Current Exhibits

The exhibits at the John Deere Pavilion have captivated guests of all ages. From our antique tractors and giant combines to our interactive, touch-screen displays and feature films, you will find a variety of entertainment opportunities, each with a strong educational twist.

The antique and modern equipment changes often and computer exhibits are updated or replaced entirely to provide guests with ever-changing experience.

Interactive Exhibits Currently on Display:

• Kid's Corner (opening April 25): Designed to teach the youngest guests about the world of agriculture, offering fun and interactive opportunities to make children's visits more special. The exhibit features a seed table displaying a variety of seeds grown globally, a machine shed where All About John Deere videos are shown, two stations for photo opportunities featuring a tractor and vegetables and a six-foot row of corn so children can see what corn looks like up close. A craft area offers an opportunity for children to color pictures and tell their own John Deere stories and their work can be displayed on a specially-designed barbed wire fence.
