Aimed squarely at under-tens: hands-on rooms, a farm, dress-up, taxidermy displays and a tarantula, with clean restrooms and a park next door. Reviewers stay for hours. Two practical notes: there is no food on site, and admission is charged per person, which surprised reviewers expecting free entry.
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.

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.
