Super cool vintage cars, gas pumps, and a jukebox (nothing can be touched). We took about an hour to read through it all - photos and videos are also allowed. Lots of parking spaces and the outside sign is cool. Friendly staff and an okay size gift shop too. Decently built overall.

But, the front desk lady was dellightful and extremely personable. The thing that really stood out in epic-ocity was the bee exhibit. My granddaughter absolutely loved it. Everything else was kinda lackluster. However, honorable mention definitely goes to the Bed of Nails exhibit. It was a true bed of nails, with a pillow provided for comfort!! In conclusion, if you happen to be in Springfield, MO, give this place a visit. Otherwise, don't bother making a special trip, you could be disappointed.

We had a blass at this museum because of the staff, exhibits, and more! Due to the size of this…read moremuseum the staff are open for questions from opening to closing. They also are more than happy to help you into the real, retired, helicopter and fighter plane. The staff is very knowledgeable about anything US military history and especially friendly. During the time we were there the staff told us that the reason for the museum is to help teach kids about the US history so that the wars, battles, people, and artifacts are never forgotten. All the staff there are volunteers and the tickets, they told us, are to pay rent and keep the lights on. Over all I would highly recommend this small museum to any pass-byers and tourist in the area. Would go again if I could!

Having founded a private art school in China and co-authoring three collections there, based on what I saw here, I'd sign up for an art class from this young master right now. 'The Truth of the Great Wall - 1' is a two-sided ink and charcoal drawing on cotton that stood in the center of a gallery and I came back to it again and again during my visit. 'Silent Excruciating' is a landscape featuring actual grass. 'The Lonely Road of Self-Redemption' is another landscape that employs tree bark. 'Masters from China' is a black and white landscape of acrylic, ash, and ink upon which a blood red section of a shirt hovers over it. His style is a mashup of Anselm Kiefer and free-wheeling calligraphic elements. I guess I should mention that there's more here. It's a small museum to be sure but there are some surprises in the permanent collection including an early Jackson Pollock and a deck of large playing cards by Jean DuBuffet. Manage your expectations and you may be glad you visited.

Parking is easy on the street. They're open Wednesday through Sunday, 4-11pm. Flat fee entry gets you credits all night. Pinball is still metered. But as long as they keep their pins running well I'll keep saving up quarters all year long just to bring them back to Springfield for family Christmas. Adults, the kids are alright. Kids, you're touching treasures. We like their shirts. They've got a print "Ugly Christmas Sweater" design right now that I just wish was actually in knit. Epic.
