The Judy Garland and Children's Discovery Museums are two museums on one convenient campus! The Judy side of the museum is dedicated to telling the story of the talented Judy Garland's life and legacy. She was born in Grand Rapids, Minnesota on 10 June 1922.

Her birthplace home is on the property to tour, as well as a gallery full of artifacts from her life and from the beloved Wizard of Oz, including the original carriage and a test dress from the movie. This is also the museum where the ruby slippers were stolen from in 2005!

You can follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Children's Discovery Museum. This space is designed for parents to interact and experience exhibits with their children so they can help spark curiosity and exploration.

Some of the highlights include Treesa the talking tree, a water table with working reservoir, the LiteZilla lighting exhibit, the Toddler Transportation station, and Lake Life adventure zone. There's also a nice outdoor garden area to enjoy a nice picnic.

Please show your smartphone ticket at the front desk for access to both museums.
