I was there for a work conference. The tour was just an added perk. The guided tour was awesome and I learned so much. Can't wait to bring students here!

Shark exhibit was fantastic! But I wish they stayed open for a little bit longer.

The shark exhibit was well done and really cool and the section where you can listen and watch clips from ACL live is also cool. I think the downfall of this museum is it highlights everything “great” about Texas and doesn’t really acknowledge or represent the uncomfortable history of Texas. One half of a wall out of the 3 story museum “highlights” Gay rights, women’s rights, equality protest for African Americans all in one tiny section.

It kind of feels like we’re gonna put up one or two signs about this to say we did it but we’re not gonna go into detail about anything.

I think they could do better to tell everyone’s stories (including indigenous communities / minority communities) and not just that of white Americans. Because they aren’t the only people that have built this state let alone this country.

A great hands-on experience of Texas history! Lots of great displays and video, as well as interactive video games. The first time I attended was with a group of 80 or so students, which was probably too many for the space. This time I went with a group that was small enough we could read and discuss the information in the various exhibits. It was cool to see so many of the things we had read and studied about

Lots of interesting exhibitions, well organized, really inspiring of Texas history and cowboys. I really enjoyed the short films of Texas history, such a beautiful and well made firm, the rattlesnake story was funny and the surprise part got me jump out of the chair! Amazing 3D technique and projector. love the storyline.

Great place to get out of the heat. Some dated items, it's it's museum!
Great gift shop with a very nice staff. The museum itself is laid out very nicely start at the top or start at the bottom. Loads of fun for the kids as well as adults. Parking is available nearby and an easy walk.
The first Sunday of every month the museum is free for all!

Texan view for their own history. Much focused on the Republic. Very good introductory and educational exhibition about Texas history. IMAX, just a few commercial films. Prices for movies are reasonable. Souvenir shop is also interesting. Will I come again? Do I recommend for a membership? If you are living here at least for years and need to buy Texas and Austin souvenirs a lot, Membership is a good choice I guess.

I really enjoyed my experience here. I wasn't expecting the remains of a ship to be housed here. There are plenty of places in the exhibit to sit down which is important when you have a disability. There are also elevators and ramps. I especially enjoyed the exhibits about the indigenous peoples. I only wish there was more about ancient indigenous culture. There's a section on how Texas became independent, civil rights, and Texas industries.
