Absolutely worth it. And the young man who gives the tour was absolutely amazing. Hes smart, can play the piano and boy can he sing. Definitely a fun experience

Great replica if an important trading fort along the Oregon Trail. Fort Hall replica (Pocatello, Idaho). The fort served as a fur trading post and as a stop in the Oregon trail. Between 1842 and 1852 an estimated 200,000 persons passed by the fort - by far the majority of them missionaries and settlers going to the promised land. Once wagons were lined up from Fort Laramie, a 500 mile traffic jam. Many wouldnt have made it were it not for the fort. The blacksmith shop fixed the carriages. The Hudson Bay (fur trading) Company sold clothing, provisions, ammunition, replacement cattle and horses, and other equipment to the travelers. The fort was never attacked by indians. The place also had a history museum of the area

Cool replica of this important stop on the Oregon Trail. The museum and fort replica are $4 to enter both. Interesting history and stuff.

It gives the visitor an idea of how the early people lived, the museum has a variety of displays including a dentist office and several other types of rooms you might encounter in the past. I found it to be interesting and informative.

If you like historical fun for you (and your kids if you have them), this is one of the best places! It’s very open and a great place to shake wiggles out whilst also learning awesome Idaho history. My favorite part is the outdoor replica, always fun to picture yourself living in olden times, and I was also amazed at the indoor collection. The price is very reasonable (inexpensive) and they also have cheap and fun souvenirs—very refreshing, considering you’d pay a lot more for a lesser experience in a more urban setting. I also found out you can rent the whole facility for a VERY reasonable price/day. If I had known that a few years ago I might’ve considered having my wedding reception there. It would be awesome for a fiber arts festival or the like as well. Makes my want to organize something!!

Interesting Fort and interesting reconstruction of some historical buildings of an ancient village. Do not expect to see a fort where white people defended themselves against indians: it is the reconstruction a stop in the journey westward.Do not forget the museum: you would not think that you might like it, but you will!

Fun to look at all the history! Although you can only look in the windows of the replica. At the fort Thats just a walk down you can go inside every room. I had fun not very busy either!

The Fort Hall replica was pretty cool. You get to walk around with a tour guide who explains how life was back then you get to see their rooms and where they slept you get to see the tools that they used the tour guy does a pretty good job explaining the tools you also get to see the teepees and the really cool thing I thought about it was the fact that she can see out all the walls were and how big the area was inside there I want to say was really big for Fort but back then I guess that was pretty big when I went it was pretty slow I think there was two other people there so its a pretty small group people that go to that place the entry to pay a little bit to get in but I thought I was worth it cuz it wasnt too pricey. They also have a Museum there that you can go around and look its not big its pretty cluttered inside they are still pretty cool to walk around I expect you to pay attention to the dentist area and that would really suck to get your teeth worked on with that kind of equipment back then. If you do go we went with very hot day make sure you bring water with you.

The fort hall replica is probably only worth the trip once if youve never been before. It has enough to see and do to keep you and kids busy for an hour or so. There is a nominal admission fee ($2-$4 depending on age).Its certainly unique enough to give it a shot, especially if youre not familiar with Idaho/Bannock history.
