If you love the oilfield and love talking about the history of it, this is definitely a place you need to check out! Plan to spend about 1-3 hours here if youre wanting to check out every little thing and read into the history that is posted everywhere.Staff is always there to help if you have any questions about the tour.

Wonderful museum. My daughter keeps asking when we can go back. Loved it. It has something for everyone. The fact feel to the history buff. And the inner child in us all.

Its was pretty cool here! Even my 2.5year old enjoyed it!

Very nice place. Love knowing the history of Kansas

Nice place. It is close to the turnpike with good signage taking you there. The museum is very interesting and laid out very nicely. There is also a park on the grounds for a picnic lunch or to just stretch your legs on a long trip.

Enjoyed the WW2 battle reinactment.

Stopped our car in the shade to eat lunch. Entertained nicely by ducks, geese, robins, and other wild life while we rested

Alwayd super friendly and always have amazing activities through out the year for the kids

This is a hidden gem. For you history buffs, this is a very well presented and expansive museum. Theres more here than you might expect. Also the facility is very good as a meeting space. A very friendly and accommodating group.

Awesome little place.

Interesting collection of history . Very educational .

Very interesting as my grandfather was part of the Stapleton#1. Enjoyed seeing part of Kansas oil history!

Pretty park next door with very large shady trees, ample parking, playground, picnic tables, and a, not the greatest, working restroom.

We had a wonderful visit there with our kids and grandkids! We found it not only informative but a very.fun experience!!!

Great place staff is very knowledgeable and if they dont know something they foybd out for you and get ahold of you if it isnt during your visit

It has all the Kool oilfield stuff

Love taking my kiddos here they love it!!

We really enjoyed the museum. Dont skip the outside buildings. It was educational for my boys. They have an old school house, printing press & several other buildings.

Great kansas and Eldorado history. Wish they did more to advertise because the park and area is so beautiful.

Amazing collection very well displayed. Very interesting and informative

Actually very neat all things concidered. Was there for my daughters school grandparents program but I was actually surprised by how neat it was.

Super fun! I really wish we had allowed a lot more time for our visit.

I loved it! Very informative. My family enjoyed every inch of this museum..

Again one of the best museum S in KS.

I love this place. It has a lot of History of El Dorado and oil. Very interesting.

Great place to learn about Kansas oil history. Excellent guides and demonstrations!

Good place to see the oil field way of life!

This place is really something to see! They of course cover all the oil history, machines and people. They also have lots of stuff on Kansas history including outdoor exhibits like a one room school house. The little pond nearby is always full of geese to feed. You should check this place out and then drive up to Stapleton #1 a few miles outside El Dorado. , It was the first big oil strike that started it all here.

Had fun in one of the prop houses

Very interesting museum. I always enjoy visiting.

Fun and good food

The outside of the building is very deceiving but they actually have quite a bit to do and learn about. Hands-On things for children to learn about the Prairie, the Flint Hills, Kansas and the 1800s, oil in Kansas, in a small town to show you about early settlers.

Very cool place to learn about Kansas oil. Very kid friendly

Love to take my kids here.

I was very pleased with this museum, its as good as the one in Kilgore or better!

Awesome historical information

Awesome place to take your kids for Kansas history.

Man what a Deal. This is the Best Oil and Gas Museum in the United States and has more exhibits and real stuff than most of the Museums in Texas and the Nation.Yes there are Rotary and Cable tool Drilling Machines that date back 60 years and these all steel drilling machine stand erect to prove this existance.The Gypsy Spudder #5 was manufactured in Chanute, Kansas by Sutcliffe Pipe and Supply and is the showplace of Cable Tool Drilling in the 1940s in Eastern Kansas.Go see this Museum, look at the old Star Spudder and the late model Rotary Rig on the Museum Grounds. Included is the Gypsy Spudder #5. You wont be disappointed and now you can see why Oil is $100 per bbl and gasoline for your car is $3.50 at least.Sincerely,Ron Sutcliffe Midland, Texas 2013. I donated the Gypsy Spudder Number 5 on the Concrete Slab in Front of the Museum in Downtown Eldorado, Kansas in 2008
