“While it’s a somewhat small art museum, it makes up for it in its location, professionalism and cleanliness. The showcase my wife and I went to showcases local artists and I was actually impressed by most of what I saw. Who knew Idaho Falls was such a hotbed for watercolor artists? But either way we enjoyed it, the cheap price for entry, and walked away happy. The outside is just a pretty as the inside and it sits close to the river, giving it a beautiful view. Will go back again someday.”

“Nice place to see rotating exhibits. Small, but doable in 45 minutes or less. Adults are $4, so worth it for the price.”

“We really enjoyed our time here. We had to get creative and get the kids more involved by asking to find their favorite color in their favorite picture in each room. We then eventually ended up in the kids art room where we spent a majority of our time. The kids had a blast with all the different types of art and crafts all over the room. The staff was very kind and helpful and she was also right there to help us turn on the lights for the art room. We will look forward to going there again. The prices are great for the fun we all had.”
