About
This location occupies a beautifully preserved 1906 Victorian school building, offering guests a unique overnight experience combined with access to an extensive collection spanning more than 30,000 curated items. The expansive 42,000 square-foot facility houses ever-changing displays that appeal to visitors of all ages, from vintage toys and games to intricate model train layouts with interactive elements. Guests consistently praise the opportunity to step back in time and reconnect with childhood memories while exploring the meticulously organized rooms throughout the building's multiple levels.
The RV parking is exceptionally accommodating, with a level, paved lot that can handle rigs up to 60 feet and allows for easy drive-around access. The location sits conveniently close to Interstate 70, making it an ideal convenient stop for travelers, and nearby amenities including restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Many guests appreciate the quiet, safe atmosphere despite the downtown location, along with the ability to park without needing to unhitch tow vehicles or disconnect equipment.
The museum itself is highly interactive and engaging, featuring hands-on displays throughout multiple rooms—from playable pinball machines and slot car racing to working model train layouts that guests can activate. The basement features an impressive Peanuts collection, and the variety of exhibits ensures there is something to captivate both children and adults. Staff members are frequently noted as friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, often willing to share insights about the collections and personalize the experience for visitors.
This location offers an exceptional value for RV travelers seeking more than just a convenient overnight stop. The combination of excellent parking facilities, a genuinely worthwhile museum experience, and welcoming hospitality makes it a destination unto itself rather than merely a place to rest on a journey.
