I am a sucker for old school encyclopedic museums, and this one is pretty iconic in this arena…read more It's eclectic, filled with oddities, and super fun for the whole family. Where else are you going to see dinosaurs, mummys, and a handwritten letter by Elizabeth I? I really enjoyed walking around, exploring, and I know my kiddo did as well. It's in an old building downtown and has loads of charm everywhere you look. 4/5 stars because I thought the kids play area was a bit of a letdown - it felt a bit dirty and neglected. There also isn't a cafe, which I think would be a fun addition if they ever plan on expanding or remodeling. The exhibits were wonderful though, and I thought for the price it was a great deal. Overall I'd for sure go back and if you're the kind of person that enjoys something off the beaten path, or has a love for old stories and a solid diorama, this is the place for you.

Second time there. First time was several years ago. I like the mixture of historic artifacts…read more The Greek and Roman sections were my favorites. I spent a lot of time reading the information posted. I spent over two hours there. There is a children's play area on the third floor if you want to bring your youngsters.

This is a pretty sweet place to stay if you're vacationing or driving through Kansas. I stayed here…read morefor 2 nights a few years ago and had a great time with my family. Each staff member we came across was so nice and seemed like they truly enjoyed their job. I mean who wouldn't when you're dealing with animals? There are several different rooms that you can choose from when booking and each one has a different theme. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. There's lots of space and we were comfortable throughout our stay. Since this place is really out in the middle of nowhere it doesn't seem to get much business because there was only one other family that was there when we were. It's nice and quiet and you can get a feel of what life is like for these workers. I loved that we were able to get a little tour the next day and feed some animals for breakfast. The goats are so fun and the kangaroos were cool to see up close and pet. They had lots of other animals and it was cool to see what all they were working with. Overall, this is a fun stay if you have kids or just want to have some fun at a small zoo for a few nights.

Great place to unwind and slow down. Plenty of space for kids to play while getting to sit and relaread more

HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!! We were sent to Phoenix, Az on one of his worst buses. To start it…read morewasn't really clean, none of the amenities promised per the agreement were available. The fan kept going out anytime we'd go up. AC was barely working. The bus stopped on us in the middle of the high during a high traffic in Albuquerque. Which was a real safety risk. The drivers had to keep pulling over and resetting some switch and the sensor. A supposed to be 18hour trip turned to 24 hrs almost. He owner claimed to have the vehicle looked at in Phoenix, however we faced the same issues headed home. Making this trip very miserable and uncomfortable. The owner took no accountability for the issues and tried to gaslight. The driver especially Jeff Jr were exceptional, and tried what they could to get us there and home. Oh and let's not forget the owner claimed he had a mechanic a hour away from Albuquerque and told us to keep going so we could meet them just to turn around and tell us the bus was German and they don't shave anyone to work on it. Horrible experience.

This is our second experience with this bus company and both were outstanding. As before, the…read moredriver was excellent! She was timely and gave us a very smooth ride. We will definitely use Elite Tours and Charter again!

Definitely the weirdest and quirkiest place I have been to in all my travels. Certainly very unique…read moreand I was not expecting to see The Main Dude in a state of decomposition in the backyard mausoleum. Yes, the embalmed body of the guy who built the Garden of Eden is on display in a glass-topped coffin. The entire place is bizarre and is built out of concrete. And the construction did not begin till the artist - an eccentric civil war vet with WILD political and religious ideas - was well into his 60s. The guided tour is nice and gives a good history about the place and the artist. Recommend visiting if you are in the Lucas/Wilson area. Weird. Delightfully weird.

We are so happy we took the time to go off the beaten path to see this place! Unfortunately, it had closed an hour or so prior by the time we arrived, so we could only read the signs outside and observe the exterior art. We really would have loved to see the inside. This is definitely a hidden gem and something out of the norm!
