We went as a small group, Everyone seem to have different highlights from milking the animated cow, to the combine simulator, to the harvest reaper and my favorites were the Talking holograms which were very informative.

My wife picked this place to go to and I was dreading it. I have no interest in agriculture whatsoever and was regretting going. Then we went and it was great.Im an old man but I liked all the hands on displays. It kept my interest up through the entire visit. Also a couple of the volunteers there were great in telling about things and answering questions. I really enjoyed the entire visit.

If your kids love tractors take them here. It is a little hot in the big building but our kids had a great time. They especially loved milking the cow

Nice place in Lubbock to know about evolution of agricultural practice in West Texas, especially cotton. Experiencing cotton stripper is an added attraction. If you are visiting Lubbock and have a half day, it is worth visiting this place.

Unbelievable collection of cotton ginning equipment and tractors. The staff is extremely knowledgeable. Try to catch Mr. John Smith there and have him walk you through the museum. His farming experience and knowledge provides a personal journey through history that cant be beat.

This was an event venue for the West Texas Pharmacy Association, for our annual Presidents Banquet & Scholarship Dinner. We love this museum! Both as a museum, and a special event venue. About the mules....they were at the end of their lives. They were not young healthy mules killed so they could be put in a museum display. the other reviewer needs to get her facts straight.

This Museum will surprise you. The vastness if equipment and disclosures are refreshing. We are in farming country but that doesnt prepare you for the high quality you will experience.

This place is so great!! I grew up going to the incredible Ford Museum in Detroit, Mi, and this place is just as cool. My little kids love it just as much as my husband and I do. Immaculately kept, so much to see, and wonderful tour guides! So worth a trip to see this place!

This place was really interesting, and I had know idea it was so well put together. I had an amazing time looking at all of the agricultural equipment from the past.Also, I give them Kudos for their section on women in agriculture.I will be back, because theres just to much to take in, in one trip.

We were in Lubbock a couple of days this summer with our 4 children. We stopped by because this looked like something our sons would get a kick out of it. I honestly was not expecting a lot. We were very impressed the moment we walked through the door. What an amazing place. Everyone we met was so kind and informative. Red just made the entire visit great. Our kids (including teenage daughter) had a great time. There is a lot of interactive displays for kids and adults of all ages. We all learned a lot about and had a great time! What a great place! Will for sure go back and recommend.

So much to see, a really great collection of all sorts of antiques related to life on a farm. From tractors to covered wagon, home, mercantile, mechanic, blacksmithing, cotton to even washing clothes while churning butter with a lamb Took three grandsons so it was controlled mayhem. Need to go back and take individually for better one on one conversation.We really enjoyed ourselves, great interactives, simulated cow milking they enjoyed most, the hand water pump and driving the Combine simulator were hits.There is a Pullman Train Car tour but our alotted time together was up so next timeIt was really cool to see the Lubbock skyline while having ice cream and listening to great music. Wonderful venue for parties and gatherings I bet.

This was a phenomenal learning opportunity about the miracle of American agriculture. Displays were easy to read, yet filled with high-yield facts about the progress made over the years via science and mechanization. The only downside -- agriscience contributions by Bayers major competitors, like Monsanto and Dow/Dupont were unmentioned. Otherwise, it was an exceptional experience, and the overall rating would have been five stars rather than four.

We took our 4-year-old there and he had a great time. Huge tractor collection indoors, and exhibits about cotton. Theres a neat harvester simulator too. One potential issue for kid visitors- many things that should be behind glass are not, so you must look out if your little one tends to grab things.

Dont check out the American Museum of Agriculture... they purchased a pair of mules and euthanized them to create a display on agriculture. What a waste, let the mules do their job and teach people in real life what American agriculture is...

Would never visit this museum and sickens me that taxpayers have probably paid for this. You all should be ashamed of yourself and vet should lose license. It doesnt surprise me at all that the Dept of Agriculture would do something so stupid.
