Museum hours are 9 AM to 4 PM and we leisurely drove in at 10 AM on a Thursday thinking that would be more than enough time to experience all they have to offer. Boy, were we wrong! Started with the indoor experiences in the Main Street area spending a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of 45 minutes per room(could easily have been more if we weren't trying to experience the whole thing, FOMO). Our favorites were the bubble factory(kids can encase themselves into a giant bubble!) and the grocery store with a pizza oven. Once we moved on from Main Street, we went to Explorer's Hall where there's a faux camping area, real life airplane cockpit, climbing wall, sand area with dinosaur fossils, and aquarium where we spent close to an hour. Broke for lunch at the cafe there where the food is terrible but edible(which we were expecting so no points lost there). Orders are placed thru an app, which didn't work for us due to poor signal so ordered at the front desk instead. Explored upstairs afterward, which had a STEM area which was the most enjoyable place for our 7 year old. Compressed air pipes, kinetic energy ball machines, bed of nails etc. Our 4 year old went to Roessler Hall downstairs, which had a large slide and water mill play area that kept her occupied for some time. Finally, we went to the outdoor exhibits which are fairly sizable in their own right. We started off with a train ride that leaves at the top of every hour. It's a good way to get a feel for everything offered outside(especially when the weather is hotter) to help pick and choose what's worth doing. There's playground areas, a sensory garden, walking trail/pond among other things. Overall, the visit was above my expectations and I would come back again for a day trip!

You can take your lunch inside and they have a big cafeteria where they will hold it until you're ready to come and eat.

They have the coolest interactive play stations throughout and they change periodically so it's not the same the next time you go back. So so much fun!

We went here a few weeks ago during our holiday visit to my sister's place. This place is enormous and you could literally spend hours here without your kids getting bored regardless of what they're into. My kid's fav was probably the ball area and the echoing room. I went in the tape slide thing with him to start and have a few warnings about that thing lol. The only way not to slide backwards walking up the enormous incline the tubes are on is to go barefoot and ... gross lol. If you have a little one like me, esp one who is overly cautious on this sort of stuff and won't do it alone, be aware that you'll both get run over in that thing by kids on their own running around. My son could barely get inside without getting knocked over. The slide itself is really steep and goes super fast, so I wouldn't have wanted him to go down it alone. Needless to say, we only climbed around in that tape thing once lol. The place is crazy clean for being a giant play structure. The bathrooms were clean, too. The temp outside that day was cold AF, and they kept in comfy inside so you weren't sweating to death in winter clothing running around. I don't know what I thought was the coolest as an adult because truly, this place has so much to offer. Probably the echo room was the most neat to me because it was super interactive AND required little parent participation haha. My mom is in a wheelchair and she was able to get around in there just fine and was able to be safe off to the side, but still get to see everything perfectly well, so I appreciated that aspect a lot.

A Museum That Makes Edmond's History Come Alive…read more I honestly walked in expecting a quick visit and ended up spending far more time than I planned. That's always a sign of a great museum. The Edmond History Museum does an outstanding job telling the story of how a tiny railroad stop became one of Oklahoma's most vibrant communities. Admission is free, but the experience is worth much more. I enjoyed learning about Edmond's very first residents, John and Cordelia Steen, and discovering how the city got its name from railroad official Edmond Schuyler Burdick. Those stories alone gave me a whole new appreciation for my hometown. Since I'm working my way across Oklahoma's Route 66, the exhibits covering the Mother Road were my favorites. The museum explains how Route 66 changed Edmond forever--bringing automobiles, new businesses, diners, service stations, tourist courts, and a completely different way of life. I even learned that early Edmond struggled with reckless drivers... proving that some things never change! One of the most entertaining displays featured Happy, the Blue Hippo. I've driven past that smiling blue landmark countless times, but I never knew its history or all the adventures it had after being "hippo-napped" by local students. That exhibit alone made me smile. Another highlight was the restored Gem Theatre exhibit, complete with the original projector, theater seats, vintage advertisements, and stories from the projectionists who kept the movies rolling decades ago. It was easy to imagine what a Saturday night at the movies was like in 1950s Edmond. The museum also showcases Oklahoma's unique Rose Rocks, beautiful historical photographs, railroad memorabilia, clothing, china, and countless artifacts that paint a picture of everyday life throughout Edmond's history. The exhibits are well organized, beautifully displayed, and easy to follow. Whether you've lived in Edmond for fifty years or you're simply traveling Route 66, you'll walk away knowing something you didn't before. This museum gave me an even greater appreciation for the community I call home. It's one of those places that reminds you history isn't just about dates--it's about the people, businesses, and everyday moments that shaped a town into what it is today. If you're visiting Edmond or if you live here don't overlook this hidden gem. I highly recommend it. I've lived here 20+ years and I'm just now realizing how much history my city has to offer!
