Lots of cool examples of trains with many were open to us to walk through and explore. You could also take a train ride onsite. The museum is close to many shops and businesses off of Oneida Ave. so everything was close. Great gift store too if you are a train fanatic, lots of train-themed merchandise.

While I'm not specifically a Houdini nut, I love a good quirky museum. One of the things I really…read moreenjoyed about visiting this spot was the building itself, formerly a Masonic temple built in 1923. The flooring and woodwork were beautiful. But as far as the Houdini exhibit, I wasn't blown away. Several of the interactive pieces were not working. I did enjoy that you could get inside some of the items, like the milk can and a straight jacket, but I wouldn't recommend a trip here just for the Houdini exhibit. The History Museum at the Castle does have other exhibits, which depending on what's in house could make your visit more worthwhile.

Museum layout is very good -- minimal space is used to maximal value. Exhibits do a fantastic job of relating historic and contemporary practices.

I would say I spent maybe 45 minutes to an hour in the museum. You just wonder from room to room looking at everything. My favorite were the plain old glass paper weights that were round.

We happened to show up on the weekend they were honoring the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo Fire. We caught the last few minutes of a talk and then saw a new video they made about the fire. It was very good and very informative. If not for the movie the center itself was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for more having been to the excellent Luxembourg-American museum in Belgium Wisconsin (go figure out that one). [You must be wondering do I only tour Wisconsin-based museums of small Northern European countries. No but my wife is of Luxembourg descent so that is why...] Anyway the people were friendly and the few displays were interesting I was just expecting a bit more content.
