Great experience. They have lots of fun interactive activities for the kids that are very educational aswell. My 3 and 7 year olds had a blast and so did we. The staff are extremely friendly and the gift shop is affordable aswell which is great if your kids want a keepsake that won't break the bank. Highly recommend.

Visited on a Monday, and Bill was very good. All people there are mainly volunteers. He spent a good amount of time with five of us, explaining the various tanks and such. It was a very informative and instructional experience. The museum is small but interesting.

Out of town day tripper; staff were friendly.I found it to be undersized. But the exhibits although quaint were well lit and layed out nicely.Washrooms were a little under kept, I did notice the local children's summer camp is in close proximity so that may be the reason.

We enjoy every visit to this museum! Great layout with many activities for toddlers throughout the galleries (they are happy to play while the rest of us enjoy reading about the artifacts).The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and their educational programs are varied and fun for students of all ages.We love to do our Christmas shopping at their wonderful gift shop!

Attended the museum on a PA day with my daughters. They have a great playground outside, a nice covered picnic area, and the museum proper has stations throughout with little activities for the kids.I was amazed by the view of the city from the grounds. Also, I was super surprised to see my family's name mentioned as some above average potato farmers back in the day in Marmora.It is a nice little museum of local history. As someone who moved to the community, it was great to learn about all the local history.

I think that the museum is interesting. My 12 year old, great neice liked looking at the pictures, but would not take time to read the information. I think that if there was a person, or a station, set up to let children hear about the museum, it would be helpful.
