What visitors say
Wow! Catoosa has had this place over 10 years. Its absolutely amazing, educational and uplifting energy. It's free and even has gifts to take home with you. There are stones from around the world. Indian artifacts and an antique car…
We had a great time looking at so many fun, unique rock formations and toys. They also have a fantastic collection of classic cars! Eric was very welcoming and full of information. He was patient and answered all our many questions.
Very nice little museum. $3 entry fee. Nice gift shop
