“I’ve been to a lot of museums and you have one of the best area for kids (and museum additions for kids) to keep them entertained and really get them to enjoy history. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been in a historical museum that has catered to making sure the children had a great time as well, simply wonderful job!”– Allison Sword, Travelzoo Local Inc.
