2005-12-05 I went to the Heidrick Center last year on the free museum day. It was really interesting. There are really old tractors and trucks, as well I giant machines that are amazing to look at. Their gift shop also carries The Farming Game which can be hard to find —JanelleAlvstadMattson
When is the free museum day? Didn't see it on their web site.

2005-12-16 23:08:17 I have been here too and it is great. My family also got the farming game, both the cardboard and computer version, and the book. In the computer version I think I ended up with more than a billion cows. The book was also very interesting. —NickSchmalenberger

2013-06-09 12:51:21 I went here with my 2 year old son at 10 am on a Sunday morning. He seemed to like the experience, and really liked the old fire trucks. We didn't find the Ertl Playzone or computer interactives, but perhaps we just overlooked them. All of the staff were very friendly. The collection is impressive and well displayed, with descriptions at each piece. I was impressed that all of the pieces, even those over 100 years old, were in great condition. —Wehttam
