An experience you need to feel! It's a little "weird" in the elevator, but a great experience once you get all the way underground! Don't miss this once in a life time experience, unless you visit Hutchinson a lot. More

We went to the Salt Museum as part of a combo package with the Cosmosphere and Space Center. The salt museum was more interesting than I expected. You take an elevator deep underground, with about a dozen other people on the elevator with you. It is pitch black on the elevator. The first part of the salt museum explains the... More

You go underground, into a saltmine, and see what they store there. Sounds kinda so-so, but it's worth it. This is where all of the old films and Hollywood memorabilia go to die (be frozen in time). You'll get some impressive salt crystals (yawn I know), But be amazed at how big it is and how much stuff is stored... More

I didnt know what to expect. Very educational, and the train and tram rides into the quary give you a real understanding of the labor involved in working in a mine. All of the staff is courteous, so typical of Kansas. The collection of Hollywood memorabilia was unexpected and fun for the kids to see. More
