In 1998 the city of Little Falls gave it's approval and support for the Minnesota Fishing Museum. The current collection of over 10,000 artifacts is beautifully displayed and lovingly maintained. A "log cabin" set recreates an old time fish camp at the lake. A large diorama depicts a typical spearing dark house on a frozen lake, complete with a Northern Pike moving in to be taken. Numerous displays showcase the artifacts found in many anglers' tackle boxes through the years. Motors dating back to 1902 are displayed throughout. The aquarium with live native fish is the focal point for learning and just plain relaxing. The Minnesota State record fish display inspires anglers to catch "the big one."

There’s so much to see, we could have stayed several more hours. There are displays covering every war in the history of Minnesota, and all kinds of vehicles and equipment out on the grounds. I very highly recommend this museum.

Very clean little zoo. Unexpected to see kangaroo and brown zebras in Minnesota! It was very clean and the staff was very nice. The alpacas and goats were so cute! It was not at all crowded and not too far to walk. They had strollers, wagons and walkers available to use at no charge. It was very inexpensive and there was shade available as well as convenient seating. I was especially surprised to see an albino peacock and hen! The children enjoyed the visit. The artic wolf howled along while the city siren sounded. It only took about 90 minutes, taking our time.

We were here mid-July, and the mosquitoes weren't bad. We were impressed with the cleanliness in the shower house. The campsites were wooded, giving privacy. The campground is fairly compact; it would be difficult to maneuver large units here (ex. My other half, a professional driver, says a 30-foot 5th-wheel is doable, but a 30 foot bumper hitch would be extremely tight).
