I do not deal well with heat so I did have to move thru some areas faster than I would have liked. They do have a cafe half way thru so you can have some food and drinks. I did not stop here but it did smell wonderful. There's many things to see and everything is really cool and unique. The house and infinity room are impressive as well as the HUGE whale but all of Alex's inventions and collections are amazing as well. Honestly, the whole reason why I wanted to come was the world's largest indoor carousel. It is beautiful. I definitely sat there for awhile watching it. Side note on the Carousel, they have no horses but they do have a bulldog and as a owner of a bulldog, I literally bought everything in the gift shop that had a bulldog on it. Till this day, they are still uncovering more items in storage lockers so they probably will continue to add more items. I do think this place is worth the price and it is something you won't find anywhere else. I would love to check this place out again and I do highly recommend it. Also, the gift shop is big and had a lot of different items for everyone.

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.

I had the BEST time during our trip during our couple hours spent here…read more I grew up in the 80, and 90s, and this place was just what I needed!! I love reminiscing about the 80s. That's when life for me was simpler, music was better, and people weren't as crazy as they are now. I just want to go back so bad, and Totally 80s have that to me, even if just for a little while. I believe it was $20/person. You start in the dress up room, and pick from a room full of clothes, shoes, jewelry, belts, fanny packs and more. It's all sanitized, so no worries there. You can even add some colorful eyeshadow and rat your hair with some Aqua Net hairspray. I was in heaven! You're given a selfie stick/tripod so you can take pics in all the 80s-themed, Instagram-worthy rooms. It took a bit of convincing to get my husband to ditch his idea that he couldn't find anything there that he actually wore in the 80s.... so we slapped on a fanny pack and an Empire Strikes Back t-shirt and had a blast!! Note to self... never wear the blue heels again...I couldn't walk in them... they hurt so bad!!! I can't wait to go back!!

There is a built-in seat for pictures. There is some interactive parts like the blackroom (view rocks under UV light) and a place to "smell" prehistoric times.

Walk out with some treasure and more appreciation for what rocks can reveal.

I wasn't sure what to expect, given that Black Earth is a small town, but I was blown away! What a cool little space, only 15 minutes west of Middleton, WI. There is plenty for kids to do from ages 1-10 years. The museum is divided into small activity rooms with different themes. There is a cave, night sky room, food market and kitchen, farm/tractor theme and rock wall with balance stones to name a few. It appears that they are currently working on building a veterinary clinic too. The main space had a large climbing/play structure as well as a music stage and my absolute favorite, flying squirrel exhibit with a suction tube to make the brown scarf "squirrels" fly off the tree! There is also 0-18 month old room for the littles and a cool art space. The upstairs was closed, but from what I could see it looks like there is a toy library (what a great idea)! Admission is $6 per person, and memberships are also available. Free street parking is available as well. We ended up spending and hour and a half and only left because it was getting close to nap time. Such a fun way to spend the morning. If you have a child, I highly recommend checking it out!
