It is always a nice and educational experience everytime I go. You are guaranteed to have a fun filled time during your visit. This is the ideal place for a family outing. The employees are always friendly and helpful throughout my walk through of the museum. There is a train ride on a 1917 steam train that is a great experience for both children and adults. The cute country store located at the entrance has a nice selection of home decor, clothing, candy, toys etc as well as hand dipped ice cream, hot and cold coffees and pastries.

The review is solely based off of the gift shop and playground. The playground is great. My toddlers loved it. The customer service in the shop was horrible. There were three young girls working today. I'm not sure if they were having some issues with each other or something else. They were extremely unwelcoming when I asked if I playground was open and acted like we were an in inconvenience. My toddlers and I brought up the toys that other people had played with and left out, we did not use. I told the 3 young girls that the wheel was off of one of toys we brought up and they just stared at me. The tone and demeanor was very unwelcoming and uncomfortable.

The people here are so very sweet. They are ready to answer any questions you may have. We even got to go see the train while it wasn't running. Of course they can't help the heat but they sure do make plenty of places to get cooled off. I also recommend there pound cake.

Truly an incredible experience, and this comes from a museum professional who travels to museums all over the world. I highly recommend visiting here whether you have kids or you're an adult traveling alone. The steam train is so much fun. All the interpreters were so kind and knowledgable. We went with the plan of spending about two hours, but left when the museum closed and still hadn't seen everything because we were enjoying taking our time with all the sites.

The historical artifacts are fantastic and the docents are knowledgeable. This is a great place to explore the history of the area, from multiple perspectives.
Minus one star for:
Hours of operation said 'until 4pm;' however, when we walked into the ice cream parlor at 3.45p, the ladies working the counter were already counting out the cash drawer and told me as I walked in that they'd already stopped serving.
Minus another star for:
We walked immediately to the Tift house (near the main entrance), but it was completely locked up before 3.50pm, so no chance to see any of it.
Overall, the site and the artifact collection is great, but the less-than-accommodating staff and the earlier-than-posted closing time left much to be desired. Please do better.

Excellent service. Being elderly, they offered us wheelchair service. Gave me a phone number in case we got overly tired. They would come and pick us up. My friend is 80+. Quite independent. We had root beer floated. She sparkled like a Christmas tree. She said she had not had one in over 50 years. She reminisced the whole time. I am very thankful to the workers . Great Job. Thank you for the happiness you brought today.

Wow! We happened upon this place by sheer luck. We were just looking for a place to spend the night during our drive down to Florida and stopped over in Tifton. I looked up places to take the kids and so glad we decided to enter this blast from the past. Everyone was so friendly and wonderful. Randy in the woodworking shop went above and beyond to make the day even more special for the kids. The steam powered train is such a cool experience. Definitely will be stopping by here next time we are traveling down I-75. Thank you to everyone at the village, country store and museum.

We visited the Georgia Museum of Agriculture (which is linked through the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, if you see the ABAC logo and are curious what it means like I was), this is a fun museum that we took with our toddler.
When you initially arrive at the country store, there are signs for the peanut museum (it has been removed so it’s just confusing signage), and you can purchase your admission that comes with a train ride (train is only operates on Saturdays). You purchase your tickets from the country store but once the train arrives, it takes you to the middle of the area and you can walk around and see what the agricultural industry was like in the early 1900’s. All of the staff we encountered were so friendly, and it was a lot of walking but it made for a great day especially for our toddler who loved the swing set area and the train ride.
There is a souvenir shop that appeared to have snacks near the Feed and Seed spot, and inside the Country Store, there’s an ice cream shop. Overall, a different experience but thankful it was not too warm today!

Although they tell you they close at 5, they do not. The store stays open but the museum closes at 4 and the last train ride is 3:45. Many of the houses were Closed and did not have any staff. I was told by another Staff member that many of the other houses close in the afternoon in preparation of closing.You pay the same ticket price if you get there at 9 am when they open or if you get there at 3.One sign we found afterwards says they close at 3. Another says 5pm…I wouldn’t have paid for tickets for just an hour at the museum. Maybe it’s better in the mornings when the Staff aren’t ready to leave.

This place was great. I really wish they had all their people out there who volunteer. Thank you so much for volunteers. They do a really great job. I learned a lot of interesting things that I didn't know. Again, really great place and double check before you go out there to make sure that everybody's going to be up and running before you go because it's a disappointment if there's people not there to show you. Sorry. Thanks!
