You could stay there all day if you are really into it. There are so many great things to see and do. There are four museum galleries tracing the state's rich history from its earliest geologic formation 600 million years ago. There is a great play area for kids, they have a simulated tractor that is good for the young and the young at heart. I would say an average stay is around 2 hours, lots of people make it a half day excursions and others stay for an hour, just to get a feel for it. Everyone that goes loves that they had a chance to see it.
