POCATELLO — The Museum of Clean and My World Discovery Museum are thrilled to announce the return of Pocatello’s beloved Touch-A-Truck event presented by Western States CAT on Tuesday, June 3rd from 5 p.m to 8 p.m. at 711 S Second Ave.

This free community event invites families and children of all ages to see, touch, and explore a wide range of incredible vehicles up close.

“Touch-A-Truck is our way of giving back to the community and creating a space where families can come together, learn, and have fun,” said Samantha Stoddard, Marketing Director for the Museum of Clean. “Every year, we work hard to bring something new and exciting, and we’re thrilled to keep growing this event with even more vehicles.”

From emergency vehicles and racecars to construction trucks and excavators, attendees will have the rare opportunity to climb into the driver’s seat, interact with operators, and explore how these vehicles work. This year also brings expanded hands-on activities provided by My World Discovery Museum and the Museum of Clean.

New additions for 2025 include a free car show presented by the Pocatello Car Club inside the MOC event center, the exciting “Start Your Engines” race car showcase, a 5 p.m. dirt dump demonstration by Idaho Materials & Construction and Food trucks serving up local favorites for all appetites. 

This is a rain-or-shine event, and admission is completely free. Come hungry, come curious, and come ready for fun — Touch-A-Truck is an experience the whole family will enjoy.
