I think 26 dollars for him to play was pretty steep, there isnt that much to do... its mostly little stations to play pretend at like you can see in my photos. He did have fun though, and the place was clean with friendly staff.

Wow-cool gallery with earthy & unusual items. Lots of leaf and tree themed pieces from paintings to…read moreclay sculptures. Wooden measuring cups, scoops and spoons. Lots of jewelry and bags. However, most everything was out of my price range which was surprising. I figured there would be some inexpensive items. Necklaces seemed to be well over $100 each with most of the ones I like arounf $150-160. The wooden measuring items were all over $20 apiece so a set would've been nearly $100. Lots of stuff wasn't priced but at that point I knew when I shouldn't even ask! I will be back here to browse and again, if you need a cool gift and are shopping in the $100+ price range, go here first!!

### A Hidden Gem in Our Community…read more I've lived here for about three years now, and somehow I had never visited the railroad museum. Well, with family in town, we finally went--and let me tell you, it was **amazing!** Both Mary and Morice Godsil are so passionate and knowledgeable about the railroad and trains. I honestly expected to walk around, look at a few trains, and say, "Oh, that's a train." But it was so much more than that! The tour given by Morice was absolutely incredible. He shared so much information and was truly passionate about the history. Not only does he have firsthand experience, but he also shared the knowledge and experiences passed down through his family. It was truly a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend checking it out! It's affordable, fun, educational, and, most importantly, you can tell how passionate the people are about preserving and sharing the history of the railroad. If you haven't been yet, **go visit--you won't regret it!** #trainmuseum #galesburgtrainmuseum

Large collection of bits and pieces collected by donation. Nothing especially important. Some staff…read moreare quite friendly, others not so much, especially regarding photographs. Something about "copyrights" which the "camera guard" was unable to adequately explain. Based on common copyright law almost everything in the museum is now considered in the public domain due to its' age I pressed for an explanation, but the "authority" could offer nothing more. Especially annoying was this person's tactic of beckoning my wife and I by wiggling his right index finger as though we were his naughty grandchildren. Had I known the direction our conversation would take I would have ignored the gesture and walked on. Instead I obeyed his summons, was taught the law and simply walked out. Dingy experience indeed.

I guess they allow businesses to come in and do that often, which I think is really nice. My GPS was a little bit off so I'll be updating that but as soon as you cross the overpass it's the big white house on the left side of the street. I didn't realize that was it because I didn't realize it was a house. I went in December so it was a bit cold but we were specifically going to see the reindeer and I was excited! It was the cutest little place there were Christmas trees everywhere and people were having a great time. This business offers so many wonderful amenities, I was surprised at everything that they had to offer. There was a train for all ages that was safe and secure so nobody could fall out, a smaller garage like building where they were selling crafty items and doing some glitter face painting, a fire pit where you can sit down and warm up, a little trailer where they were selling hot cocoa and donuts, that was the cutest by the way! There was also a Big white Barn where you could go in and look at all the amazingly beautiful crafts, soaps, lotions, and home decor that they had for sale. They weren't even expensive either, you would expect some of those items to be more on the expensive side but they were definitely affordable. I ended up getting a hot cocoa sign and a prairie Moon farm coffee mug. The mug was $8.50. We walked over to the entrance to go into the reindeer encounter. As you go in, there are many photo opportunities, an area where the kids can sit down, warm up and do some coloring! After that we went over to say hi to the alpacas, they look very happy and healthy! A couple turkey's crossed our paths as we walked over to the reindeer enclosure. They were absolutely beautiful and they looked so happy and confortable! There was a girl standing by the reindeer enclosure and she was offering us Willow branches to feed the reindeer for free. She was very knowledgeable about the reindeers and talking to us about their antlers. There was a little girl there and she was really concerned because the reindeers antler was bleeding slightly. She gave us reassurance that even though they looked like that, they did not hurt, it was part of the process for when the reindeers drop their antlers. I appreciated so much that she knew about them and was educating us and the people around us about them! This is such a great place I think that it might be somewhere that I add to my itinerary more often. I hear that they have many seasonal opportunities with lots of fun stuff! They take part in Spoon River drive where they have lots of vendors there selling their items, they have plenty of seasonal activities for children and adults too including a big bubble pool in the summer. In the fall, they have a whole pumpkin patch along with seasonal drinks and foods and in the spring they have a flower market. I'm definitely looking forward to driving out here again next season to see what they have to offer!
