Just happened to discover this place with the kids. At first, a paper museum might not seem that enticing, but we all loved it. Very friendly staff, a chance to make paper (which turned out great), and interesting exhibits. A fun coupe hours that we all learned from.

We had a great time learning how paper is made, and even got to make a piece of recycled paper.

Wanted to go to the Houdini museum when my mom was visiting but they happened to be closed for maintenance on the day in question so we saw that the Paper Discovery Center was open and decided to check it out. Ive lived in the general area for 2 years and never once though about checking it out. I wish I hadnt waited because its a wonderful museum. It sits along the Fox River and from the windows you get to see the water rush by. The museum exhibits are awesome as well. They are interactive and all ages can enjoy them. It isnt a huge museum but there is a lot to see. If you go make sure you watch and participate in the paper making demonstration. It is included in the price of your ticket and makes for an awesome souvenir. The entry price is reasonable as well. If you need to kill time on a rainy day or need to get out of the heat/cold, you should definitely check this place out at some point.

This is a great place! We made a piece of paper!

Wonderful and educational. A bit pricey. Many things to see and do.

What a neat little gem in Appleton. We were in town and were hoping to find some place to visit. Not a museum that you would spend all day at but definitely left there learning a lot. Making paper was the best part of the visit!!!

A fun place to make paper and learn about the processes

Great place to take the kids to to explore paper history

Very interesting, with fun activities for kids. Making your own paper is a real highlight.

A very friendly place, quite casual and fun for kids. Educational as well. It was founded by the Kimberly family. We wanted to learn a little more about the paper industry, and the amount of information here was just about right. One can easily spend a couple of hours here. The scenery is great, and theres even a nice restaurant on premesis.

This is such a wonderful museum. You learn about paper making and area history, too. Bright, well described exhibits with audio links for Moe information. Plus, you can make a piece of paper, too. The staff is patient and terrific. A real and unexpected pleasure!

Very interesting place to visit with kids

A wonderful experience. Very hands-on. I would highly recommend this to any family, group or school. We made paper, which was so cool and got to work our way through many experiments. The artwork displayed through out tells a story and is stunning to view. We even got a private history lesson from the chairman of the board who happened to be there that day. I cant say enough good things. Just go.

Interesting but way overpriced. Some group was there and we were not allowed to see half the displays but still charged full price.

My daughter loves to come here and make her own paper. Lots of information to learn as well!

Great, fun place for kids (and learning).

Such a hidden treasure. Take your kids..highly recommend

Staff catered to school field trips and all but ignored other visiting children.

Were adults without kids and found this really fun. We went on a weekend and it wasnt swarming with people. Interesting exhibits to learn from and fun interactive paper making!

Fun and educational for kids of all ages. Plan on 2-3 hours to see everything and make homemade paper.

Nice displays. Helpful staff.

Great place to learn about local history. Awesome little science experiments.

So awesome! Be sure to make paper while you are there.

It was okay but wont go again

Fun field trip with my kids class. We were rushed through because we were short on time but there was so much more I was interested in and the kids could enjoy.

Fantastic way to learn about Paper Valley!

Loved coming here! I enjoyed working as a volunteer, and found that the facilities and the displays are very interesting. Everyone Needs to check out the paper lab! So much fun making your own sheet of paper!

Went there on a school trip with my kid. Lot of activities for younger kids. Lot of history.

Take two hours to experience and explore the displays and make your own paper. $6 adult admission well spent.

Such a fun hands-on museum experience! Be sure to make your own sheet of paper!
