very educational, be sure to take the lock tour and watch both excellent short films. unfortunately, the tow simulator was down when I visited... guess I'll have to come back
Interesting visitors' center. Didn't take the tour. Easy parking; short walk; not crowded. Nice stop along the way on a day trip from STL.
Educational to see barges locked through the lock and dam. Friendly guides and good educational materials about the river and lock system. Some of the exhibits are a little worn, and could use updating.
Friendly staff: nice exhibits, we enjoyed trying our hands at steering a barge. Will be back for a tour of the Locks when we are back in town!
Nice museum... Free and very informative. Worth the time.
