The caterpillar Visitor Center is an excellent place to go if you want to get to know much of the caterpillar equipment and history behind the company. Also a great place to take kids as there are multiple kid friendly activities and you can climb on some of the machines. It will not take a large part of time to see the entire facility. On the first floor they also have a gift shop with unique caterpillar merchandise.

Modern diaramas, interactive simulators, large machinery, and plenty of history to learn about from this historical American company. Also a great giftshop with very friendly staff.

We are 3 retired former employees of Caterpillar Brazil. We will be in the visitor center, on Aug. 4 (Saturday). We no longer have Caterpillar badges. How to get the tickets?

Are the tires on the big truck real?

Deb Harmon | Oct 25, 2017
David Alumbaugh | Oct 25, 2017

The only "real" part of the truck is the front cab. Due to the weight limits of the floor, the rest of the truck is made to scale but of lighter material.
