What User likes about Elgin Public Museum:
The Elgin Public Museum is a beautiful museum, in a beautiful environment, by Lords Park, with great events for the whole family!!! My children had a great time at the hunter hunt during the earth month you can not wait to go back!!! View all feedback. What Rusty W doesn't like about Elgin Public Museum:
Took our kids to story time here on a cold Saturday morning. The staff was friendly, place was warm and kids enjoyed the visit. Museum is definitely 100 years old. The building seemed more interesting than the exhibits. I realize that things like this take funding, but doesn't seem like they've updated since the 70's. We would return more often, or even do a paid membership if they offered upgraded programming. View all feedback.
