I love museums and this one is dedicated to the great history of the dells and the photographer H.H Bennnett who quite literally put Wisconisin Dells quite literally on the map with his photography. Our guide through the museum is a descendant of H H Bennett and she knew her family history well. I don't know if there is always a tour guide or it's a go at your own pace. They have bathrooms located upstairs and another exhibit on the second floor. It's a wonderful stop in for a blast from the past.

I really thought also that maybe the few reviews were not as accurate but guess what? They are.... I did notice that some of the "pieces" were not original, so with that said: I always thought museum pieces have to have at least some sort of significance in history, but it seems that this is just second reproductions of some sort. Now at all impressed but none the less, its "interesting", but if your a history buff, this place lacks history. Enjoy it for what it is.

I am very surprised that I am the first to review this place. It has been open for about a year and…read moreis awesome. It is something that is cool and different for the family to do. You can't miss it. Just look for the colorful cars standing up on end. They have a decent sized parking lot that it shares with the other business in the strip mall that it is in. I was also surprised that I did not have to have a reservation, even though I got there early. There still was not a long line or huge crowd the whole time I was there and we spent about an hour there. They do not even offer reservations either so, I do not know how they handle it if they get slammed packed. You start your journey by getting dressed in 80s gear that they provide. You could also bring your own, but they have a huge selection of pants shirts, shoes, earring headbands, sunglasses, gloves, phones, hats, sweatpants, and chains. They also have makeup for you. They provide changing rooms and lockers to lock up your clothes you wore there. I recommend getting there early to get your full pick of clothing. Once something is worn, it is out of commission for a while until it is cleaned. The staff there is so helpful and friendly they are awesome. They provide you with a tripod, which was perfect because I was able to use my Apple Watch to control my phone's shutter. They have about 20 scenes set up for you to take some photos. Some of the scenes include MTV, a big boom box, Miami Vice car, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Farris Beuler's room, Super Mario Brothers, Hulk Hogan, Back to the Future 2 hoverboard, a rubix cube, bubble gum and you start it all off with the Simpsons, which is located in the area with the clothes. The scenes are very well done. My favorite was probably the MTV, followed closely by Miami Vice and the Rubix Cube. You end your tour by exiting through a huge stack of VHS tapes which comes out in the gift shop and looks like a coke machine on that side. The gift shop has candy, drinks and 80 themed items like shirts, hats, rubix cubes, bags, lite brites and pictures. Once you hit the gift shop, don't forget to go outside and take pictures by the cars though before you turn your clothes back in. When you turn you clothes back in, you put them in a basket for cleaning and you are off. This place was very fun. My littles, who were both born in the 2010's both had a blast. You will definitely get some awesome shots. If you have an Apple Watch and iPhone, it is easy peasy. If not, you will just have to use your camera's timer or bring your own Bluetooth shutter. I highly recommend checking this place out. It puts an 80s spin on the selfie museum fad that is sweeping the country. It is a unique spot and is definitely more than worthy for a prime-time spot on your itinerary.

The history behind all the dolls was amazing. I really hope that more people find this diamond in the rough and support the owners. You can tell that this is something they are passionate about. Some notes below : 1 - They don't accept and CC or Debit cards so make sure you bring cash. 2 - Flyer from the hotel said they didn't open on Sun. till pm, website said to call and make an appt. Were able to get in a Noon tour 3 - Small space so if you have children who like to run around I would think the Doll Museum would be too small of an areas. 4 - Can't comment on the Railroad tour but DEFINITELY worth it for the Doll Museum.

We love touring the Children's Museums in Wisconsin. Today,…read moreWe decided to drive the hour and 15 minutes to go to the one in Stevens point, since we had never been there before. There were definite pros and cons. First the Pros: -It was only $5 a person to get in. -Parking around the area is free. -Everything is on one level, and that makes it easy to keep track of your kids. -The exhibits are different than the other museums. -The art area has so much to do, creatively is endless with all the different supplies available. (Paper, paint, tissue paper, cardboard cones, cardboard tubes, paper clips, yarn, plastic pieces, buttons, puzzle pieces... etc) Now the cons: -The super fun music instruments area will give you a migraine from kids constantly beating the drums. -The bathrooms were very dirty, as was the bubbler drinking fountain... the water also tasted super metallic. -The cleanliness of the whole place was actually lacking in every area. The floors appeared to have not been mopped in...forever. -The dental center that we were excited to play with was the most disappointing. Most things were broken, and there weren't any tools or anything to incorporate during play. -The vet area is a great concept but also lacked so much. -Staff was not overly friendly, as with other places...they weren't mean or anything, but they just all seemed very bored. My boys favorite parts were the "healthy heroes" And the Newscaster studio (which even the newscaster area could have been revamped to make it even better. My favorite part was the art station. We actually spent an hour and a half in there creating our crafts and masterpieces. So all in all, we enjoyed our time here. We wish things were fixed up, cleaned, and had accessories added to the exhibits, but for a small town children's museum, it was a good way to spend a day. Not one of our favorites tho, by any means.

