Best and only museum option I know of for RR, CP, N Austin as it relates to science and technology.Only giving it 4stars because you can tell it hasnt hit its full potential quite yet.. but its definitely on its way.Had a great time with my son, will definitely be going back again soon.

Its a good start. The museum is in a temporary location with very few amenities, but I found the da Vinci exhibit very interesting. I would like to come back when theyre in the permanent location.

This little science museum was really impressive, especially in light of its modest size. The inflatable planetarium was really fun and functioned well. The Leonardo DaVincis Machines exhibit was top notch - well curated and interesting and accessible to patrons of all ages. Theyre on the other side of Austin from us, but I still plan on making the effort to go back.

What a great space for kids and adults to explore together! Very clean and open feel. Employees are always behind desk, but very eager to discuss any questions you may have. There are many stations that educate about science and technology in a hands on style, which is the way most kids learn and that approach makes the experience a lot more memorable and fun. We had a fantastic time when we visited on a Labor Day. Will definitely be back to explore all of the stations and the Planetarium!Make sure to ask about the scavenger hunt!

As much as I want to love all museums and places where my kids can learn this place just doesnt have it. The only bright spot was the woman who presented the solar system movie but even then it was basically Google Earth but much older technology and graphics. Lastly, this place is about 3 times more expensive than it should be. Just not worth it.

This Museum is definitely small however we knew that going in and were not expecting a huge interactive Museum. Knowing that this was a small Museum due to the fact that they are fairly new and growing was an appeal for us because we wanted to support them. My kids have been to larger Museums several times and they still had a blast here! We originally went for the King Tut exhibit however it was no longer there but after I told the staff how obsessed my daughter was with Egypt the woman running the planetarium show catered to her and incorporated some facts about Egypt. My favorite part of this experience was how dedicated and passionate the staff was about providing the best experience for our whole family. Every one was extremely nice and informative I feel that the staff made this experience more personal than I have ever experienced from the larger Museums. We were thankful for the opportunity to support this place and I encourage those who want to have a larger Museum available in their community to do the same so that they can continue to expand. I have no doubt that this facility will continue to improve and grow, we will definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again! Thank you to all of the staff for your dedication to providing this experience and education to families and for exceeding our expectations!!!

The Tut exhibit was interesting, but small and unfortunately its only temporary. The planetarium exhibit was the best part science wise but only lasted 30 minutes and was rather small. The rest of the museum was dinosaur fossils and was small. My family (3 adults, 1 child) got in with a Groupon and enjoyed it for the price and even purchased 2 books (one a brief lesson on hieroglyphics, the other Carters experience with Tuts tomb) But had we paid the original entrance price, we would have been furious. The museum does allow reentry for a whole day so it would be a good place to kill some time I suppose. Highly recommend going to each of their shows as the Phantom of the Universe was amazing and educational.

TX MOST is still a very new business at a little over 1 year old but their exhibits are a nice way to keep children and adults alike entertained and thinking about possibilities in the world around them. If you go here expecting a fully established museum without prior research, youll be disappointed. I personally think theyre doing a wonderful job at bringing in exhibits that allow them to economically gain traction that will eventually bring forth more funding for facility and exhibit improvements.All things start small, unless you have enough money to start big, and Ill continue to take advantage of exposing my children to that very reality of business and life, as well as the interactive and knowledgeable pieces they put out.

I have to say I am a little disappointed. The museum was just okay. I was very excited about the planetarium, but it was very small and extremely hot inside. The show was just all right.The Egyptian exhibit was disappointingly set up. I had expected to be able to spend more time there, but we were able to see/read every thing in under 40 minutes. For the price, I had hoped there would be enough to keep us occupied for at least an hour. And with the eclipse coming, I had hoped to have a show dedicated to the monumental event. I learned a little, so it was not a total waste. But I dont think Ill be back.

Way overpriced. It seems if they charged half of what they charge people would leave more fair reviews and they might have more customers. Ive paid what I paid today at science museums in Houston. I think NASA is actually cheaper!!

