From modern movies to historical sites, there's a little of everything. Heck you can even see Herbie there, or get on to a WWII car. I took my dad who isn't one for museums, and he had nothing but great things to say. He enjoyed looking at all of the war artifacts and even mentioned some that he saw growing up and shared some of his experience. Needless to say, this museum is great for all ages, boys and girls. So many great photo opps too! Can't wait to come back again soon!

This is truly the place to visit for those that adore the quality and design of old vehicles of every spectrum. The Volo Museum is a treasure trove of fond memories, sparking our minds to recall for example The Good Humor man or a childhood Faris wheel or a family car long part of our distance past. The Titanic exhibit was well done as was the War Museum. Outstanding! Going to the Volo Museum in the off season or January as we did have many definite advantages. Kids are in school and it is practically empty of the mobs of people that could be there at peak times. There was very little interruptions of people getting in the way of taking fabulous pictures and being able to view every exhibit calmly, unobstructed and at your own pace. There is a lot to be said about freedom of movement without a crowd. Yes, you couldn't do much outside because it was closed for the cold season but most of the fantastic exhibits are on the inside. I would suggest arriving at 10am because you'll need most of the whole day to see everything and you'll want to see it all. We saw everything except the Jurassic Park display, but we were told it was pretty much for kids. We had no kids with us, plenty of adult things to do here. We ate in the car along the way as there isn't very many good dining options in the off season at the museum. The Volo Museum is super clean and well maintained. I highly recommend the Volo Museum!

It's also SO reasonably priced at only $7/child for non-residents and Wednesdays are free play days. It's only open for 2 hours a day outside of member hours (you get an extra 30 minutes before open if you're a member), but honestly, 2 hours is plenty of time for us for my little to get her energy out. I was pleasantly surprised at how well kept and relatively clean the place was as well considering it isn't "manned" by an employee. I would have never guessed this kid's spot was ran by Round Grove Park District. We will definitely make the hike from VH again.

It's a newer library that is two floors of books, books, and more books. They seem to have every section you could want, all the way from children's corner, teen, adult and non-fiction, and reference books. Their computers are state of art, so they served the purpose of what I needed--to print a document. Also, their staff is incredibly courteous. I am not a member of this library, but the staff was quick to help me get a guest pass (bring an ID with you), and get me access to their facilities. If you're looking for a nice place to just work in quiet or enjoy a good book, then this is a good place for you.

For the size, it packed a lot of punch! My son loved the baby ducks that recently hatched and were waiting to be big enough to head to a farm. There were a ton of hands on activities that could be checked out. The play area had a wide variety of fun toys, including a mini basketball hoop and skee ball! I do wish they opened a little earlier than 10 a.m. There are definitely bigger libraries with more amenities in the area, but I enjoyed checking this one out and having the play space to ourselves!

I came here to apply for a passport and was helped by a very friendly staff member named Ana. They take care of everything on site AND do photos! Everything is done on a first-come, first-served basic, so I was happy that there was no waiting, nothing confusing, everything was explained well and the whole process was easy. All done in about 15-20 minutes. My boyfriend came with me and was very impressed with the video game collection (PS4 games, to be exact) and we definitely left with a few. As a fellow librarian, the sled library outside is really cute! Sorry to hear nasty comments from previous reviews. This is a nice library! If I had a reason to come back here, I would!

Keep up the good work, Kelli, and I hope to take one of your tours in person on my next visit back to the Midwest.
