What visitors say
Wonderful free educational experience for the whole family with interactive features! The hours of operation are very slim being only 10 am to 4 pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays but well worth the effort to make it in your plans when…
The museum was excellent! There are beautiful exhibits showcasing the amazing prairie landscapes they are working to preserve. Great for all ages! Definitely worth a stop!
I highly recommend a visit to this museum/ discovery center. I learned a lot and like to see what they are doing up in Lewistown. Very educational, if you like animals and the outdoors.