Going to see Body World was an enlightening experience. The complexity of the exhibits was incredible, and awe-inspiring. My only disappointment was that there werent any of the animal exhibits along with the humans. It is very important to watch the short video before going in to see the perfectly preserved bodies. The process of creating the exhibits is as amazing as the exhibits themselves. It is difficult to comprehend that the bodies on display are actual human beings, and not simply simulations of the human form created by a sculptor. I hope the museum can bring in other exhibits of equal magnitude.

The planetarium was definitely the main attraction and was very interesting. It is small however, and seats fill very quickly. Most kids just lay on the floor. They have multiple shows, and we watched two of them. It was very cool to see telescope images of planets and stars in this way. The two guides we had were very rehearsed and talked very very fast, which made it hard to understand everything.We saw the Tutenkamen exhibit also, which was interesting, but the items were very obvious replicas made of cheaper materials. They also had some fossil replicas of early creatures.It was a bit expensive for what you get, but it was still good entertainment and education for my boys and me. We were there about 2 hours, including the 2 planetarium shows.

It was cool! Many different exhibits on sound and light. They have some dinosaur exhibits and are expanding. It is one big room with lots of different stations to play with. There is also a star projector theater dome where they play educational video shows. If you have kids, they would love it!

Its not much right now, but its the best we have in Central Texas. I have seen the vision they have for the place for the future, and one day, it will be amazing. They just need people to come and be supportive, to earn the money needed to be the awesome educational and fun place they have envisioned.

Dont waste your time or money. This place is a joke. This may be what Texas is used to as a museum, but we moved from across the country this summer and this place is ludicrous in using the term museum to classify itself. This is a rented warehouse space with some well-done replicas placed inside with a whole bunch of information on plaques. And when I say some I do not mean a lot. It is tiny and the only technology here is a bouncy house planetarium. Planetarium show was cool but theres no way this place is worth more than $5. It took us 30 minutes to get through everything and then we sat through the 30 minute planetarium show. And that was the entire experience. It is tiny. It is ugly. And in comparison to actual museums, this place has no business calling itself a museum. College class project would be a better classification.

Nice set of mechanical hands-on exhibits. The planetarium was also cool. I just found the place a bit pricey for whats offered. Also when I visited, two areas were under construction.

I had the best day here with my kids. I have a 5 y/o and pre-teen and they both loved it. The key was the worksheets/scavenger hunt that was provided, as well as how kind and engaging the staff was with the kids. We spent hours at the museum and enjoyed every minute of it! Cant wait to go back!

Small, not too interesting and we missed when they had shows for the planets....in their inflatable thing. My husband was really excited about that but we got there when the show ended and had our child--def couldnt stay for 2 hours until the next because there wasnt much to do. The clerk made it seem like it was going to be really cool and neat with a few things but one--we didnt get to do the planetarium thing and the dumpster wasnt...really interesting. A guy made something livable. If i wanted to see that id watch TLC. but for 18 dollars for two of us plus our child... I guess it was a trip out.

This was my nephews third visit to the museum and I was honored that he wanted to share this museum with me. It was interactive, fun, and educational. It was wonderful to see parent enjoying the museum with their children. Since our visit was on a Friday evening, we stayed for the Star Party. It was awesome!

Giving this 5 stars because I hope it will grow... At the moment there isnt a ton here. But my 5 year old loved it, and I think the area really needs a place like this. The staff were really kind, and the planetarium was fun. The exhibits were a little sparse and not in great shape.

Poorly done. Metal building - one big room. Very under funded.Two exhibits - dinosaur exhibit and King Tut were not even open although they were advertised as part of the museum. No discount even if only half of the exhibits were open.The planetarium is a joke if you have ever been to a real one.A blow up type of dome with lawn chairs.The lady narrating had a nasal sound to her voice and was anything but professional.The videos shown were very amateur.Bottom line, spend your money somewhere else. This isnt worth it.

Even free on Earth Day and with a cool King Tut exhibit, I felt like it was questionable whether it was worth the visit. The place is probably more fun for three to five year olds. Very friendly folks, though, and they try to be helpful. Not much to see as a museum, felt more like a temporary warehouse of stuff. Dont go for the planetarium part, it is less than interesting - a mobile, once again temporary, set up of blowup tent.

