Went there a year or so ago. I can't remember the dates for sure. It was interesting and we enjoyed it.
I have taken many visitors here and they all seem to enjoy the hometown friendliness of "Dorothy". It's worth taking the time to visit!
They even have the flats from MGM movie set. What a treat that is to be able to see that historic flat of Dorothy's house.
For anyone who enjoyed the movie...this a treat. There are life size replicas of characters and lots of history regarding the making of the movie. Its like an oasis in the desert when traveling through Kansas. It is a walk through museum and it has a gift shop. I visited in July of 2012 and just now getting around to reviewing it so I'm not sure if the cost of admission has gone up.
Our time was from 2-4 on Sunday. We got there at 1:30 - and still had an hour wait until we got even close to the ski lifts - Then once we got up there - still had to wait behind hoards of people taking photo's and way behind on their tour. Once we got to Dorothy's house - we had a number - which we had no idea why - finally we asked - and we had to wait another hour before going in and starting the tour. Only one vendor left no food or drinks -the one vendor only had popcorn (which they ran out) and coffee. The line was so long you would miss your number if you got in line. Lots of people dressed up - that was cute. No where to sit either. Just horrible. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Wish it has been better. Terribly organized. Maybe the earlier people faired better.
Stop by and take a photo. But I wouldn't do much more. There is a free museum there about the local area. Take a quick peek if you like. Nothing earth shattering inside. $7/head seems quite steep for a guided tour.
Each time I travel through Kansas I make sure I take a detour to see this museum. Although it might be getting a little bit old I love how you can go from Dorothy's house down the yellow brick road into the world of Oz. The museum gift shop always has a lot of fun things to purchase and everyone is very friendly. They've added a tour guide since the first time I visited the museum. My hopes is to one day make it to the October festival.
The idea is cute but a bit sloppily put together.the guide was very cute and entertaining .some of the antique s were nice..not sure I would recommend anyone th o stop in..
Looks like any other old house in Kansas. My Adult Daughter really wanted to stop here. When she asked if she could take a tour the Proprietors said that they might be having lunch at 11:00 and were not sure when a good time for a tour would be. The grandkids would have been just as happy if not happier playing at a truck stop.
We followed the Yellow brick road to a great little museum. Saw bricks from Ronald & Nancy Reagon as well as Judy Garland's daughter, Liza Minelli. And it was wheel chair accessible.
