GREAT FUN FOR EVERYONEGreat for the kids...they loved the Cockerell Butterfly Exhibit. Butterflies actually landed on their clothing. Hint: Where brightly colored clothes. My son wore a bright green and attracted many butterflies. My daughters wore turquoise and no butterflies landed on them.
The IMAX is always a hit, but check ahead to see what's playing. ...You have found this review helpful.1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

Good but pricey!The exhibits were really nice but the cost was too much. Skip the special exhibits and just go to the butterfly exhibit, it was worth it.You have found this review helpful.1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Great PlaceI loved the museum...wish they had something besides McDonalds....but hey, like kids want 3 course meals. The "visitor services" kids were nice and helpfull. Gift shops were nice...like how they have a shop for kid and adult tastes. Gift shop staff, although busy,were very helpfull and friendly when i had a few questions. A little pricey i f you go to see eveything,but well worth it. Will visit again.You did not find this review helpful.0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Loved it!I loved the dinosaurs displays, and the petroleum science section as well. Since Texas is huge on Oil&Gas, it's great that they have a section dedicated on that. And the huge pendulum's awesome! Loved the Native Americans Cultures section as well!OVERALLAtmosphereValue

EDUCATIONAL AND FUN~~~Very educational for people of all ages. It showed science from many different perspectives. I'm returning to school but don't want to make the wrong choice. I think this is the town for me and school will be fun and educational.OVERALLAtmosphereValue

A huge squid scared my boyWe had a real good time touring the museum. My oldest boy was impressed with the interactive center where he got to play with a pendulum and mirrors and lots of buttons to push.
My wife and I learned a lot and had fun with our boys.OVERALLAtmosphereValue -
I've seen betterWhile the museum does have some interesting exhibits, I went through the whole place in just a few hours. I was surprised that many of the exhibits are not real artifacts; they are basically fakes made to look like the real thing. Given the size of the museum, the price for admission ($18 including one planetarium show) and $8 for parking, the value is below par. I did, however, like the general atmosphere of the museum district.0 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL
