Gift shop has some great items from unique tshirts to potato soap. There is something for everyone. Admission is not too expensive. 2 adults and 2 students for 25. Inside are 2 large areas. You get multiple displays on the history, how chips and crisps are made, how potatoes are grown and harvested. There is a small room with several short videos. Definitely do not miss. Watching how fries are made and seeing tractor history we're neat. In the back are some tractors, potato sack machine and a kids area. Some fun games on huge touch screens were fun for all ages. See how fast you can peel a potato. Cafe in the back is a great way to end. Your choice of fries, tots or baked potatoes. Also a few sweet items and some bottled drinks. We got 2 Idahoan potatoes and the Jackson Hole sodas. Baked potatoes were great and they gave lots of toppings: bacon, butter, sour cream and cheese. Yummy! Sodas were very good with unique flavors like huckleberry and strawberry rhubarb. Take your team, read the displays, watch the videos and have your favorite potatoe dish at the end. You will spend 60-90 minutes and be better educated for it.

There are parts of the museum with natural history back to the dinosaur ages and the geology.

Yes, there are a handful of interactive areas for kids ranging from "shoot the mammoth" to a separate play area in a section that looks as if you'd lived 100 years ago.

So many interactive ways to reach you about flight, aerodynamics and machines that can fly. Prices are affordable and plenty to do and see for the money. The section devoted specifically to Idaho is very interesting and worth at least another hour or more. Lots of places for the kids to engage and have fun.

He passed away last year, truly leaving a void in this world. The $10 entrance fee is worth it, because at this time, they offer you a choice of one of his excellent books! It is WELL worth the price of admission! The books are on the counter, left of the admission counter, so be sure to ask for yours! On the third floor is a display of the SPACE AGE era in America (striving with Russia). It covered the subsequent 'rocket' designs of vacuum cleaners. I couldn't help it, I laughed out loud while reading it! :D What I found interesting ; -Elizabeth of Bavaria's traveling commode (and HOW it worked) -WWII field latrine -The daunting DUST Victorians faced, and the first vacuum invented (horse drawn) -the goofy statues made out of cleaning & vacuum cleaner parts -all the vintage advertising & appliances -the video on how to clean a bathroom in three minutes! In their gift shop, they have an interesting mix of toys, cleaning tools, and other goodies. I ended up buying handy-dandy toilet brushes for my friends! Won't they be SO pleased?! SWEET!

My three year old had fun, and for his attention span the smaller size of this attraction was perfect. But it is t a huge place-- so just keep that in mind. Everything is low enough or has steps so that little ones can enjoy everything really well. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Do you know who invented tubes for the TV? Well, I do. His name was Philo Farnsworth. According to…read morethe information inside this museum, he came up with the idea while farming in Rigby, Idaho. Without his contribution tv would not have come about. The quaint small and informative museum. The volunteers who run the museum are friendly, full of information, and very knowledgeable about this museum and the surrounding areas. It features information about local celebrities. Such as Ardis Fisher who wrote "Mountain Man". The book was turned into the movie "Jeremiah Johnson". Fun facts about Jefferson County. The first TV tube, early pre-electric era, and early electric-era items are also on display. Many Indian artifacts which were unearthed during the early years of Rigby are here to be seen. It also tells about several doctors that made home visits back in the day. I remember those days when doctors came to your home. 14,000 square feet. There are pictures of the surrounding areas and who used to own what before it was purchased and subdivided. Lots of local history and information. Needless to say, this museum is not very big but it really is a must-see. Plus it is on the way to Heise Hot Springs or Swimming Pool, Rexburg, Jackson Hole Wy., Yellowstone National Park, or Grand Teton National Park. Allow at least 1=2 hour for viewing. Keep in mind, it is split up into eras and rooms. Cost is $1.00 for children and $2.00 per adult. Please keep in mind this is the History of Rigby and Jefferson County. Being from the local area and a retired homeschooler I highly recommend this historic museum. Small museums like these are often overlooked but contain way more than you expect or realize.

HOWEVER, it is worth the time if you have the slightest interest. This is a small, volunteer run museum, feature local pioneer and celebrity history. THE celebrity is Philo Farnsworth, born in Idaho and inventor of the Television. HE is actually extremely interesting and the docents at the museum are experts on all of his work. He was a self taught physicist and engineer AND he invented HUNDREDS of things before his untimely death in 1972. Perhaps even more important, for yours truly in particular, he invented the incubator - saving the lives of millions of future babies, (me!)

I really appreciate it when they use storytelling to kind of bring locations to life. It's amazing how groundbreaking this place was in the development of a nuclear power and the exhibits are all really well put together in educational without being too scientific or overwhelming.

There were some in our group that weren't sure they would enjoy it, but they had a blast looking around and getting immersed in the science and history of EBR-1. EBR-1 is the world's first nuclear power plant, and in December of 1951, it became the first power plant to produce usable electricity - eventually producing enough electricity to fully light the facility. Experimental Breeder Reactor-1 stopped producing nuclear power in 1963, and in 1966 it was declared a National Historic Landmark. I would totally recommend visiting EBR-1!
