museum of idaho

A great museum to walk through with an always changing & interesting exhibit. Many thanks go out to all the volunteers who make this nice museum such a big hit!

We have had many top-rate exhibits at this museum. We are so lucky to have this in our city. The last one I visited was the journeys to the North Pole. We have also had a King Tut exhibit, one on blood, the Titanic, Holocaust and of course, Sue the dinosaur.

This museum has many good displays about Idaho Falls and Bonneville county. In addition, they bring in exhibits that usually only come to much larger cities. These outside exhibits are always professionally done and very informative. Our family has enjoyed visiting nearly all of these exhibits.In December, the museum has a large display of gingerbread houses made by locals that is very fun to visit.

The Museum of Idaho is a fun small museum to visit. The permanent exhibit does an excellent job of representing local Idaho history. The museum brings several new and educational exhibits every year. People of every age are able to enjoy a visit to the museum since the exhibits are well planned to capture the interest of every one. The volunteers at the musem are friendly and knowledgeable. It is a great place to visit.

They seem to be able to pack a lot into the museum, and they have some very interesting revolving exhibits from time to time.

Saw bodyworlds exhibit, awesome! Plenty of open space and lots for the kids to enjoy. Coming to Idaho falls during 4th of July is also spectacular.

For a small museum the Museum of Idaho has had some exceptional exhibitions which I have ready enjoyed. One of the things that I have appreciated in most of the exhibits has been the fact that you have something in the exhibit which appeals to all different age groups. One recent one that I attended was the Carousel Art. It was fascinating and really gave me an appreciation of that goes into the Carousel and the art pieces. The X-Rex was an incredible learning experience and it was fascinating to watch people's reactions to the exhibit. Looking forward to more. The staff are working hard to keep it current but still keep some of the historical flavor that is part of Idaho Falls/Eagle Rock.

I was truly disappointed. I called the Museum of Idaho and they said they have lots of jellyfish. I call them Jellies. I got down paid to go in and it was only pictures of Jellyfish. I walked back said I wanted my money back and the woman was snooty, and said what did you expect this is Idaho Falls, we can't bring in the real jellyfish. I told her I was in small town in Utah and they had a tank set up,

I have been to several exhibits at this museum, the only one I did not like was The Living Lights Glow. It was not very entertaining, I loved the rest of the museum though ! I am looking forward to more exhibits like the Titanic and a the dinosaur exhibits.

The Museum of Idaho has hosted some truly outstanding exhibits. One of the most recent, "Guitars" was reviewed favorably by the New York Times. In addition to the excellent traveling exhibits, there is also a local historical museum. A local architect firm did a wonderful job of combining the former Masonic Hall with the formercity library (a Carnegie) to house this facility. I doubt there are many towns of our size with a museum of this quality.

The Living Lights Glow was really disappointing. It was not fun, nor enticing, and I found it quite the waste of money. I usually love the exhibits, but this one had no interaction, just boring facts. So, thus time I was disappointed, and I reccomend not going to the Glow exhibit. Otherwise, the meuseum is usually fun!

This museum does a great job bringing in really incredible events. The permanent displays are nice, but the displays they bring in for such a small town is amazing.

The Glow Living Lights exhibition is far below the standard of exhibits I am used to seeing at this museum. The regular exhibit is interesting to a first time visitor.

I loved this museum. Easy to follow the attractions. Loved Idaho Falls. The ride from Boise, Idaho which was where I was vacationing was up the canyon with beautiful scenery. Unfortunately they were repairing the road so we had to stop on the way up and the way down. The wait was about 20-30 minutes then you followed the lead vehicle for several miles. No problem, with the scenery to see while you waited you didn't mind the wait !!~!!

We had this museum on our list but our timing was off. The very nice lady there explained that they were currently "between exhibits" and the new one was still in the construction phase. Closed.
