The Shoe House is a museum now, and great for older kids to learn how life was a long while ago. Not so great for younger kids, as there is no touching, sitting on the furniture in the museum area and no photography inside. There is room outside to picnic. IceCream is available in the "basement" portion of the heel. Parking is limited if you have a large group. They do not accept credit cards, cash only. And there are no public restrooms.
