The facility is moving downtown Peoria. It will be nice to see what is offered and if it still brings different exhibits throughout the year.
Be sure not to take young children. We are always looking for things to do when we visit my parents in Peoria. We have been to lake view 3 times and each time, even though we are in the kids area, this crabby old lady who works there follows us around and tells the kids not to touch, make noise, etc. My children are very well behaved and I am always with them. It is always very uncomfortable. I would never recommend going if you have young kids.
Very nice museum with events and displays for the entire family. Great gift shop and always top notch displays.
For a small museum there is quite a bit to see. If you are expecting a big city museum you will be disappointed but staff here is friendly and helpful. A good place for children and seniors.
I thought this might be an interesting thing to do, but was pretty disappointed. A few kiddie hands-on displays but not much else of interest for adults.
My grandkids love to go here. They enjoy the children's section of the museum and the gift store. My grandchildren also took art lesson at this building. Very happy with the classes.
A very nice local museum. Hosts traveling exhibits frequently. Wonderful gift shop that is great for finding Christmas and birthday presents.
Support exibits and they will keep them coming. We are lucky to have such a venue in Peoria.
The "regulars" are this museum are ok. Not a lot though. Small kids science area when hands on activities. Some of the traveling exhibits have been VERY GOOD--worthwhile to note what is currently here. The planetarium is VERY nice. Worth doing while you are there. It is a nice museum to have in a city the size of Peoria.
The sculptures outside were the best part of the visit. They were in the front and the rear of the museum displayed very well
