    My kiddos are 1 and 2 and LOVE tractors! This was such a fun museum for them except for the rather large number of "do not touch" displays. There were a few interactive exhibits and 2 tractors for them to explore at the end but it would have been great to have one or two more for them to engage with. Perhaps a field to "plow" or a couple machines from the factory to "run?" Regardless, it was a great way to spend an hour or two and the gift shop was very reasonably priced.

    Perfect place to spend a couple hours visit especially for children. Very well run museum with free admission. Worth a stop if you're in Waterloo or passing through.
