Cross Orchards has a fabulous farmers market Wednesdays and Saturdays in the morning. Its a real farmers market with local produce stands. The Cross Orchard museum is nice for kids, its small and focuses on the history of agriculture in the area.

It was a great Girl Scouts experience picking apples

Wonderful way to start off the year with a field trip back in time. The whole group enjoyed themselves and the knowledge they now have about 1800s- way of life.

Nice place. Great victory garden. Good place to learn and take a stroll

EVERY visit is like a journey through time! We love all the museums in town but we have the most fun at this Museum! The Tower is a great treat and the views are good 360*. The school room, the plane and the stage coach are always the favorites!

Super cool place. Tons of old and historical equipment, vehicles, and buildings

Farmers market is nice, a bit pricy, but very fresh produce. Buy the Green River melons!

Had a great time, first timer, our grandson loved the train exhibit, thank you for giving us a chance to see them working

So much fun and a unique educational experience

Farmers market day. Happy to find peaches

Fabulous Farmers Market. Great people. Really look around, then go shop. Prices vary. But cant go wrong plus your helping out local farmers. A win/win!

The website States they close at 4 but when we pulled in at 2:45 they said they closed at 3 but still wanted to charge us $10 to get in. Informed the man at the front that their website says 4. He said thanks Ill take it into consideration. we ended up leaving because they wouldnt let the kids walk around for the last 15 minutes even though we drove all the way down there and their website says 4

Fun place with great staff

This is a delightful place and so real. I loved the old history and story they tell here plus they have added some beautiful gardens to the whole area, kids playing area talking about water conservation and consumption and more! What a fun educational place!

Fun to see what life was like back in the old days

Great living farming and history museum! Lots of neat stuff but their events are the best part and the best time to go, especially Fall Day on the Farm.

A charming little historic spot. I have always had fun here.

Interesting place to visit with great history

Great history and fun for the kids.

Great place! Kids loved it. Loved the train ride and the included scavenger hunt, the real train cars, and the model train villages. People and place are spectacular!

Christmas train show. Lots of new exhibits, new track & even an outdoor track. Very fun!

Our family loves visiting Cross orchards. They have the original buildings from when it was a huge orchard with packing sheds etc. Bunk houses where one of the curators bakes cookies on the original wood stove. The curators are very informed and make your visit fun and educational. There are still some apple trees on the property and they hand squeeze fresh cider. Theres even a black smith occasionally making horse shoes etc.

Im looking forward to breaking in my new membership card!

Pretty cool old train equipment. Great farmers market

As far as museums go it is small, but it is packed with great historical information. Grand Junction is an interesting area and this museum is filled with exhibits. The staff here is also amazing. On a whim my wife asked a research upstairs if she happened to know if she could find any information on her family - it turned out the researcher had land deeds and even more that once belonged to my wifes great grandparents. If you are a resident here this place is a must see. Its kid friendly, and has a small gift shop as well.

As far as Museums go, this is not a highly curated experience. If informational signage is something you require, you will probably be disappointed with a good deal of this facility. That said, there are some informational plaques, and the grounds and buildings are positively full of interesting equipment and artifacts from a bygone era. I had a great time just touring around and visually examining everything, especially the extensive collection of antique farming equipment. Definitely worth a visit, but it would be nice if they could get the funding to spruce up some of the exhibits, and get all of those cool old tractors out of the elements and into a proper building.

Very nice spot. They host weddings and other events. Much more than meets the eye from the road.

Interesting exhibition..

Stopped in to get info on the dinosaur trails that the museum manages, the staff was very friendly and helpful!

One of the many great options across the Western Slope to immerse yourself in Colorado history. Much needed when my family and I relocated from Oklahoma. Lifelong Coloradans should also see what they may be missing out on!

Short visit. Not a lot to see but interesting how they helped develop the fruit industry thereNever did see any park representative.

My friends went for the farmers market while I explored the museum portion. Both were amazing and everyone was extremely friendly. All the items with peaches in them tasted fantastic.

Great place to see old equipment and building. In need if more money to get projects done. But it is a very nice museum.

Ive never been there. I go to the residence next door. Stop asking.

Excellent modle train layout both inside and outside track

Cross Farms was great, much more to it than we thought. Worth an afternoon to check it out. Cant wait for the farmers market there this summer!

We thought this place was wonderful. The staff was great, friendly, knowledgeable. All volunteers in period dress. You can go through at your pace. Look at antiques and explore the buildings and talk to the staff. You can breeze it all in an hour but could linger for 3 or more.

I love this place i used to go as a kid and a teen. And i have awesome memories..

Great Farmers Market!

The model trains are very detailed but you cant see much of them. Its a nice old time experience just not very big.

Friendly atmosphere. Guides are full of information

I remember this place from my childhood. Its so fun to be able to take my son.

Its always fun to see what they have on exhibit and what has changed

Amazing displays. Really cool for kiddos.

A lot of neat history here!

Small but interactive and fun. Kids love it.
