I would check their website for hours and fees. Currently, their winter hours (through March 2020) are limited to only being open on Wednesdays and admission is $15.00 for adults, $13.00 for seniors and college students. I don’t know what their hours and rates will starting in April.
I don’t know - but this museum is fascinating and worth the full price of entry. Be sure to see the village set up and hear the commentary on each exhibit of life in times gone by

I am thinking of the museum as a group destination for our Hadassah women's group. We would like to come off season with about 15 -20 women. We would need a guided tour and lunch and information on transportation if you have any. I was thinking of the charity bus from the casino... Do you think this would be of interest to us?
A:
If your group is interested in learning about other cultures, I think this is definitely of interest to you. It's a wonderful museum and you learn a great deal about Native people.
