Phase two of the renovations at the Family Museum in Bettendorf are complete. It's called Fox Hollow and includes things like a town square and farm exhibit. It's all part of an overall $1.3 million makeover that opens to the public this weekend. Some very special guests got give it a test run ahead of time Friday

"I'm having totally fun. It's so cool with the new exhibit,"

Payton Nagle said. "I got across the bridge and then I slide down."

Along with the slide the fun includes a pizza parlor, market, and a veterinary clinic. The third and final phase will be done this spring and the theme is under wraps for now. The project is funded through grants, a capital fund from Bettendorf, and private donations.
