Walt Disney Hometown Museum — Attraction in Marceline

I landed in the area of the Walt Disney Hometown Museum and wanted to experience it. I came seeking history and that’s definitely what I got.

The entire area surrounding the building was welcoming. I was impressed right away! I came here with my significant other and her service dog. I paid Admission for Adults • $10.00 and that was a great price in my opinion.

During my visit, I learned a lot about Walt Disney and his family. He definitely had a productive childhood. The information and history kept flowing throughout my time here.

My favorite part was the stairs leading up to the second floor with words from Walt Disney. I feel that was a unique feature that they had.

Before we exited the building, we looked at what they had for sale near the entrance. I ended up getting a Pen for $3.50. It was a reasonable price.

They had the Rush Johnson Memorial Garden outside of the building. I walked around it before I left. It was cool to check out.

The customer service was good. I didn’t have any issues.

Overall, it was an amazing experience, especially for the price it was. I’m glad I went and I might even go back again someday.