A good start to what hopefully will become an excellent science museum. The focus remains on astronomy related, King Tut facsimiles, and dinosaur- related models, good for children in particular. Hopefully well see a significant museum in 20-30 years.

This is a good start for a science museum. They utilize traveling exhibits and dont seem to have stationary exhibits other than the planetarium.What many people dont realize is that membership has reciprocal rights with many science museums across the country.Its a great gift, that keeps on giving. Go on vacation out of town and you can visit the local science museum.If they receive local support they will be able to grow into the science museum suitabke for Austin.EDIT - The museum closed at the end of January. Unfortunately, we gave it as a gift to my sons family. Luckily they went 2 weeks before everyone received a letter saying they were closing ans memberships would be transferred to the Bob Bullock museum. They received parking passes and tickets for the IMAX theater. They also have reciprocal membership here as well. So It wasnt a big loss.Thank you Bob Bullock Museum for stepping up.

This is not a science museum nor is it technological in any matter. Dont waste your money on this place! Full of Egyptian replicas and fake fossils. They have a lot of open empty space . The so called science was just a sad wall of printed images of outer space nothing worth talking about. Look I understand if you want to support local museums but take it from me this was a waste of money and literally only took my family and I all of about ten minutes to roam.

Very few exhibits for the price. Spend 20 minutes tops and snacks are expensive. Planetarium was cool.

Kids loved wandering through dinosaur and butterfly exhibits. Older son loved planetarium. Bit too advanced for younger son. Second time we visited.

I took my two young grandsons (1st grade and K) and we had an incredible day of learning. We went on a Saturday where the staff provided an interactive technology day. The boys were fully engaged in learning while constructing and problem solving at the stations. They learned and retained high level concepts while developing projects - hands on. We loved the planetarium by laying on the floor and viewing the sky provided by 4D technology. We did a lot of talking about the King Tut displays and the small dino exhibit. They enjoyed playing in the childrens free center and picked out reasonably priced gifts. It was a fantastic day of discussing a wide range of concepts that they will learn in upper elementary grades. The staff was amazing; kind; patient and eager to teach. We asked questions and they were happy to provide answers. Admission is costly. I am glad that they had the extra technology activities. I would recommend going on those particular special days.

You must be kidding with the price of ticket. It was a huge rip off. Just because I dont want to disappoint my daughter I had to go with it. Austin zoo charges you less. For 30$ I paid I could have taught my kid a hell lot of science stuff. Not even a single butterfly ( dead or alive ). Such a painful visit but a huge build up in the website.

I enjoyed myself. Yes its small, and simple, but its also new and far away from downtown and the shopping hubs, so its gonna take time to expand and get fancy. How can people expect a huge event center with real life stars shining in your face without supporting them when their small? If you dont like it, volunteer your time and make it better!

Enjoyed it very much! There was 6 of us representing 4 GENERATIONS in our family from 4 yrs up to 79 yrs old. We all found the exhibits interesting and educational . We will be telling our friends about our experience AND we will return!

If you have kids between the age of 4 and 8, this might interest them. Just dont expect to be interested yourself. Its in a warehouse. Many of the interactive exhibits were broken. The so called planetarium is a small tent and the show is low def. Some of the information about the exhibits was either missing or wrong. Felt like a project that was half finished but ran out of money - which turned out to be the case by their own admission. A depressing experience all round without a childs imagination to plug the gaps. I hope they get the investment they need, Austin really needs a decent science museum.

I visited the Museum this weekend and our family really enjoyed the hands on exhibits as wells as the fossil and dinosaur exhibits. I have to say my favorite was the planetarium. I hope that the museum will be able to accomplish their goal to build the state of the art facility in 2020. I will definitely plan to revisit.

