Caterpillar Visitors Center offers a unique and engaging experience for visitors of all ages. The visit begins with a virtual ride in the bed of a massive Cat® 797F Mining Truck, giving guests a sense of the truck’s impressive size. Guests can learn about Caterpillar’s history through interactive displays that highlight the company's evolution over nearly 100 years, including comparisons between historic and modern equipment. The center features a well-designed mix of hands-on activities, such as climbing on equipment and testing skills on simulators that mimic real machine operation—some developed for actual training. Visitors can explore the display area at their own pace, with knowledgeable staff available to answer questions and assist with group photos. The exhibits include a variety of Caterpillar products and informative videos about the company's global footprint and services. Kids and adults alike enjoy the interactive elements, with options to design their own Cat machine or practice driving equipment. Street parking is available for a small fee, and admission is affordable. Overall, the center provides an educational, fun, and memorable look into Caterpillar’s history, innovation, and machinery, making it a popular destination for those interested in heavy equipment and industrial history.
