We really enjoyed our stop at the Northeastern Nevada Museum. My boys LOVED all the animals and gun displays. So many neat historical artifacts. Lovely museum with reasonable admission fees. Definitely worth stopping in.

Amazing animal and gun display. And plenty of art upstairs.

Great stop in Elko, NV

We love the Northeastern Nevada Museum! Its not huge, but the exhibits are well curated and it is wonderful for the whole family! If you are a local with kids, definitely spring for a year pass - with my littles short attention span, we explore for an hour (perfect to get out of the heat/cold and into somewhere climate controlled), then come back next week or month and see something we didnt notice last time! The museum gift shop is chock full of artwork and products from local artists and producers.

First class exhibit. The local history side was good, but the animal collection was outstanding! We spent lots of time identifying animals using their well done diagrams. Art lovers will enjoy the paintings and photographs. A real bargain.

This is a great museum - awesome art and gift gallery. The collection of animals is impressive, I cant recall another place with such an extensive selection. Highly recommend. Park in back is great also.

Very nice spot to stop and visit on the way to yellowstone. Price is on the cheap side but the exhibits are pretty cool. Tons on animals on display, art work, history, and guns.

Nice collection of local and regional historical items. Great information about local people, traditions and geology.

Great gift shop. Beautiful pictures of Nevada. The animals are amazing and so are the dinosaur bones. Kids loved it.

A fun museum that had a little something for everyone in the family. My littlest ones enjoyed and marveled at the huge variety of animals from around the world, my wife appreciated the painting and photo exhibits, and the historical relics and paraphernalia were impressive and educational. For a small museum in a small city, there is a lot to see and be interested in.

You really have to see it to appreciate it.

Really enjoyed the museum. The buffalo painting was my all time favorite

Descent exhibit. A little pricey. If sound effects are produced by approaching for example a growling bear, Id give 5 stars. Perhaps using motion sensors

Awesome Awesome Awesome.What a display. Love this place

Great small museum! A lot of taxademy, art and first edition books. Very cute gift shop with a wide range of products. Helpful and pleasant staff!

Wonderful place to take the kids! The staff was very friendly, and informative. It was entertaining to see how big some animals actually are that we arent used to on a daily basis

Really great museum. I would love to take my kids!

Great place to go and really see things that are a part of American History the gun collection is Amazing. Museum is well laid out and easy to meander thru at your leisure. Will James art brought me to tears as he was one of my favorite authors and horse artists as a child never thought I would get to see his work in person.

Ill admit it, I went in there with LOW expectations. I was shocked. There is a giraffe in cowboy boots, animals Ive never even heard of (and I was a vet tech for a couple years), amazing gun collections, and beautiful local art and jewelery. After popping in here on a work trip I will make going into rural museums a regular habit. Well done Northeastern Nevada Museum!

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit today.

Its a shame the museum ruined all of its charm with the Wanamaker Wing. A giant build-on nobody needed, full of some guys hunting trophy collection, that no one in the museum was prepared to care for. Every specimen there has been poorly preserved. Creepy, disturbing, and just plain sad to see. I loved this museum as a child before the Wanamaker exhibit was built and nowadays I couldnt pay any kid I know to let me take them here, which is a shame as the Native American artifacts, antique printing press and a few of the other exhibits are pretty cool.

Beautiful museum with loads of incredible taxidermy. Interesting rotating exhibitions too. A fun stop if youre in the area!

It has a great animals of the world exhibit. Also has pioneer things and artwork. Would love to see some new exhibits though

The North Eastern Nevada Museum is a one of the kind museum. It has plenty of cool interesting things of the history of our town from the Spring Creek Mastadon to the railroads and gold mines; it has something for everyone. Dont forget to also see our infamous Wanamaker exibit with animals for m all over the world!

Interesting place! Lots of Nevada history and had a really neat animal exhibit with animals from all over the world. Liked the local artists work as well. I didnt get to see the entire museum though, because we ran out of time. Well be back!

Grew up visiting the museum when I was a kid, and taking my daughter, and now taking her son my grandson was a great experience

We really enjoyed this place. The people who work here are great. They took the time to give us an impromptu tour of the museum, and it was interesting to hear bits of information that we would not have known without this personal attention.

Very nice informative museum with a lot of informational sections. Since visiting just prior to closing we didnt have an opportunity to go up stairs. Enlightening to learn how early settelers lived and with what tools were used to perform every day functions many take advantage of. Recommend visiting when u have at least 2 hours to enjoy without feeling rushed.

Nice collection of historical items in the Elko area. I enjoyed the two gun collections, and the displays and descriptions of moving the railroad out of the center of Elko. I also enjoyed the artwork on the 2nd floor of the museum. I was appalled by the stuffed animal exhibit. It is my understanding that this exhibit was done on behalf of a wealthy donor whose donation stipulated that the donors animal collection be included as part of the museum. I find it repulsive and disgusting that someone killed all of these wild animals just to have them stuffed and mounted as trophies. I would have given the overall museum a much better rating if not for this exhibit.

Awesome place, great animal display taxidermy at its best

Awesome animal collectionPrice was good. The museum part had a lot of history to look at. Well displayed

Loved visiting this museum. It had some really awesome stuff and. Huge variety stuffed animals. I highly suggest you check it out.

If you truly want to learn more about a place, visit their museum. This one is excellent for learning about Elko.

Awesome place to visit!

We were in town on Easter Sunday and planned on going as the sign on the door said they were open Sundays from 1 to 5. It also stated that the only holidays they were closed for was Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. We waited around until 1:15 and they were not open. I just feel like they could have posted that they were going to be closed for Easter. We missed other opportunities to see this museum because they didnt even have common courtesy to post their holiday closing. I would not recommend this for any business.

