This was a surprisingly fun stop! I looked at my husband funny when he said he wanted to check it…read moreout. I guess, while in Idaho... Once you pay admission, they give you a bag of instant Idahoan buttery homestyle potatoes. Pretty funny! They have an outdoor exhibit with old farming equipment off the parking lot. Inside, they have a gift shop and museum with exhibits and cinema. They also have a couple of virtual reality goggles you can check out to see what farming potatoes is like. They have a children's learning area too, with interactive exhibits. At the end of the museum is the Cafe, where you can order potatoes in a variety of ways. We decided on the potato soup and loaded baked potato. Both were yummy! They have a cold beverage case as well. Everything was a little spendy considering what you're buying, potatoes, but it added to the whole fun experience for us! Would definitely recommend.

It turned out to be such a fun, memorable experience for the whole family! ​The exhibits are super informative and give you a cool look into how Idaho became the potato capital. But the highlight for us was definitely the cafe! We made it just before they closed at 5:00 PM and grabbed the waffle fries and the baked cheesy potato,both were absolutely delicious and worth the stop alone. ​If you're traveling with kids, this is a fantastic, quick, and unique place to explore. Highly recommend making it a pitstop!

The World Museum of Mining is a must-do when visiting Butte. The museum itself is interesting and…read morethere was a lot to see and learn about. However, the tour of the Orphan Girl mine in the property was by far the best part of the trip. Our tour guide, Ken, was excellent and the mine itself was fun to see.

They offer military and other discounts on their entrance fee The gift shop area includes information on local, current mining operations as well as merch. This is an outdoor museum so dress for the weather. If you want to take the under ground tour be sure you are wearing closed toed shoes. (Crocs not included, I don't know why) They also have above ground tours. Part of the property is set up like a western town. Something that would grow up around a mine. Post office, apothecary, carpenter, blacksmith, etc, etc. All these buildings are set up with window displays but most are not open to the public. You just peer thru the windows. There is a memorial garden to miners. A mine yard with pieces of heavy equipment. The motorized lift, miners locker room, light room, information and equipment used in dry and wet boring, 3D representations of mines and more with information posted on the displays. You can walk up into the mine head if you are so inclined to see how the ore chutes operated. We spent about two hours here without realizing it. Very interesting museum. Staff are very personable, answered questions and suggested reading material for more on the subject. Very good, family friendly stop.
