The museum curator was a pure delight as she brought to life a range of thoroughly researched stories about pioneers past and present and the town's development. It was clear she cared deeply about telling the stories with honesty and empathy for the local community. As a result, we came away from this visit full of information and enthusiasm for Hinton, it's past and it's future. We look forward to following her progress with future museum developments and would readily return in future to see them for ourselves.

Great selection of exhibits. Easy to spend an entire day here with something for kids of all ages (parents will enjoy it too!) the planetarium is fantastic, presenter was great and a few different shows played throughout the day which was nice. The space exhibit is small but really well done with lots of interactive stations catering to all ages. The moon show is short and sweet but very entertaining and informative. Discovery land is obviously a hit with toddlers and the science garage is another hands-on gem. The dinosaur exhibit was top notch however it was disappointing you were forced to walk through the gift shop to get to and from it. The restaurant has great food selection and the entire building was clean. We’re happy we visited on a weekday in September I can imagine it gets pretty busy during peak times and it was more enjoyable to have many exhibits to ourselves. Thanks for having us. We’ll be making the trip back!

Neato little museum. The collection is small but wonderful. The concert we attended was intimate and engaging.
