Very small museum with not much in it, and way over priced. Beware of the Indian village structures look ready to fall over. I left felling like I wasted $16 and a lone drive.
A decent place to take your 5-10 year old to
Great place for younger kids to experience life of American Indians and try out their tools.
We had such an amazing time at IAIS! We had traveled to so many colonial historical spots in East Coast and felt that there was this void in our experience in terms of learning about the native people, their history, and their communities today. IAIS provided just that and more. Darlene was so engaging and informative, she truly made our experience!! We highly recommend supporting and visiting IAIS when visiting the area/East Coast! PS. We were towing a 25' travel trailer and parked in their bus parking area in which we were able to turn around in, however, it wasn't terribly busy and don't know if we could have done so if they had been. I'd recommend calling ahead and asking about room if you're towing! Also bring bug spray if you're walking their trail.
Great little museum with a small gift shop. The galleries are wells setup and very informative. Most information focuses on the local natives. There is a nature trail marked by the yellow paint on the trees that leads to a replica village.
