  • There is more than enough in all the facilites to spend several days seeing and absorbing all the displays. It is recommended that you allocate at least several hours for your first visit, many people stay the entire day and not see everything.

    Note: We offer a two day pass as some people with keen interests find 2-4 hours just not enough time to take in everything. (Or their kids like is so much, they don't want to leave.) No, we can't watch your kids overnight!

  • All of the facililities are handicapp accessible, and we have several loaner wheel chairs available at the gift shop.

    We believe dogs are our best friends and every dog deserves a good human. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in any of the museum buildings on the campus. They are allowed on the grounds when kept on a leash.
    However, during all major events, no dogs are allowed on the grounds at all.
