Visitor tip
Don't miss the magician exhibit - visitors consistently highlight it as one of the coolest exhibits they've seen in person. The photos don't do it justice, so plan to spend dedicated time there.
Best time
Arrive early if you're attending an event to have uninterrupted time exploring the museum exhibits and building recreations before the event starts, as performances can create noise in certain areas.
Visitor tip
Bring young children - the museum is designed to be interactive with plenty of hands-on exhibits, touchable memorabilia, and educational demonstrations that help kids understand Whittier's history from its origins to present day.
