It was a nice facility void of anything interesting or captivating for the kids except for the theater and the planetarium which was interesting, albeit visually dull. The Peoria and river history could hold the adults attention for about an hour or so. It's a good start for a museum that begs for growth.

Beautiful museum. Planetarium dome is awesome. Caterpillar visitors center is right next to it. Both are great for kids or to kill a few hours. Highly recommended! It even has a Imax type theatre that serves wine with a movie.

I've visited the museum twice, once being specifically to see the Prohibition exhibit. The museum offers bus tours to see the city of Peoria. Check website for dates and prices. They also have a theatre that costs separate from the museum entrance ticket. The movies are always educational and appropriate for the family.

The kids enjoyed the interactive area, but I wish there were less screens and more hands-on activities. The art exhibit was what you'd expect...perhaps I'm not of high enough class or intelligence to appreciate much of it! The history of Peoria section was very interesting. We also enjoyed the star show.

Decent variety of exhibits that are professionally done and well thought out. Though it's probably only worth visiting 2-4 times per year.
