Needed something to do while my family was in town visiting. Since I'm new to the Appleton area, I thought it would be nice to visit the Houdini museum. The castle-like building was super interesting walking in and the museum itself was upstairs. I wasn't really quite sure what to expect as an adult going to this museum, and I was fairly disappointed because it felt more like a place that you would take your small children to in order to do some small magic tricks and learn a little bit Houdini. I would have liked to see more of a grown up exhibit that went a little bit more in depth on the actual life and career of Houdini. If you're over the age of 10, I wouldn't recommend this place. However, if you're taking kids there, it's a great time and would highly recommend it.

Nicely produced exhibits. One can spend a satisfying couple of hours there, making the price of admission well worth while.

What a great community asset! The exhibits are well done and maintained. The history walks are educational and entertaining and the curators are knowledgeable and approachable.
