Peoria Riverfront Museum

Its galleries share a building with a dome planetarium and a giant-screen theater, making this a useful stop for visitors whose interests extend beyond a single collection.

Allow time to explore the current exhibitions as well as the permanent displays; the program changes throughout the year. Check the museum’s visitor information for show schedules and ticket arrangements before choosing a film or planetarium presentation. The riverfront setting also makes it convenient to combine an indoor visit with a downtown walk.
