Housed in a 1923 Union Pacific train depot, this beloved museum lets kids climb aboard a real caboose and explore hands-on exhibits. The star is an authentic hand-carved Dentzel carousel, so save time (and check the height rules) for a ride. Weekday mornings are calmest for younger visitors.

What visitors say

We absolutely love coming here, but on our latest visit, I think I was even more fascinated than the kids! The entire museum is incredibly engaging, clean, and well thought out, but the room with the taxidermy completely stole the show. Getting to see animals like the lion and leopard up close in such incredible detail was amazing. It’s a wonderful, educational space that strikes the perfect balance between fun for the little ones and genuinely fascinating for adults. We will definitely be back regularly!

We went on Friday morning.bwas there from open till almost 2 in the afternoon. Its 12 per person, kids under 2 are free but for whatever reason I still got charged for my youngest one. Its cute,made exactly for kids. To grab,move,play with. All the rooms are different. The bathrooms are clean, despite them being busy used by kids,very tidy. There were other schools on a field trip,we just went a different way when they were getting there tours.thered about 9 rooms to go into and explore i believe. They did have a craft room, but that wasn't available at the time we went. No food is available there. They are right next to a park, so thats suoer helpful. Overall both myself and kids, had a nice time.

It's really fun for kids ages 10 and younger, wouldn't recommend for older kids. And because we went during summer vacation it was packed, but overall my little ones had fun. I personally liked it because since the kids are in the WIC program, there was a discount. You just have to show your card and driver's license.

The museum was very well arranged and engaging for the kids. I brought my niece, her husband and their 6yo twins and they had a blast. However when I was looking for it in Google, it said admission was free. I ended up paying $56 for all 5 of us. It was a surprise, but I paid without complaining because I wanted them to enjoy. Free to $56 is a huge difference. We got 2 discounts, military for the father only (other places gave the discount to his whole family) and senior for me. Not a good look for the museum.

Many years ago, I brought my niece and nephew. Today I brought my great niece. She had such a blast. This is a very fun and educational museum. She had lots of fun in the dress-up room and the Farm. Also intrigued by the tarantula, Lucy. We can't wait to come back. The staff is friendly as well. Plan hours of fun for the littles.
