We took about 9 autistic kids ages 7-12 for a summer social program and the staff was incredibly…read moreinhospitable. First -for checking in the lady was upset that we showed up despite someone calling and letting them know ahead of time. The staff kept yelling at the children to stop running when they in fact weren't. One of the kids was stimming out of excitement and one of the ladies scolded her to stop. One of our boys was called a girl (be assured he cannot easily be confused for a girl). When one of ladies learned we were going to chapman town splash pad her response was, "you better watch your a**es out there" In front of the children which was absolutely inappropriate. The staff was ableist, made racist comments and overall made our entire group feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Do not recommend this place for people with autism, neurodivergent groups nor kids.

Great place! the volunteers work very hard to make it a special place. Met and spoke with Chris and…read morehe was extremely knowledgeable about the planes, models and history. Def a place worth visiting!

I also enjoyed browsing through their gift shop, and bought a book about the history of Magalia. I attended their Days of Living History event last September with my two grandchildren, and they had such a good time that they asked me when it was going to be held again. They particularly liked the booth where they could use a hammer to pound on flower petals under a piece of cloth to produce a pretty design! Go there - you won't regret it.

I never visited Paradise before the Camp Fire. Like most, I saw the impact on the community, but…read morethe reality of the event has forever changed the area. The Paradise Depot Museum has become one of the few outposts keeping the local history alive, and is doing a great job. Parking is limited and associated with the city park. The museum is small and tucked into one of the old depots along the railroad connecting Paradise with Chico. This rail line delivered lumber to a matchstick factory in Chico. Fire is a common theme in California! The museum has a HO model of the railroad and artifacts from the era. After the fire, this museum now holds a lot more exhibits from the Gold Nugget Museum including a lot of the teddy bears. It is now a central repository for the city and is a good sign that Paradise will never die. I am sure the Camp Fire will eventually be part of the rugged history of the area memorialized in museums like this. While the museum is small, the feel is huge with a personal touch. These museums dot the California gold country, but the Paradise Depot Museum takes on a new role keeping the history of a bruised community together. Bruised, but not broken. Rebuilding the Ridge includes preserving the past. Just don't even think about climbing on that caboose!

Great little place to get the low down on regional history. There is an inside and outside section…read morewith plenty of great history artifacts.

But the Board and Directors have to start choosing better quality shows. I know purchasing the rights to a show is expensive but I'd rather see four quality shows in a year than several subpar shows.
