THE EXPERIENCE

Immerse yourself in the Peoria Riverfront Museum—a world-class facility on Peoria's beautiful downtown riverfront.

Imagine high-quality entertainment and interactive exhibits that run the gamut from informative to hands-on, all within view of the majestic Illinois River. It's an exciting concept usually found only in larger metropolitan areas.

Hear fascinating true tales or make your own history in The Street, an ever‑changing Peoria regional history gallery. Explore the Illinois River, from the critters who live there too the locks and dams that control this vital waterway. Watch children learn—or act like a kid yourself—in Discovery Worlds, a two-sided, hands-on exhibit with a water feature at the center. Immerse yourself in culture as you view world-class Smithsonian exhibits and enjoy fine art and folk art from the museum's own extensive collection. Discover space in the NASA-affiliated state-of-the-art planetarium, get in the game in the high-energy Peak Performance Center, or become part of the movie experience in a giant six-story theater.