$34 way too much for 1 adult and 12 year old. We walked through the replicated artifacts of Egypt and fossils in about 10-15 minutes. The museum does not really have much to do with science or technology, but leans more towards space and history. Nothing interactive for children, just items to look at. Waiting for the planetarium. Hope it is worth our expensive entry fee because the exhibit definitely was not.

A very open and well laid out museum with interesting exhibits. Facilities are clean. I would give it 5 stars but cannot due to the the 30.06 sign posted at the front door.

It was horrible. Its not worth going. Their planetarium - at least this is what they call it - is not even close to be interesting. You watch 2 movies. One about light in the cities and the second one is about how the telescope was made. It has nothing to do with planets. Even our 6-years old asked if that was it. The rest...well it looks like they spend more money on their website than on anything else. I can build all this stuff what they have with trash too. They want so much money and offer nothing.Oh...and when we arrived there they didnt even know if the planetarium is working.

This should not be open to the public. You should get grants to open a full museum, not steal peoples money to see cheap, dusty, replicas. Cob webs everywhere, which is surprising​ since nothing is legitimately historical. Dont call yourself a technology museum if what you currently offer is 6, 3d printers against a wall not doing anything. The planetarium show in a tarped off dome with lawn chairs was a nice touch. Not that the warehouse its in with the sports players painted on it shouldnt have made me stay away. Im the idiot here. I will not be going back when the full museum is open, this has left a terrible taste in my mouth that will Outlast my living in Austin.

This Museum is surprising. Ive been here to multiple different exhibits. Bodyworlds, Ancient Egypt, etc. They bring in quality exhibits and do a great job of presenting and displaying. Im surprised at the quality and the prices they charge. Im glad to see these types of displays of culture at such reasonable prices.

Waste of time and MONEY! This was a giant warehouse of empty space and fake fossils and Egyptian replicas... even my 5 year old pointed out they the walls were made of cloth... it takes about 30-45 min to wander through it (with effort) only to be disappointed... the only attraction that was OK at best was the planetarium movie projection, but i still actually fell asleep a few times... so for the $66 (3 adults 1 kid) i paid, id love to get it back... we all left and said should have just gone to see a movie... will never return...

Walked in to this place today expecting a fun experience for my kids. But, not so much.Went on a school field trip last year with my 3rd grader to this place and there was lots of fun interactive things for the kids to experiment with and interact with. Today, not so much. There was a king Tut Exhibit and a fossil exhibit. We had already seen the fossil exhibit a year ago. Nothing for the kids to interact with. They also had a blow up planetarium.They had a cool 3D printer exhibit, but no one there to tell you about it or to demonstrate it. Boo!Unfortunately we wont go back. After 5 minutes in the museum, I kindly asked for a refund and was refused by the not so professional manager or staff. Not at all impressed. Plus it smelled of mold or mildew when we entered the building. Overall not a good experience.So I agree with the others, even though this is a non profit and run through donations, it was a total waste of my $42.

It would be very helpful if there were a sign either on the building itself, or at the intersection of Whitestone and Toro Grande. We tried to find the museum today and drove right by because of no signage other than the old sports signs.Will go again now that we know the correct building. Am sure we will like it!

Great place to get out of the heat. My 9 year old really enjoyed the exhibit worksheets. The planetarium was wonderful.

Love the King Tut exhibit. If three of you are visiting together, buy a membership and save money. Plus you can return as often as you like for a year!

Its basically a small open warehouse with some open exhibits. Neat if youre paying $5/person but the price is triple that amount. Pretty disappointing.

Really cool for kids and adults. They have some kid friendly exhibits that change regularly, and the same with the traditional museum style exhibits. The new planetarium is great too.

I got to spend my 20th birthday here. As someone with a deep love for science, history and technology - I couldnt have asked for a better experience. The planetarium was indisputably my favorite part.While not every adult may find this the activity of their choice, for any parents of kids or teens interested in these types of things; I couldnt recommend TMOST more for a birthday venue, or just a fun weekend activity.

I went today and payed around 40$ for me and my husband for a 20 minute tour of the museum. There was not a lot to see & it was pricey. I was expecting it to be cool and exciting and it really bummed me out . I Dont think i will be coming back.

