It is too bad that some complain about a small cost (less than $10) for entrance in a museum. Any museum or tour is usually going to cost a little something for operational expenses. There are discounts offered such as AAA. My wife and I paid $6.00 each for a tour that lasted over an hour. It has multimedia presentations... More

We visit a lot of museums, visitors' centers, etc. This ranks high on our list. The center is beautiful and there is something for everyone, children included. There was a reviewer who noted you could glean just as much, if not more, info from the internet. Well that is true of MOST "touristy" places we visit! We thought the presentation... More

We stopped here after getting some recommendations from family and the visitors center. The tour was good, just not what we excepted. The tour is part guided/part self guided with different videos and audio presentations. It goes through the story about how the Amish, Mennonites, and Hutterites religions came to be starting at the birth of christ and moving forward.... More

It was just us on the tour, but you had between 8-10 minutes talk/film in each room and it was informative and I like they way the format changed. The children enjoyed it and it held their attention. They liked dressing up in the Amish clothes. They could... More

Menno-Hof is a non-profit information center that teaches visitors about the faith and life of Amish and Mennonites. This was high on our priority list of things to do while we were in the area, and it wasn't disappointing. The price was very reasonable $6.00 for adults and lasted about 90 minutes. Gave me a better appreciation for the Amish... More

I took this tour as an educational experience with my children so that they could learn some history even though we are not Amish, Hutterite, or Mennonite. I think it was worth going thru as a been there/ done that. I love the quaint life of the amish saw many there in that area but don't think I could live... More
