Amazing exhibition, very nice staff, reasonable price.I wish it was 3 times bigger, could spend there many hours. Absolutely worth visiting.
MoreThe first plus was the free parking ramp that is attached to the building. The introductory film, shown in the bed of a huge mining truck, was wonderful. We loved seeing the huge machines up close. Some displays you can sit in. There is interactive displays for those that want to try them. The history of the engineering involved, the care of the company in re-using, refurbishing, etc. is so impressive. Another plus was we happened upon a free day in honor of Caterpillar’s 100th anniversary, along with a nice backpack filled with merchandise was an added bonus.
MoreGreat for families of all ages. Very informative it was so need to be able to go inside the different vehicles. My two year-old daughter absolutely loved it. Highly recommend and we’ll gladly do it again.
MoreWe went on a free entrance to the museum day and they served treats! Unfortunately, it was very busy with retirees so you couldn’t get to see a few things. The best part is the opening movie!
MoreCaterpillar’s visitor center is an extremely nice facility. There were a few items that children could interact on, but this is geared more for middle school on up for educational purposes. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