We had such an amazing and fun experience at The House on the Rock! We honestly thought it would be…read morea short visit, but there is so much to see that we ended up spending several hours there and enjoyed every minute of it. The kids absolutely loved it. Everywhere you turn there is something fascinating, surprising, and unique to look at. The exhibits are incredibly impressive and creative, and the entire place feels magical and unlike anything else. The architecture itself is stunning, so artistic, detailed, and special. You can really feel how much thought and imagination went into creating the whole experience. One of our favorite parts was seeing the beautiful carousels and all the incredible displays throughout the museum. Every section feels different and exciting, and there are constantly little details to notice. It truly feels like stepping into another world. A really nice surprise in the middle of the visit was the food break area with ice cream and pizza. It was actually very needed because there is A LOT of walking, so definitely wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to spend a good amount of time exploring. It's much bigger than we expected. We purchased 15 tokens for the attractions/games, but honestly I think even 10 would probably be enough for most families. Overall, this was such a memorable experience for both adults and kids. Unique, entertaining, beautiful, and full of surprises, definitely worth visiting!

It was super impressed. It literally kept going on and on and on. so many fun interesting things. We stopped and got a hotdog at the cafeteria, which was nice because we were getting a little hungry and thirsty on this long walk. I would recommend bringing dollar bills so you can buy coins and put them into the different coin operated machines that they have. They have a lot of those around the entire facility and it's one of the only interactive options. Obviously everything looked really cool. I think that the only thing that would make it better would be to have a more interactive aspect to some of the parts, but I'm not sure how they would do that and I don't think they're gonna change anything. It's still well worth a visit.

This museum was a little meh. Some of the trains were rather…read morebeat up, not restored, the inside areas were a little musty in my opinion. The area inside the station wasn't great. The train ride was a little bland - and the stop that the train made was too long. The inside of the train was a bit beat up/worn down. The person who provided info inside the railway museum sheds (not sure if there is a better word?) was nice and informative. For $24 or so it seems a steep price. Bathrooms on site, free parking on the grounds.

Lots to see and lots to learn!

We came here while on vacation, on the last day of the year, during my kids winter break. I…read morehonestly think this place rivals bigger places like the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Although it's not huge, there are so many interesting exhibits packed into a relatively small space. We could have easily spent hours here until close but we had plans to hit the road and head back home to the Chicago area. The gentleman upfront was nice enough to only charge me for 2 adults, even though I later checked the website and saw my 5 year old normally would have been charged at a lower price. My children, ages 3 and 5, had a blast. They ran around from exhibit to exhibit. I like that each one had instructions printed to explain the illusion. If you're into outer space, space stations, etc., the second room is for you! My son and I paid the $4/ person cost to Ride in the space shuttle VR experience. It wasn't really that exciting, but my 5 year old enjoyed it. My favorite part was the 3rd exhibit. Don't forget to head upstairs as well. The Van de Graff generator (to make your hair stand up) didn't seem to work. I have a picture of myself as a child standing there, so I was pretty bummed I couldn't get one with my children. Since it was cold and snowing, we didn't experience any outdoor exhibits, but there is plenty to do inside. You do have to walk outside briefly between exhibits, so dress appropriately. Definitely would return!

This activity was more fun than I expected and the kids didn't want to leave. It is filled with…read morelots of hands-on science experiments and before I knew it we were there for almost 2 hours. The kids would have stayed longer but we had another event scheduled so had to leave. Even the little kids will find something interesting. Even we adults learned lots of cool things. I think the ideal age is 5-10 years old but outside that range is still good too. If you are staying at a local resort ask if you can get a discount for doing so. The tickets are (as expected) not cheap but this one is worth the time and money. Be prepared to end this activity through the gift shop and brace for buying expensive souvenirs.
