What families say

Families rave about the guided tours here—guides like Nicholas are described as knowledgeable and engaging, so it's worth timing your visit around one rather than just doing the self-guided brochure option. Kids can touch most items in the fort (except weapons and metal), and there's a giant statue of Seaman, Lewis's dog, that's a fun photo stop, plus a scenic riverside setting. Note that admission is bundled with the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center (around $10/adult), and you'll need to grab a wristband there before heading out to the fort itself; one reviewer mentioned the fort structure looked a bit worn but noted repairs were underway.

Ages 7–18
