I'm so glad we were able to visit! The center is open and has a lot of interactive things for kids to do. Our favorite was dressing up and packing a wagon full of supplies in the general store. The other crafts and activities were fun too.

Nice to walk around and read the signs. Fun little activity to do on a sunny day with the family. The signs have cool information and shows lots of facts/people involved in Oregon Trail. Really awesome adventure to take 4th grader as the study the Oregon Trail in school. Sad that the center was closed. Would love to come back when it is open.

I had been here as a child 23 years ago. I had fun memory of the place. When i visited this time i was less than satisfied. I enjoyed the hands on, self guided tour. There were many informative pieces and a cute 30 minute video. I givethis a 2 star review because we felt cheated and walked away from this experience incredibly frustrated. We paid for the inside, self guided tour, and the outside tour. The outside tour is a waste of money. First, we went to the meeting place for the tour to begin and NO ONE came out to let us know they decided not to do it. After 15 minutes i went inside to find out what was going on. The young woman i talked to was unprofessional and sarcastic with me. We came back to take the tour at the 3rd time block as we had already paid for this service and the woman who gave me attitude was our tour guide. She was unprofessional. I did not pay to hear her opinions or watch her sarcastic attempts at humor. It took 90 minutes and we could have done the walk in 20 minutes ourselves. Much of the "facts" she gave us was contradictory to the information we had read inside the museum. It is NOT worth the cost. If you are new to Oregon Trail history, do not waste your money on the guided tour. Additionally, this exhibit did not feel like a crucial historic place. It felt like a poorly maintained city park/tourist trap. It is probably great abd better staffed for school field trips. But insanely overpriced and under maintained for a historic location.

We were pretty impressed by this place. Definitely a great spot for kids. We made rag dolls and dipped candles. We felt the movie was more dramatic than informative but the room you go into after was full of interesting exhibits.