I was not aware that we had the Texas Museum of Science & Technology! I am very excited we have this museum and am looking forward to seeing it grow. The Body World & the Cycle of Life exhibit was pretty cool.

Good displays and interesting things to see. But I feel they are struggling to balance the cost of the admission for the amount of content to display.

Its fun and you can learn alot, I liked the planetarium.

Love their guest lecture series. Helpful staff and relaxed air through the the talk. Looking forward to the next speakers.

We love the interactive and exploratory Science area, Planetarium shows, and their growing exhibit areas. Its a place where the adults can have as much fun as the kids!

Its good to go, but I think I dont go again. there is a very interesting exhibition such as can study about three primary colors of light, phenomenon of air conditioner with compressor, how to store electric power with capacitor, etc. but for me, admission fee is little bit expensive only for those stuff. their main exhibition is maybe planetarium, its good to see, but its run about every hour for 20 to 30 minutes. If, Japanese come to see the planetarium with the expectation which he experienced in Japan, hell be disappointing.

TX Most is a wonderful little museum that hopes to grow and become a guiding little of history and science in CTX. Currently they have 3 exhibits and a small planetarium.

Super cool. Took 2.5 year old and infant. Both loved the planetarium.

The King Tut exhibit was good. The Planatrium show was very uderwhelming. The Facilitators voice was irritating. He may need to put more energy in his delivery style. It is too monotone.

Small museum was interesting, but not more content than an hour or two. Friendly helpful staff made the trip worthwhile.

Handful of exhibits, and more than a couple were broke. Small planeterium, and then told to lay on the floor since all the seats were taken. Then as were inside, the director tell us theyre still working on other exhibits, pretty much making half the building closed off. Please find somewhere else to go. Dont waste your time.

Ive. Seen the Body Works Museum on line. I can not wait to see it in person. Awesome, thanks to those who lovingly and artfully study and teach the human anatomy.

I would give it no stars if possible. If they charged $2 per adult and kids under 5 free, then I would bump it up to 2 stars. It is WAYYYYYY overpriced for a museum that you work your way through in 20 minutes tops. The interactive displays and exhibits are straight from the 1970s. It is a complete waste of time. I came from Chicago and while I did not expect the same museum experience (obviously), I did not expect this. Amateurish is a kind description.

Small but interesting. Unique exhibits. Would be good for small school groups.

This is not a museum. This is an antiquated recreation building with AstroTurf that is currently hosting exhibits. We should have known something was off when we noticed there wasnt any signage for the museum which caused us to miss our turn.I was excited to experience the Body World exhibit and left very disappointed. This was a poor representation of something that should have been done well. Glass casings were dirty, scotch tape held poorly printed labels that marked organs, and the videos were of such poor quality.Would not recommend.

Small display area, but staff is friendly. Kids had a great time!!

...not gonna lie, this place needs some work. But it is a temporary location. Given that, there is a lot for kids to see and interact with. Planetarium was fun, and dinosaur exhibit.

Took my son for the new king Tut exhibit and it was an impressive exhibit plus they had very knowledgeable staff ready to answer any questions. The dinosaur exhibit was my sons favorite by far.

This museum was thrown together in an old indoor soccer arena. had we not already purchased a groupon I would have skipped it when I saw they had only gone to the trouble to modify one of the soccer murals on this warehouse in a small industrial park. the exhibits are limited, many were not working and all were 5th grade science experiments. the planetarium is inflatable. what a joke for a science museum

For $18 a person, you would expect so much more than a storage bulding turned museum.

Good exhibits, best suited for older kids (9 and up)

Some friends and I checked this out. We couldnt stop joking about it being a scam. Its unlike any museum Ive been too and not in a good way. Hilarious experience though

Killed two hours here. It is neat for kids. It is a kittle cheesy for me. I cannot fault them for trying. I hope they can expand. Worth going once but I dont think we will be back anytime soon. I hate giving bad reviews. But there are many other places to spend our time and money.FYI, this is greared to small children ages 6 to 12 or so.

Its a little cheesy compared to proper museum. But they definitely try and the planetarium was neat.

