The staff is friendly, and the overall experience is absolutely worth it -- we even decided to get a membership because the value is great. My only gentle critique would be to keep an eye on the quality and cleanliness of some of the toys and play items. A few things felt a bit worn compared to other children's museums we've visited around the country. That said, it didn't take away from our enjoyment, and it's still a fantastic place for kids to learn and play.

They do a nice job of sharing the history-and there's much more than just mining, too!

They did a remarkable job downstairs making you feel like you're actually in a mine-it's pretty cool! Well worth a short visit while you're in town.

First, don't be fooled by its small size (looking from the outside). Besides the first floor and the patio exhibits, there's a basement level full of displays. In fact, it's one of the best displays of Native American artifacts I've seen in a long time. I'm not sure if they have a parking lot or not. If not, you can always park in the terminal parking lot. This little museum is FREE! However, they take donations and if you like it (like I did), I encourage you to throw in a few bucks. Enjoy!

What a great little museum in down town Billings (across the street from the coolest pawn shop I…read morehave ever been in, btw!), so glad we decided to stop in! We were fortunate to get parking right up front although I'm sure it gets really tricky considering its down town. I appreciate the architecture, the building itself is really beautiful. There are 2 floors, the main floor has a couple of side rooms, and downstairs there was an area where little ones could color and try out a pair of maracas (these went along with the Hispanic heritage theme). There are stairs as well as an elevator so it is ADA accessible. I believe the cost was 5 dollars per adult, 3 for students and kids. Totally worth it, I'd recommend anyone to pay this museum a visit!

It was "just okay" as a Heritage Center…read more We're in town for a day and decided to check out the Western Heritage Center. We thought we'd see and learn quite a bit about western heritage and culture. And there was a bit of that here but not much. There was a large art installation and info on the life of Ben Steele, a former Japanese POW, turned artist and art instructor. We did enjoy learning about Mr Steele and his life. There was some information about Yellowstone National park but related mostly about bears. There was some information about Native American Indians. We paid $5 for one adult and $3 for one senior. We felt the price was about right and while we enjoyed learning about Mr Steele, we were left a bit puzzled about this Western Heritage Center.

The had a piece by Alexander Upshaw 2023. In the text regarding the tribal regalia- they state for the photos (long ago) he used "costumes" You have to be careful with the word costumes. If the pieces are from their regalia you don't use "costumes". Costumes are for dressing up for Halloween. I think the text was saying the photographer took a native Americans from a tribe and dressed them in regalia which actually belong to a variety of tribal nations.

The family definitely left a mark in Billings, although they weren't originally from Montana, their mansion design, architecture, and layout, was created through the use of a combination of studies within different cultures.

When you walk through, you can somewhat imagine what it must have looked like then, without asphalt streets and driveways- staff were also really sweet and shared more stories during the walk through as well. They also have a cute little gift shop upon entering, first floor. Bought a few little items. Would highly recommend.
