Reviews of Kohler Design Center (Museum)

Jennifer Vieira

I've loved this place since I was a kid. When my husband and I traveled from our home in Texas to visit friends in Wisconsin, I made sure to include a trip to Kohler Design Center in our itinerary. It was just as good as I remembered it to be since my last visit over 20 years ago. I loved looking at all of the awesome designs that Kohler has. So much fun to gather inspiration here!

Janice Weese

Really neat

L was here

Very neat palace, even if you are not building a bathroom.

Mindi Newman

Cool

Carl Utecht

Tons of ideas for home improvements. Staff is friendly and helpful

Johnny Limpet

It was a neat place to visit! They had water and free coffee/hot chocolate packets for visitors. The museum/history portion was interesting, and it was surprisingly fun to see all of the different faucets, shower heads, toilets, etc. It was kind of like a miniature IKEA. I had some fun by leaving all of the faucets to the on position on the top floor.

Marcus Zimmerman

Interesting history of a diversified American business!

Megan Marie

The little town of Kohler has so much charm is well kept and has a nice little shopping center. The design center is full of state of the art Kohler house appliances. From bathrooms, bedrooms to kitchens this is a place that will inspire you. Whether you're designing your dream home or updating your existing home you will find something you have to have! Downstairs is a nice museum full of Kohler history and the development of their products over the years. I found this place to be very interesting and full of inspiration for future home projects. Worth the stop and completely free.

Joshua Bulloch

It was amazing to see all the different inventions and design options. The museum was interesting as well!

terrence dart

A must see place for artists or anyone that loves to see new things and have cool experiences

Geoffrey Rossmann

I thought this place was really cool. The bottom floor is dedicated to the history of Kohler. You get to see the different designs from various decades and about the evolution of the company and its technologies. The second floor is dedicated to ask of the current designs available. And there are a lot of cool fixtures and appliances to look at. Something for all styles. Then the top is a giant showroom of example kitchens and bathrooms at all types. It's a very fun afternoon if you're in the area.

Jennifer Tackes

What a fun place! Whether you are going to design your kitchen, bar, spa, bath, or just to have fun.... This is a great building to visit. There were products I did not know existed. And the 2nd floor of the design center has all kinds of Room ideas. I were group got a little crazy and took weird pictures sitting in the kitchens and baths but we had a lot of fun

Jamie L

This is a great place to check out all of Kohler's designs: past, present, and future. They have great displays of kitchen and bathroom layouts to fully appreciate their designs and to get an idea of how to incorporate them into your home design. Also, check out the basement which offers a nice display of the company's history.

Very interesting, the start of the company to present. The mfg. process and the different products that been produced though the years from farm equipment, cast iron items, engines & generators to toilets & sinks. Kohler Co. made the city of Kohler to what it is today.

Tom Doebert

I really enjoy walking through the place; so many things to see. Excited about the renovations as well.

Andrew C

Absolutely stunning showroom. The bathroom vignettes will leave you wishing you lived in the showroom instead of your home. The history of Kohler on the lower floor is also incredible, and if you get to take a factory tour it will greatly enhance your appreciation of everything this brand does

Chris Shouldice

Fun wall of china

Brad Oll

Great place to get ideas,did a shower remodel and got some great ideas, and best one was the temperature shower valve worth it and a must see!

Míša

Great place to visit. Nice selection of barroom and kitchen product. And some history too.

jennifer elmore

Fun to see all the old colors of the fixtures, but the best part was in the basement where the history of Kohler products was presented. Well done and worth an hour or so. Free.

Hosseinali Sahebekhtiari

If you want to know what Kohler Co. is all about you must visit this place. It exhibits a history of the village and how Kohler Co. started. You can see the development of new products and different color on a timeline which is very fascinating. They also offer manufacturing tours on weekdays which are quite interesting experience walking through the factory. It is like an IKEA of Kitchen and Bath. They have actual size kitchens and baths that you can see the products in them. They also have a collection of artists' works that worked at Kohler plus the one and only Artist Edition products. I would definitely recommend this place.

Kurt Sytkowski

My most favorite place in the world, until now. I missed the shell bathroom with the pink sink. I also miss the Revival collection and the Rialto. Bring them back NOW!!!

Dorothy Stuart

This is basically a showroom of all things Kohler. But it is also a place to let dreams run wild from viewing the various styles of bathrooms, kitchens, etc. On the lower level is a museum dedicated to the history of the Kohler family and company.

Loring Redding

Great stop that is a must in Kohler. Make sure that you take time to see this place. Not only will you get to see the many different products that Kohler has to offer but you will also get to view the history of the company. I was very impressed with how nice the displays were kept with some of them being interactive. The history of Kohler display was very informative.