We very much enjoyed our visit. Especially the star and planet exhibit with speaker.

The children loved their time at the museum. They especially loved the planetarium.

Provided a star gazing event with telescopes! Lots of fun foe the family.

The current hands on exhibits are great. Hopefully theyll never get look only exhibits again.

Do not spend a dime at this horrible self proclaimed science museum that is just a metal warehouse. The staff Is lazy and unprofessional. Its so unfortunate.. its a for profit museum exploiting money from children. SHAME on you to ruin a educational science experience. The ASTC should be worried about being affiliated with you!!!!!!

More expensive than expected, but we all had a really nice time

My daughter loved it, but she doesnt know how expensive it was. It wasnt worth the price we paid.

Awesome experience, A very interesting dinosaur exhibit, The planetarium was awesome, although more stuff is being added so there isnt much stuff to see

Someone actually took the time to make a crack-house exhibit. Insane. The planetarium was nice.

This is the first step to a world-class Science Museum and Planetarium in Central Texas. Given its unique location in a business park, I didnt have high expectations (or even knew the team behind this new museum). When we walked in, the lobby needs some work to make us feel like we walked into an actual museum, but once inside, it exceeded our expectations. Think of this more like an awesome Planetarium that has some neat science experiments surrounding it and youll have a great time. We were fortunate enough to catch a special presentation in the Planetarium by the founder of the museum, where he was demonstrating some incredible software to a special group of people. We were blown away by what we learned. I thought I knew a lot about space, but every stop in this journey through space presentation, I learned something new. It was a lot of fun. I spoke with the founder after the show and he explained that this museum is the first step towards raising more funds. I encourage others to visit this fantastic new space. There are Groupons available right now which help save 50%.

Body Worlds is fascinating and the planetarium shows are really informative! Definitely worth a visit.

Currently there is only one exhibit. It was good, but the price of entry doesnt reflect what is offered.

Very informative and a great way to teach a lesson on space out side of the classroom.

Lots of work in progress, but what they do have up is impressive and fun

Honestly, to call this a Planetarium and a science museum is misleading. It is neither. At best it is an IMAX movie and not a very good one at that. The female employee who set up the movie was very concerned that everyone not adjust the chaise lounge type chairs we were in because they would break.She said this several times. When the first film unexpectedly stopped, her reaction was a loud oh sh**. I was shocked. She warned us in advance that the feature was a Russian film with Russiansubtitles but was narrated in English. She also warned us the there was a depiction of a full female nude. Yes it was artistic but hardly appropriate to be seen by children visiting a planetarium. I had my 2 little nephews aged 5 an 7 with me. Can it truly be this was the only film they could find? The other film was a long advertisement on the dangers of light pollution. Overall a very disappointing trip.An episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy would have been more entertaining. End result.... if youre expecting a show at a planetarium you will be very disappointed.about 12 hands of interactive science diys sc

A great place for all ages and the planetarium is amazing!

I am sorry but the name of this place is completely misleading. This is like a (extremely) small collection of preschool/elementary school science projects. Not even comparable to childrens museums. Groupon price is way too much for this place.

Friendly staff, neat exhibits, but I wish it was larger and offered more.

It was small but we had a awesome time..the time flew..

Pretty cool, the Body World exhibit was the only thing available, so Im looking forward to new ones soon

Overpriced. Unprofessional staff. Small and unfinished exhibits. Planetarium was “broken”, which is not surprising considering its little more than a dome shaped tent in a warehouse. Expect to be disappointed.

My favorite was the planetarium! I felt like I was wearing a VR headset.

Interesting exhibits, small enough to enjoy with a younger child

Good place to bring your kids.

I would give it no star if it is an option. It is so over-priced and not worth to drive there. $2 will be a reasonable price.

I went with my husband and kids, we didnt like it because it was expensive for the exhibits that they have, they have not much, and the things they have are not in good shape

Quaint but a fun morning outing

Very interesting and fun for the kids.

For as much as they charge to go in you youd think it would be a little bigger with more things to see.
