The Doug Oberhelman Caterpillar Visitors Center
THE CATERPILLAR VISITORS CENTER WILL BE CLOSED ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 6.
WE WILL REOPEN AT 10 AM ON AUGUST 7.
Visit Caterpillar in Peoria, Illinois!
This isn't your average museum! Your visit begins with a virtual ride in the bed of a massive two-and-a-half story Cat 797F Mining Truck. Learn how Caterpillar's story began as two companies came together to build Caterpillar on the foundation of innovation and customer focus. Unleash your inner engineer as you design your very own Cat machine. Test your skills on a simulator to see first-hand what it's like to operate equipment the way our operators do, and no visit is complete without climbing in a track-type tractor.
