  • It was closed due to construction while google maps said it is open. Next time will call and schedule our visit. Outdoor exhibits were great though. Definitely what happened here should be thought at schools in history class.
  • A unique look into a dark point in USA history. This center is very informative and educational. We found it only an hour before closing so we need to return but definitely will return shortly. The staff is friendly and Knowledgeable.
  • Fascinating and well done. We learned a lot!
  • Quiet center with some really good historical information told from the perspective of Japanese Americans. Plenty to learn and see but not much in the way of activities for young children. Geared more towards young adult and older.
  • This interpretive center provides basic and personal information about the camp and why Japanese Americans were sent here. It describes the conditions they lived under and offers a view of how the lives of those who lived here were impacted. The displays are well done. Give yourself plenty of time to absorb all the information.