I loved it history is one of my favorite things to learn about and this place would be great to learn about different animals and history

It is a great place with lots of accurate animals. I recommend anyone to go there and hopefully if you do go there the staff is very friendly everyone is very nice and gift shop has interesting stuff. We got free passes so we can go in for free. I recommend getting the fast that allows you to get in for free it helped me online animals I thought their animals were very fascinating so did my family members did too. And I recommend you go there too

Nice exhibition.

I dont know Batman my wife think they charge too much to get in to view it and theres homeless people living in the park behind it but we went in and it was worth it its beautiful inside and they have free stuff you can see around the museum in the park

Nice and clean inside, VERY PLEASANT STAFF, THIS LEVEL 6 GOOGLE GUIDE RECOMMENDS.

Its small but cozy. Well ventilated and good for family. The taxidermied animals are set up in a friendly way as to not scare children unlike some. They recently updated their mine section. And if you go often they have a GREAT yearly family rate that comes with quarterly news letters. Front desk is friendly and they have a fun shop with jewellery, educational but fun books and activities and yummy snacks and small food things. And local artists stuff for sell too!

Loved it! A lot to see. I would definitely recommend going.

This is a favorite stop when passing through Elko. A surprise to find a natural history museum besides the mining museum. Lots of history on this route.

This building is absolutely stunning to look at. I fell in love with it from the first time I seen it. I go to the adjacent park often and take pictures. And if your a pokemon go player, there are many stops here and throughout the park.

Great museum for some NV history.

Fabulous. A great find. So beautifully displayed.

This museum is amazing ! Fun and friendly staff! A must see!

The museum had its hours posted on the front window, and said it would be closed Mondays, New Years Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We planned to go on Easter Sunday, as it says nothing of it being closed. When we arrived the place was closed with no postings or anything. We missed celebrations in our home town as a result of waiting till 1 for the museum to open. Complete lack of consideration for others. Fix this.

Great exhibits, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Love this place.

Love this place!! I miss the basement exhibits though. Shame they are not coming back.

Love the museum it always has wonderful exhibits and a great history for the town

Nice exhibits, very eclectic, but an interesting collection of information about Nevada and its history.

Nice museum,we went to elko for Basque days and went to the museum in some down time... Glad we did

Its always so clean and neat and just awesome ambiance

Great place to see history of the area

Felt it was expensive for what it is. If you like taxidermy you will love this place! They also have a bunch of late 1800s-1900s firearms on display. The gift shop was cluttered but had typical fare. Kids got bored after 20 minutes.

Great way to spend the the afternoon. They also give veteran discounts.

I love taxidermy

This museum is a local treasure. It has one of the best animal exhibits I have seen. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Great weapons collection. Local history included photos with Interesting descriptions.

Love the story about the cattle rustler and his unique shoes!

Very very good

Nice museum. One whole wing dedicated to mining and Nevada life, another wing had numerous stuffed animals. Some people might find that part distasteful, but it might be the only place where a child might see actual animals up close, like lions, tigers, bears, deer, sheep, moose, animals from all over the world.

Very nice, educational especially loved the animal exhibits.. The gift shop was nice too.

Not pricey, various cultural/ historical stuff. Plan 1.5 hours. Better museum of many seen.

Extensive worldwide animal exhibit. Many rare firearms. Some history and geology. Great western art collection. Well laid out. $8!

Amazing taxidermy wing

An unexpected find, this museum costed $8 for an adult and took us several hours to get through. There is one big hall fall of taxidermied animals, and another full of local history. Upstairs is an art gallery, and there was also a quilt display outside the shop. Worth a visit if youre in Elko.

Lady very pleasant

I LOVE the museum! There are several mounted animals that are local to our area. Art, guns, rocks, minerals, historical garments etc...

Interesting displays. Nice setup and people

The museum has some very interesting information about the Elko area history. They also have an animal section and local artwork.

Great place to spend an afternoon. Good for adults and children. Really interesting gift shop.

A hidden gem. Beautiful art and amazing local artifacts. Wildlife display has incredible variety and I was able to stand close enough to specimens to get a real sense of comparative size-a true perspective

Nice place to visit !

Local artists postcards. Sometimes shows work by local artists.My blog: Wahnfried der Nomad

Great place to visit, the animal exhibit is great for kids to view. Lots of artifacts on the other side of the museum to see and lots to read about them as well. Not very large so need to walk around a huge amount.

Best gun collection ever

A smaller, but very well-curated museum. They have art, taxidermy and history!

Love it might not be big but it works

Taxidermy is fantastic and the rest is excellent too A top local museum

Nice place to get the feel for the city and state.

The best museum I have been to hands down!

Cool gift shop. The taxidermy is creepy. Dead polar bears and other endangered species.

Great history and geology

Variety of local topics. Enjoyed it. Hey, even learned some things.

Really cool displayed animals a must see!

Great museum. Make sure if they have discounts because there is an admission fee.

Great place to visit in Elko Nevada

Excellent local museum! Very wide-ranging collection.

Looks like they are remodeling, but it is neat and informative.

The animals are the most important part of the part of the museum

Have not been here

Loved it. Cost a little high

Great museum in an unexpected place. Large historic firearm collection, cowboy art and taxidermy collection.

If youre in the area make it a point to stop by and check this place out.

A nice place with lots of displays

Was closed when we came through town. Maybe next time, would love to look around.

The bar is better but still fun C

Loved all the animals and the staff was nice

My toddler loves the animal exibit
