I've always been interested in history, and this place sounded like a fun day trip destination. It didn't disappoint. The staff was very knowledgeable, the museum was interesting, and Big Brutus itself is really a site to behold. The tour was self guided, and it was really neat how you could go into Big Brutus and actually sit in the operator's chair. Definitely a cool piece of Americana, and worth the trip!

There is not a lot of sights to see in SE. Kansas but Big Brutus is a must see for out of town visitors and they have a nice museum.

This is an AMAZINGLY large piece of machinery! Unreal how big it was and the fun part was that we could climb in it and take a tour. It was self guided, but still neat to run around in. I'm sure my kids would have loved it. The museum part was very interesting. I was unable to watch the whole video, but I would highly recommend you do so to learn much of the history of Brutus.

Glad we had the GPS to find this amazing roadside attraction. This is an amazing piece of technology standing 16 stories tall with treads/wheels that are more than 6 feet tall. Sitting in the operators chair it's hard to imagine "driving" a building. My kids and I really loved the side trip.

We were not going to make the trek out to see this at first but then we thought, why not. Imagine driving down flat country roads in Kansas, passing farm after farm and then out of nowhere you see this incredibly huge machine. I think one scoop of dirt with this will fill something like 6 train cars. If you have young boys or are still a kid at heart you should make the trip out to see this. The drive out is nice too because you get to see some great countryside. There is a little shop there too.

My kids really enjoyed this little side trip on our way home from Kansas City, MO. Very informative. They enjoyed the climb up into Brutus. He really is massive!

This is a machine that when you get to the site, looks unimpressive. But once you get up-close and personal, it's humongous. The museum have a lot of history, as well as other machines that will impress adults and children alike. Bring your camera, and see if you can take a picture close to Big Brutus, and show it all.

Our grandson was underwhelmed when we pulled into the parking lot but after going through the visitor center he began to get interested. As we walked up to Big Brutus, he was beginning to get excited and after the tour, he was very impressed. Definitely worth the trip!

This was my second time to Big Brutus, and it was just as huge and awesome and interesting as the first trip. It was just my husband and I the first time we went about 10 years ago, but this time we happened to be driving through southeast Kansas on long trip east with kids so we stopped again. It is so huge, you can see it before you get there, and that really builds the anticipation of it for the kids (ours are 9 and 6). It doesn't take long, so it is worth pulling off the highway to find it. It was still in great condition, and the small museum has some interesting information in it. You will be able to climb up in it and look around, and you cans till get to the "drivers" seat, but you can no longer walk up the boom. When we were last there you could walk up part of the boom, but they have signs that explain for insurance reasons, it is totally closed. Still thrilling to see. It was $8 for adults and $5 for kids, totally worth it. They have a cute T-shirt I bought for my son. Small gift shop, but I love off the beaten path gift shops and I usually always buy something. Overall a thrilling start to our road trip.

If you travel through or are in Pittsburg, this attraction is worth the search to find it. My Grandkids loved the gigantic coal shovel. It is stories high and you can walk through the stories and sit at the controls. No better way to understand the history of this area. Attached museum is also very well done.
