Food + Farm Exploration Center - Plover, Wisconsin

We came for the world’s largest potato masher and stayed for the Exploration Center. All of the exhibits are designed to educate through interaction, with every exhibit having interactive elements, including a wheelchair accessible tractor simulator. The children’s space is adorable and a perfect place for kids to learn while playing. After exploring the inside, you can take a self-guided tour through the fields outside. The gift shop has items that you will actually want to buy either because of the functionality or the cute designs. The center’s staff is friendly, helpful, and makes you feel welcome. The center offers military and senior citizen discounts and its layout is accessible.

Wow, totally surprised by this. Drove past all summer and decided to take the kids. Great center. I think a lot of adults were having as much fun as the kids. Definitely worth the visit.

Being that the center was devoted to farm and food, I have loved some more healthy food exhibits, basically the whole place was dedicated corn and potatoes. There were literally 2 Lays Potato Chips exhibits, not the healthiest food, if you ask me.

However, the exhibits were engaging and quite interesting! My kids played for 2 hours solid, and would have stayed all day, if they could have.

My children had a wonderful time exploring. The venue is beautiful with huge windows and a lot of light. There were lots of vehicles and interactive exhibits. I would say, probably half of the museum is really geared toward younger children and has a lot of imaginative play (grocery store, food, truck, kitchen area, trucks, and farm equipment etc.) and the other half is more geared to older children who are at least able to read with more technology components to the exhibits. There were quite a few of the exhibits that involve technology that were not functioning at all or were a bit glitchy, which was kind of frustrating for my kids, but totally understandable. The tractor simulators were super cool. They would love to go back again, and we will eventually, but the price was pretty steep, especially for adults who aren’t really participating much $12. Overall it’s an amazing place. That would definitely be worth checking out. We went later in the day and it wasn’t too busy.

Children's museum with a lot of interactive displays and activities. As the name implies, the displays are dedicated to agriculture and farm to food. We are adults and were in the area, so we decided to check this place out. Had fun getting photos with the farm equipment. They have a cafe and a gift shop as well. The place is clean, and the staff were very friendly. You can also see the worlds largest Potato Masher outside!

Just found this as a photo op. It was our third “World’s Largest” on our day trip. We will be back to see the Center based on the reviews. Thanks for the memorable point of interest.

My daughter wanted to go here for her birthday. She had a blast. We left to get lunch and came back to play some more so it kept her busy the whole day! Decently priced, a lot to do, good quality for activities. There's a place to eat on site but she wanted to go somewhere else. There's also a gift shop.

You can walk around the fields and see what's growing. You can also go around the side of the building and see the world's largest potato masher.

Great place to have a meeting. Plus has things for kids to do. The farm experience and children’s museum was awesome.
