One of the best “Earth Moving” equipment that I’ve experienced. By contrast I’ve visited the John Deere Visitors Center in nearby Quad Cities and there’s no comparison if your are a youngster or a youngster at heart. The CAT experience includes a faux ride in the dump of the biggest hauler of them all comparable to a Disney theme park ride. On occasion visitors can make arrangements to visit the nearby Cat Proving grounds.

Highlighting Caterpillar, an International Industrial Giant
Great introduction to the Caterpillar history, research and development beginning in San Leandro California with the Holt and Best Tractor companies through the current international heavy equipment providing electrical generation, railroad locomotives, construction equipment, etc. There are interactive activities reflecting use of equipment as well as scientific details leading to the current products, some appropriate for children with an interest in technology, engineering, science, math (STEM). Though obviously a place for the company to highlight itself, it also provides good understanding of the evolution of the various facets of Cat's world. Easy access near the Peoria Riverfront.
