Great time! Was nice getting a ride to the battlefield. Reenactors were smiling throughout and made it a fun experience. Loved seeing the vehicles and encampments. Food options were great as well.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
Nice little museum & village of local history including industrialization, manufacturing, immigration, transportation and of course the Rockford Peaches. Honestly I wish they had more of a dedicated exhibit for the Peaches.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
The Midway Village Museum is a must-see when exploring Rockford, IL. My husband and I had less than 30 minutes to walk through the museum on an early-July Friday afternoon. We paid $9 for each of our tickets and hustled through the museum to see as much of it as we could. The main attraction we visited was the exhibit on the AAGPBL. It was smaller than expected, but the artifacts were well worth seeing- trophies won by the Rockford Peaches, baseballs and their size change throughout the length of the league, uniforms, and souvenirs collected through the decades. The museum is probably one of the best I've seen in a small town. There were so many exhibits and so much to be learned about the city of Rockford. We learned that the sock monkey originated here and also how significant of an industry-leader the city was back in its day. I hope to return one day and take our time walking through and learning about the rich history of Rockford. The children's town was AWESOME! We could have spent much more time in there as well. If kids learn more effectively with engaging exhibits, so do adults. The space was clean, staff professional and helpful, and they even have a full giftshop.
Amazing museum-with so many wonderful exhibits. Their old homes and village are interesting for adults and children. We have been coming here for years. The grounds are beautiful. The guides are knowledgeable and make the tour fun. Too big to get through in a day. What a treasure!!! Donations accepted during the week---the weekend I'm not sure of the price.
There are exhibits you can visit year round and in the summer this place turns into a live history museum. Great place. Check their website for current events.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
We LOVE Midway Village! An amazing place in Rockford to share our city’s history and history in general! World War II days is THE BEST! I highly recommend you find and event and mark it on your calendar to attend!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10
I have tons of video, but few photos....as they do not do it justice. I have been coming to this for almost 15 years now. My son and I enjoy this outing every year...without fail. The new "Skirmish" was AWESOME! If you missed it, you missed a good close up show. My ONLY wish is that the big guns used a little more BOOM for effect. I understand it is safety 1st! Excellent show with the gals singing and dancing. I mean, what else could you ask for. The ONLY complaint is the need for better organization with food lines. They get too long too fast. Get more vendors in there to lesson the load on wait times.
Amazing museum. Looks small on the outside but is huge on the inside. A great place to learn about local history. The WWII event was beyond words. The living village and volunteers are all top notch. Will visit more often and will definitely watch for future events.
The staff is always friendly and very helpful. The events are professionally organized and executed. Village is well laid out along with woods and main battle area. I always have great time as a reenactor or as part of public. Thank you for putting on events such as WWII days I really enjoyed it as I seen other people enjoying there time.
The tour was an amazing learning experience! Its pretty cool to learn about the way they used to live in the 1800s I recommend this place just make sure to arrive on time for the tour!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$1–5
