9 admission. Plan on 45 minutes to 4 hours. Average visit was 1 hour. The visitor center / museum is the only building you can enter. It has many high quality interpretive signs/ displays and a 15 minute film. I read every word on the museum displays, drove 1/3 mile to the flag and interpretive path (gravel lot, paved path: 20 minutes), then walked 1/4 mile down the gravel road to the 3 remaining structures chimney, and spent 30 minutes walking around them.

Today, the Twins, decided it was high time to find out what Heart Mountain Interpretive center was all about. As we parked and entered the Center, we were greeted by a guide who gave us information regarding the Center and what we would be seeing. We watched an old movie that gave insight on what had taken place all those many years ago. As i left the theater, my heart felt heavy that a President, who should have been protecting these 'Americans' rights, chose instead to do just the opposite and destroyed many lives in the process. Much information is contained in the Center and, at a cost of just 7 (senior), you can learn a great deal through murals, short movies, as well as talking to the staff. The most interesting part of the day was standing between a couple of worn down barracks, and walking the worn trails so as to get pictures of the hospital, a guard tower and get a feel of a part of history that I pray never happens again! **Highly Recommend
Very eye opening. Our government was just as bad go some of our own people, glad they saw the light and after the fact tried to give them back some of what they lost. May none of our people be treated that way again.
Wow. A powerful experience. The exhibits handle the topic of internment camps in the US very well. I would highly recommend making this a stop on your trip.
This interpretive center provides basic and personal information about the camp and why Japanese Americans were sent here. It describes the conditions they lived under and offers a view of how the lives of those who lived here were impacted. The displays are well done. Give yourself plenty of time to absorb all the information.
This museum does a very good job of detailing the experience of the internment of Japanese- Americans during World War II, as well how difficult it was for many to put their lives back after their experience. You can take a drive up the nearby hill after the museum to take a short walking tour to view where they actually lived, but only remnants of original buildings remain. I highly recommend this museum to anyone passing through this part of Wyoming.
An interactive tour of a World War II Japanese interment settlement. It's a sobering look at what was done to Japanese people!! Some of the displays were disabled and I was disappointed. But the displays as a whole were very nice. We took between 1 1/2 to 2 hours there. I highly recommend this site!! I'd like to go again!
One event in history as told from two different view points. The last time I was here it was only one view point. Great job expanding the site.
