Looking for a fun and unforgettable outing the whole family will love? Head to the
Eiteljorg Museum, where adventure, imagination, and discovery await at every turn!
Start your journey downstairs, where kids take the lead! In our vibrant family experience
area, little ones can dive into the stories of five real families connected to the American
West. From there, it’s time to play chef at Wisdom’s Café. Our hands-on, pretend
restaurant where young visitors can harvest fruits and veggies from a raised bed
“garden” and whip up creative dishes in a playful kitchen.
Next stop: life on the ranch! Step into the Morrison Family barn and try your hand at
chores like grooming our friendly (pretend) horses. Then put on your explorer hats in
Ms. Shew’s kindergarten classroom, where curious minds can examine fossils and all
kinds of cool specimens in the mini science lab.
And don’t miss one of our favorite spots, a realistic stagecoach perfect for climbing
inside and imagining what it was like to journey across the Great Frontier in the 1880s.
Once you’ve explored downstairs, head up to the first and second floors for a visual
feast of art. Stroll through galleries filled with stunning American Indian and Western art,
and uncover the powerful, personal stories of the Indigenous Peoples of North America
and the many cultures that have shaped the West.
When it’s time for a break, swing by our museum café for tasty bites like fresh salads,
crispy chicken fingers, cheesy quesadillas, and more kid-approved options.
Before you head out, be sure to pop into the museum store. From sparkling jewelry and
Pendleton blankets to books, clothing, and toys, it’s the perfect place to pick up a
special keepsake!
No matter your age, the Eiteljorg Museum promises a day of laughter, learning, and
lasting memories.
