How we rateOtero Museum in La Junta gives kids a chance to explore historic exhibits on a guided tour and press a button to sound an 1897 steam locomotive whistle. For a birthday outing, allow one to two hours for the tour and consider whether your group will enjoy that much guided exploration. Children 12 and under enter free with an adult. Call the museum to discuss a group visit before making plans.

Our take
3/5Sounding an 1897 steam locomotive whistle gives a history birthday outing at Otero Museum a memorable focal point. The button-operated whistle adds something children can do during a visit otherwise centered on guided historic exhibits. This La Junta option makes most sense for a group that enjoys listening, asking questions and following a tour.
Allow one to two hours for the guided visit. Children 12 and under enter free with an adult; adults and children over 12 pay $5. The regular season runs June through September on weekday afternoons, so a birthday visit needs to fit that limited calendar.
