I would definitely go back on my own, take some more time exploring. Make sure to ride the carousel! Parking was great. It was affordable, and not too busy. Stroller accessible.

We visited the Patee House, but the museum turned off all lights on us well before closing, (20+…read moreminutes before closing) and left us in a very dangerous circumstance on an upper floor in pitch black darkness. They were very well aware we were there in the museum, we spoke to them at the 30 minute and 20 minute mark when they told us they would be closing in 30, then 20 minutes and cheerfully responded that was no problem and we would ensure we were done and headed out on time. But they had zero regard for safety or patron enjoyment or experience. It is a beautiful museum but certainly do not get there within a few hours of closing. My children were scared and left having not enjoyed or learned about the experience as intended.

Looking at the exterior - you wouldn't expect everything that is inside this building - bowling, a bar, laser tag, and an arcade.

But it does seem they have specials so that you could possibly get your money's worth - if you show up at the right time. It is a definitely a lovely addition to the small town of St. Joseph.
