Great place to learn about the past, present, and future of John Deere! Static and interactive displays are very well-presented. Very educational, helpful staff on hand to answer questions. Lots of photo opportunities for families on the equipment. The gift store next door is very well merchandised--not a run of the mill museum shop. This is a real gem in Moline!
My Father, Lynn E. Webster was a tank inspector back in 1950-late 1960s. If his name was not on the "tag" to ship to war, it was not sent. So proud of him.
Self guided tours of display equipment and exhibits.
A great place to see old and new tractors. Also the story of the company the staff was very informative and helpful
Such a blast for our 2 1/2 year old! The staff are so helpful, too
My boys love this place & the staff members are super nice!
Great for kids and adults love this place and its free
Very interesting to see some of John Deere's products. You can climb in some of the larger machines and play with some training simulators.
So awesome and completely free to go too. Lots of hands on learning! Perfect homeschool experience.
Amazing attraction! I could've spent a ton of money in the gift shop!
Beautiful! Displays were interactive and educational.
Had a good time interesting kids loved sitting in the huge tractors and equiptment
Great place for children to learn about how things are really done!
Clean. Nice displays. Family friendly. Awesome gift shop.
Amazing place to stop by with small kids! My 3 year old loves it and it isn't huge so it's fun enough but he doesn't get bored.
Always a great learning experience for kids and adults
Great place! Lots to learn and see! Kids can play! It's great!
I love the free attraction that allows kids of all ages to see and sit in real Deere equipment. There are also simulators, kids areas, and lots of information to read and interact with.
Visited June 5, 2012 Deere has resently renovated pavilion, a lot of interactive things to do for kids and adults. Even if you don't think you like farm stuff you will like this. Farm and industrial equipment on displayed.
Great place for little kids. Free and usually not crowded.
Fun and fact filled experience for the family. There are some interactive simulators for people of all ages to operate machinery. Some huge farming equipment is also on display and quite overwhelming. Neat way to spend an hour or so!
Super cool for me to visit the birth place of john deere after driving the tractors in th uk in my youth bought a thshirt to take back with me :)
A great place to kill a few hours, interactive and informative. A must for any mechanical fan, and John Deere fans of course.
Awesome venue to see the history of John Deere and different types of equipment.
What a great experience for kids! My son was so happy! It was so cool that he was able to climb in to all the equipment and machinery especially since we don't have that opportunity to do this stuff at home!
Good place for little kids and overall family outing
Great place where you can see many John Deere products. You can also know history and culture of John Deere. You can buy John Deere branded stuff also. Do visit if you are in Quad cities.
Nice place. History to read. Equipment to sit in. Gift shop to visit. Simulator to play.
I had a great time at the John Deere pavillion. I enjoyed the displays and the simulators they had were a lot of fun. I wish it were a little bigger than it is, but overall it was a fun day with my husband.
Great free place to bring young kids. Lots of John Deere equipment to explore, plus antiques, modern and historical exhibits, construction vehicle simulators, and activities for all ages. Location makes it a nice outing, as you can also go for a walk by the river or visit other downtown attractions.
Perfect for the kids to run around and play on some awesome equipment. Dont forget to go to the gift shop on the other side.
you can see, touch, and even sit in the operator's seat of some of John Deere's best equipment. simulators, models, and antique equipment, this is a GREAT place to bring your family
Awesome, a must see even if you're not a John Deere fanatic.
Free admission. Plan on 1 hour.
Gift shop next door. Open 9-5, 7 days a week. 4 antique tractors, 3 simulators for 10 year olds+- to adult, 4 pieces of big newish equipment, 4 medium, 5 small. 5 play stations for 3-10 year olds +- in a kid's area. 12 minute video (sales / new market development). A few prototypes. A few signs explaining John Deere history. This is basically a "show and tell" of their equipment - not a museum. Helpful person answers questions. Store next door selling gifts (coffee cups, pens, t-shirts).
Very kind staff will answer any questions. Full of educational material and has a children's area. All are welcome to this free of charge tourist drop in.
Highly recommend, very educational! I am a John Deere enthusiast; this was a great experience for me!
Amazing experience. Fun to climb into the cab of the tractors and educational as well. My family had a great experience.
Something for everyone, here. Young and old will have a great time seeing the equipment, running the simulators, and playing with the toys. Well done, John Deere!
I have been here a number of times with my children ranging from 5 month old to 11. And this place never gets old. So much to see, sit in, buttons to press, and experiments to try. And the best part is, it is entirely free compliments of John Deere.
Loved this place good for everyone in the family, kids could learn while playing and having fun.
We really enjoyed learning the history of these amazing machines and the John Deere name. The hands on experience for the little ones is great. They could climb up into the seats of these monster machines, had a learning area, and watch a movie about working together to produce food for us. Enjoyable and glad we took the time to come here.
Fun place. Kids enjoyed the video games and sitting in the tractors. There's a small kids play area but it's pretty light on activities. Everything was free in the pavilion. The gift shop had some really cool stuff, including toys and clothes, but it is not cheap. The toys are priced very high for what I would call an outlet store.
A nice display of equipment and plus educational for children
Incredible! The staff was very friendly and willing to help with pictures or answer any questions. They were very knowledgeable of the John Deere history. This place was awesome and impressive!
Too much new stuff needs more old things kind of small for a museum
Enjoyed it tremendously. Took our 2 year old great grandson and he absolutely loved it. Staff was very cordial and knowledgeable. Facility was very clean. Presentations were excellently displayed and very easy to follow and had a good flow throughout building.
I love taking my son here, he gets to climb up onto the tractors and see the insides of these machines that are so fascinating to him. I also enjoy the history information provided. If your into history, agriculture, or if you just enjoy climbing into big tractors this place is worth a stop
Awesome....was truly touched knowing the history behind those Tractors.... amazing passion ....hats off to John Deere
Nice place to stop by and see if you have time and are in town...
John Deere.........-salutes-
Its a great place to get informed on how the company has progressed. Not a bad place to stop if you are down by the Iwireless center
Another great location for a tour. Most of the staff are John Deere retired employee's. The pride and passion is felt from the minute you enter into the pavilion.
Very cool display of history and new technology. Kids will love this. Entry is free.
Very interesting exhibits and the guides are knowledgeable. The size of the pavillion ia disappointing but on the other hand there is not an entrance fee; ample parking (also free); very clean and well maintained; and, relatively easy to get to.
Kid friendly, staff helpful, very family originated!
They have been closed since March according to sign on door. They need to update web.
Actually a pretty good museum. I didn't think it would be as cool as it was.
Was disappointed. Thought it'd be bigger with more things to do. Was just first floor with a few tractors and a few things for the kids to do. I've been told need to do the factory tour instead. Has a gift shop on site with everything imaginable
Lots of stuff for adults and children to keep occupied. Will definitely go back
I visited this place during a weekend visit to Davenport as it was highly recommended by many locals. The various displays were a joy to observe. The historical corner had some cool information about how John Deere got started. The simulation corner was amazing. I really enjoyed getting to use the front loader and excavator they had pre-loaded. The outside of the building looked very impressive. Unfortunately, I had to walk all the way around the building in a light rain in order to get to the ONE door, but it was worth it. The gift shop next door was also very cool. Obviously over priced, but not as bad as I thought. The two ladies working inside were very friendly and helpful.
Very dirty since they got rid of their amazing janitors
Omg so cool. Great history of the company. Cool artifacts and huge machines. Great gift store.
