We went couple years ago and had a ball. It's not a huge place but it has lots of interesting stuff inside. We plan to go back this June with our whole family. Kids love it but we had just as much fun as they did! More

The museum is NOT a museum. If in any way that is why you are going, I would forget about it. First off, showing off your old stuff with no written context is nothing more than what you can find in a hoarder's collection. The Native America exhibits are also a joke. A bunch of arrowhead after arrowhead with no... More

We had a great time playing with all the illusions and playing in the Vortex room. I can't wait to visit again with the children! I would not recommend this attraction unless you have the ability to be young at heart. :) More

We were excited about visiting but sorely disappointed once there as there's nothing special about a house built poorly on the side of a hill. Kids may be entertained by a few things, but big waste of time and way over priced for most adults. Museum is it's only saving grace and mediocre at that. Pass it by and visit... More
