Reviews
"Good place to learn about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. You get to see mention of them all along the Missouri River, but this place did well. There are moving mannequins with voiceover, but some appear to find it a little bit spooky."
"Oh, What Fun As I continue my journey along the Lewis and Clark trail, I made my way into Sioux City, IA to the interpretive center. Although the section that I went through regarding the expedition is setup for children and teens, I took advantage of it anyway. The interpretive center offers a visitors’ guidebook as well as a 70-page booklet titled, Lewis & Clark in Iowa. Both are free. The Official Visitors ’Journal, a stamping booklet, was used through the interactive, animated stations that offered information regarding the expedition specifically in this area and of the death and burial of Sergeant Charles Floyd. At each station the characters, Thomas Jefferson, Sergeant C. Floyd, the Corps of Discovery soldiers and York, the only slave in the group owned by William Clark. With the press of a button, these characters come to life to share their stories. This wonderful exhibit is a great learning tool for everyone interested in the journey of The Corp of Discovery. This building is part of another, The Betty Strong Encounter Center. Overall: Take a moment to enjoy and explore at this wonderful and free interpretive center."
"This place was fantastic! So much more informative than some of the other L&C places (maybe we haven’t been to most?). Anyway, this had a LOT of exhibits and explanations of why, where, and what happened during the journey. Nice layout inside with “talking” men telling us about their journey. There was a terrific statue outside that really was dramatic."
"Awesome quick learning experience about Lewis and Clark's exploration in Iowa and Nebraska. The recycled materials dinos outside were a great addition - part of a traveling exhibit."
"The temporary art display outside was an absolute joy. Going inside there were animatronics that told the story of the interpretive center. This was too mature for my 3 abs 5 year olds, but I enjoyed it. They had a Lincoln log activity for smaller children. We all left happy."
