We loved them at their old location & it looks like a lot of fun at their new location. Unfortunately we got there an hour before close to find out there is an admission fee. It is now $5 for adults & $3 for ages 1 to 17. We are excited to come check it out but if you drive an hour like we do then leave yourself more time to visit to make it worth it. The only reason I am rating it 4 stars is because of the age they start charging admission. $3 for a 1 year old seems a bit much when most places do not charge until they hit at least age 3.
Great place to be! A lot of fun, interesting exhibits! My only suggestion is to add a coat check. Thanks!
My family attended church service in the meeting rooms. I was very impressed with what I was able to see of the facilities. Landscaping is similar to low-water consumption/ prairie restoration areas with lots of native grasses and plants. Artwork scattered throughout the main lobby and hallways by local artists. My children loved the colorful, but not overdone, vibe of the lobby with a variety of seating options including: couches, chairs, animal shaped stools, and a couple of rotating loungers.
The new museum is visually stunning and fun for all ages. In my experience local history museums are stuffy and boring, but that isn't the case at all here. Attached to the exhibit is an excellent children's discovery center. Lots of fun hands on imagination play activities. Price is affordable, especially if you were to get a family year membership.
Another very well done and managed facility by JoCo. Meeting and gathering spaces are plentiful, programs abundant and historical exhibits on par with Smithsonian. Worth the trip with whole family to this little gem.
