Great family experience. Lots of neat displays and the 4d movie experience is amazing. We took my father in law there and it was well worth the trip and costs. The views from the top of the museum is amazing. I wish we could have spent a little longer explooring the area. They have some neat traveling displays as well.

Went for Ice Fest 2018 and it was our first trip. We have two young kids and it was a great time! The museum has a great blend of aquariums and historical information. It was great to learn more about the mighty Mississippi and enjoy all the Ice Fest festivities. Would recommend to anyone!!

We have taken our grandsons, daughters, son-in-law, and my grandson to the National Mississippi River Museum. What an awesome place to visit. All of us enjoyed petting the Stingrays, seeing the eagle, sing the reptiles , fish and otters. Great grandson four and a half ago every day if we would let him. We will return.

We love going to the river museum with our family membership! Lots of hands-on activities for the kids, and informative displays and engaging audio visual for all ages! The aquariums are always a big hit with everyone!

This place is great. History of the river, boating on the river and a nice little aquarium. There's a whole upstairs area with a giant water table for kids to play with. Would definitely come back again in the summer. Looks like they have a ton of outside stuff to do.
