I honestly don't remember how often I came here back in the day (you know, when I was a kid), but…read morewhen I walked in this past week to see Wreck It Ralph, all the memories came flooding back. It's a small, two screen theater that is exactly how I remember it, down to the smell, even. It a sort of sweet, slightly musty smell that adds so much to the charm of this place. For some reason, as the nostalgia swept over me, I subconsciously felt compelled to get Twizzlers as my movie candy of choice (I believe they were usually accompanied by Reese's Pieces, too). Seats are relatively comfortable, though a little low on the back. I found that this helped me sit up straight during the movie, it would've been an epic slouch to be a comfortable one. Picture quality of the movie was great, volume/sound quality was great, as well. Nowadays, they're showing first run movies, so there's no need to head to Madison to see a movie on opening weekend if you're a movie nerd like me. On the down side, cash/checks only... but the Kwik Trip is right around the corner with a no fee ATM (just in case)! Also, only one screening of each movie on weekdays, two on weekends. Here's the real bummer: They recently found out that all movie releases starting next summer-ish are going to be in digital format only. Digital projectors are expensive. This theater may end up closing for good, unless they can raise the money to buy new projectors. I really hope that they will be able to accomplish their fundraising goal... Richland Center would be losing a cherished (to me, anyway) landmark if they cannot. Save the theaters (the drive in is at risk, too... the place where my cousin's now husband proposed) in Richland Center!

My cousin really wanted to come here and I didn't even know what it was. We drove here from St…read more Louis to come see this attraction. I came in blind, not knowing what it was. It was super impressed. It literally kept going on and on and on. so many fun interesting things. We stopped and got a hotdog at the cafeteria, which was nice because we were getting a little hungry and thirsty on this long walk. I would recommend bringing dollar bills so you can buy coins and put them into the different coin operated machines that they have. They have a lot of those around the entire facility and it's one of the only interactive options. Obviously everything looked really cool. I think that the only thing that would make it better would be to have a more interactive aspect to some of the parts, but I'm not sure how they would do that and I don't think they're gonna change anything. It's still well worth a visit.

This place is immense! We walked over 3 miles to see all the collections amazed by former owner…read moreAlex Jordan. It can be overwhelming if you have sensory issues, so keep that in mind. Lots of lights and lots sounds, not to mention the number of things to look at. Plan for walking up and down hills and walkways/stairs. Some areas are too narrow for mobility aids and might be a tight fit if you are plus sized, like I am. That said, it was worth every step to see it all. The automated music machines, infinity room, and the carousels were my favorite parts. I'm sure there's plenty I didn't notice, so I would return to take in more of it. Be prepared for irregular temperatures throughout the experience, as you move between indoors and outdoors and gated locations versus not. There are many restrooms along the way, as well as a cafe halfway through where you can rest and recharge. We didn't stop there, but it smelled great as we walked through. Get your tokens at the front desk to save a little money. You'll need them for the automated music machines. I bought 15, but I could have used 5-10 more. Luckily, you still get to watch and listen when others use their tokens.