Colleen Rawson

The Kohler Design Center is an enjoyable place to visit. You get to see all the porcelain products that the cooler company makes. Many of them are put into designer rooms. great decorating ideas if you're looking to build or add a bathroom and a kitchen. There's a small Museum in the lower level that will tell you about the history of the Kohler Company and its founding family

Sharon Jaska

This is a great place to see the newest innovations in bath and kitchen items. There's also a nice little historical presentation if you are interested in knowing how the company came to be.

S H

Nice if you arrange a guided tour in advance.

William Rollins

Where else can you see a three story wall of toilets?

Steve Hanson

We are remodeling our house and this is a good place to see what Kohler has available for kitchens and bathrooms

Judy Liesch

Love it got so many design ideas for our remodel project. Great place because you can touch and try the products.

Brandon Salveson-Krepline

Very interesting products on display, basement is history, main floor is current products, stair landing is tubs and shower, and 2nd floor is showrooms displaying the products "naturally". The staff was very nice and greeted us. Self guided.

Thomas Whittenberger

This is an idea center for anyone wanting to see the incredible range of Kohler products for the kitchen and bath. The associates who are in the Center will answer any questions about the products, as well as refer you to authorized Kohler installers. A visit is highly recommended!

Patt Rother

Very interesting and inspiring.

R.J. Martin

Call ahead to schedule a free factory tour that starts at 8:30 am daily. Amazing to see how clay toilets are made & cast iron tubs. imagine a red hot glowing bathtub dusted with silica powder that melts into a permanent enamel. Amazing to watch all the processes. Great tour guides that were all once Kohler employees. The horse and plow offers a nice lunch on the same grounds. And of course don't forget the design center where you can grab great Inspirations for your next Dream Home.

Wendy Ramos

Loved it, it's simply amazing!

Hugh Sheehy

Great place, probably a plumbers dream :)

Joe Zielinski

Friendly people greeting us and many intriguing possibilities and ideas for our kitchen and bathroom

Russell Lee

What can one say about a place that's equally fun for adults and kids. Working toilets, showers and sinks to play with including fancy controls like pulsating bidet smart seat toilets. Of course for grownups, a great place for design ideas for your next kitchen and bath. Worth the hour to cruise around!

Dan Hyman

Excellent place to visit, even if you're not remodeling your kitchen or bathroom! Lots of history and artifacts from years past. If you're a history buff and from Wisconsin this is a cool place to visit.

RJ Smock

Really cool.

Cynthia Johnson

The Design Center is lovely. We went there for Chef's Night and the food was disappointing.

Maggie Olson

Always a nice place to stop and view Kohler products

Wyatt Moore

The best way to describe this place is by describing what the bathroom of a large mansion might look like. Some of the things in there were ridiculous. I do not know who would possibly need a toilet with a heated seat, automatic opening, and other features. They were cool though. A lot of things there were very cool.

niki broyn

Nothing but inspiration!!

Zach Agnew

I loved seeing all the updated things here. I will definitely go back when in ready to remodel my bathroom.

Mark Supanich

I was surprised how enthralled I was by the bathroom and kitchen designs they showcased. Almost like walking through a museum.

Julia Shaughenssy

This was interesting and a good way to kill some time on a rainy day

Jackie Kirby

It's like a small scale version of Ikea but specializing in kitchen/bathroom. I for sure thought the museum part was going to be boring, but surprisingly found it really interesting. It was fun to see all the actual products, and even better to see the actual designed rooms. We spent about two hours there, and even better that it's free!

John Horzen

Shopping for kitchen or bathroom fixtures? This is the place to see anything you might be dreaming of. Kohler, =Gracious living.

arthur v

Great place. All kinds of ideas for kitchen and bathroom design. We were greeted cheerfully when we walked in.

Kris Pillar

A great attraction and excellent place if you are looking for home improvement ideas.

I highly recommend visiting this. The museum and model bathroom and demo sinks are very interesting. Free tours, register in advance.

Michelle Minisan

Absolutely stunning!! The show rooms were spectacular!! Too many ideas of what we can do!! Enjoyed the walk through history section also.

HeisT_Gavo

Was very cool

Preston

A great place to visit if you need high end fixtures or a complete bathroom makeover.

Matt Walsh

When I was here I was not looking for bathroom freezing ideas. But I have a new found appreciation for kitchen and bathroom design. It was very interesting to walk through all of the mock ups of bathrooms and kitchens. Many of the displays work so you can get a feel for the innovative new faucet and shower designs. It is defined with the visit. If you're sit on Tim head directly up stairs and tour all of the mocked up bathrooms... Amazing.

Doug Fairchild

Every product sold by Kohler under one roof.

Diane Choppie

Kohler has made a beautiful space for the public here. There are 3 floors to tour. It was very interesting and we were glad that we went.

Mary Ann Fiebelkorn

Loved it...beautiful works of art in a neat building with artist decorated bathrooms..free to get in

The best interior/historical showroom I have been to so far. Also, the staff is helpful and nice. Above all, the beautiful Kohler fixtures were the biggest highlight. A must for interior decorators and architects.

