railway as the largest railway in the world. However nearly a decade after the episode aired, in 2006 the Qinghai–Tibet railway opened in China taking its place as the highest in the world with its elevation at 5,068 m (16,627 ft)
13	** The ''Islands'' episode states that Ascension Island's populations of nesting seabirds have been decimated by feral cats. These have now been completely eradicated and birds are returning to the island.
14	** The ''Natural Disasters'' episode makes reference to Hurricane Andrew, which struck in 1992, as one of the costliest hurricanes to ever strike the US. Since the series ended in 1997, several more hurricanes have caused ''far'' more damage to the US, beginning with Hurricane Katrina in 2004 (125 billion USD in damages versus Andrew's 27.3 billion).
15	** The ''Dinosaur'' episode confidently states that we know dinosaurs are covered in scales. The episode aired in 1994, only just before [[ScienceMarchesOn the first fossils of unambiguous feathered dinosaurs were uncovered]] in 1996.
