John Deere headquarters Moline, IL

How much is the admission? Do you have to make reservations to go on the tour? Are their special times during the day they start the tours at? Good nearby place to eat at? I'm looking forward to go with my Dad, to the John Deere facility. This would be a fun father and son trip. Neither of us have been there before. Yes my parents do own a John Deere 310 riding mower.

Headquarters and factory tours are all free.
Factory tours do require reservations well in advance.
Make sure to visit the pavilion while you're there.
We went last fall, very nice trip. You can contact them via
phone or email, details on their website here: John Deere

Cool thank you. I'll have to get merchandise there as well.

They dont build anything there its just a museum tractors are built in Waterloo and road stuff in Dubuque lots built overseas. Better deals on ebay ect for toys and stuff.

Mostly right Gene, but the combine factory (harvester works) is in East Moline.
We went to all the close ones, harvester work in East Moline,
engine works and tractor works in Waterloo, IA.
All are free, but as I said reservations are required and yes they
start on a time schedule.

We got into the early ones in Waterloo on a Thursday, drove to
Moline Thursday night and toured harvester works on Friday morning.

Between the Pavilion and harvester works, on the street along the
river is a gift shop and paddle boat tour of the Mississippi river.
The gift shop is, well, a gift shop. But the paddle boat tour was full
of history lessons about the Mississippi, Rock Island Arsenal, etc.

Best place I ate while there was an old barn turned into a restaurant,
next to the toy museum in Dyersville.

Don't miss the worlds biggest truck stop and museum if you go past either!

I posted almost exactly your question before I went.
There is a very nice guy on here that works for JD at the planter factory?
He really helped me out getting in contact with the tour schedulers.
For the life of me I cannot think of his forum handle right now.
If you search the archives I'm sure it'll turn up.