Michael Strand

One of the coolest places you'll visit...

JoAnn king/Schaetz

Great products,could show more toilets that are baseless ( off floor and coming out of wall).

Jessica Jackson

Friendly, knowledgeable staff that are truly passionate for the company, it's history and its products. Tour gear was great! They had headphones and Bluetooth receivers so it blocked noise and we could hear the tour guide, with adjustable volume. Beside the tour, the design center itself is huge and fun to poke around in. Their displays are very informative and interactive. It was a valuable and memorable trip!

Timothy Ondercin

Don't build a house without visiting this. I like the museum in the basement. And it's free.

Jeffrey Chan

Awesome place to check out and get the Kohler factory tour (I believe offered on Mondays only, confirm with design center prior to booking trip). Kohler makes high quality great products but also does a great job with there Hospitality.

Andrew Schwalbe

Neat place for remodel ideas. The different displays help you find your own style. Very interesting to see how modern technology including wifi and apps are being integrated intro bathroom technology. Plan 45 min to 60 min if looking at fixtures and more time if you plan to tour the museum/history exhibit in the lower level.

Peter Chiodo

Excellent place for tour and design center. Very good guide, Kohler takes care of employees and guests

Dayle Quigley

This place has the coolest bathroom fixtures. Now if I could win the lotto. There is also a great museum in the basement. Worth a visit.

The fixtures and interactive displays are fun to play with. It's amazing to see all the different bathroom and kitchen displays. The staff is also super friendly.

Kyle Salewski

If you want to see some amazing design ideas for a bathroom and see all the amazing things that Kohler has to offer you need to check this place out. From hot tubs, to sinks, to showers, to a wall of toilets - this place is pretty awesome. Be careful though, once you go here you might end up remodeling your bathroom once you get home :)

Mary Ryan

Had never been here before. And I live in Milwaukee. Was quite impressed. Very nice area.

Vonda Van Ostrand

Enjoyed looking at all the new designs, but very high priced, but if building a new house, would consider including some of the new designs. Great place to visit. We didnt take tour of factory, but good idea to do so.

Mark Breen

If you are doing any home building or remodeling you must stop here!

Steve Johnson

A great place to get some really good and cutting edge design options for your kitchen or bathroom projects. Also, an informative description about the Kohler company's beginnings. Helpful staff to answer any questions you have, also help with designing your projects. Well worth a visit!!

Annette Meisenbech

Different displays since last time I was here. Very interesting. Would like to see displays of small bathrooms.

Garett Berndt

Outstanding displays. Walking through is amazing, the displays are interactive. From the sinks to the showers to the whirlpools. There is also a historic museum feeling downstairs.

Gerry Pintor

If you are doing any remodeling in your Home..especially kitchen and bath..go to the Kohler Design Center...SO MANY Kitchens and cool bathroom ideas to look at..Take the tour!!

Extraordinary designs and products. The lower level has a very interesting history of the Kohler family and their business.

mindi newman

Lots of great information

Lynn R. Peters

Whether you're thinking about remodeling your kitchen or bath, or simply love beautiful homes, this is a fabulous stop! I particularly love the designer rooms on the second floor, but you'll also get a glimpse into the history and products made by Kohler Corporation. Admission is free and if you'd like lunch or a drink afterward, The Horse & Plow is an easy walk down the street inside the American Club hotel.It's reliably good!

Nicole Hintz

We went here to look for plumbing fixtures for our new build. The staff were very helpful and provided us with printouts and sample colors after we picked out our favorites. The display of fixtures makes the decision process a little easier. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to put Kohler fixtures into their home.

bridget g

Gorgeous. Ideas galore. Really wonderful to be able to see and touch items before selecting for our bathroom remodel. Made it easy to feel confident in our style and finish decisions.

Christopher Olson

Excellent history of Kohler family and company, product display is unmatched, and the designed rooms (kitchen/bath) on the 3rd floor is a must see.

Joe Garrett

Excellent way to. see the past as well as see the latest in kitchen and bathroom products. Multi story displays interesting.

Jeff Smith

Informative place for building and remodeling projects. A wide variety of products on display in creative design settings.

Jared Zaitz

Really nice associates!

Natalie

A fun place to visit for bathroom and kitchen inspiration as well as a bit of history. The displays are so gorgeous, they may make you feel like your own home is a pile of garbage, but its a worthwhile trip when in the Kohler area!

Fred Gade

Don’t miss it.

Jeff Sabatini

Some interesting artifacts of the corporate history but entirely sanitized and ultimately rather boring.

Kerry Eviston-Jahnke

Such an awesome place! Loved all the kitchen and bathroom displays. Great to explore top of the line products.

ken ryder

This place was really interesting, I definitely recommend visiting the mid level and upstairs if you plan on renovating or building a new house. The downstairs is a museum and it showed the history of the company and the Creator of the company.

Josh Knudtson

Very informative and a great collection of History
