Wow very cool and well taken care up . Free with donation . One of the best museums we have ever been to!

Such a cool little place! Loads of shells, a megalodons jaws, a mosasaur skull, a triceratops skull, a few other cool fossils, and lots of neat minerals and geodes. Free to see and the volunteers are SO NICE!

Friendly helpful staff, clean facility and interesting artifacts and exhibits. A great afternoon stop to get out of the heat for a few hours.

Free admission and parking. Plan on 30 minutes to 2 hours. 1/3 dinosaurs/ fossils, 1/3 local archeology/ anthropology, 1/3 shells.

We loved it, very amazing collection of all different types of seashells

Just a blast, and absolutely free. Remember that, because its not very large. But the exhibit itself is VERY impressive, with some truly memorable pieces and fossils. With an excellent array of gulf coast marine fossils, this is really a neat place to take the kiddos. Stick around for a show at the planetarium, too!

Recently moved here and didnt even know they had a museum. We went there expecting to have a mediocre experience. There is much more there than i could have possibly anticipated. Highly recommended.

Eclectic collections and its free. Kids love it, just enough of one topic and zip, if to dinosaurs, then shells. Helpful docents, then an art gallery. Go to Sea Center next for free.

Great for kids and adults. Was lots of fum to visit with my kids. Its also free! Though you should leave a donation. Its well worth it.

Fabulous collection of shells. 14,000 plus. Wish we could have stayed longer

Nice, quaint museum. Very kind and helpful docents. Worth the stop.

This is a truly special place. They maintain an incredible display of fascinating artifacts, The visit is free and theres rarely many visitors. The volunteers are all happy and helpful

The staff and volunteers are great. We liked this place better than the HMNS for younger kiddos because its much, much less overwhelming. We were able to spend just 1.5 hours (and see basically everything) but still get home in time for lunch and nap. Perfect outing for our 1-5 year olds. Definitely recommend!

I love this place, I take my little sister every so often, and we have a great each and everytime.

My kids love visiting when we come to Texas. It has an extensive shell collection and a nice kid area for little ones to play. We usually spend 30-60 minutes here.

This is a free museum with a wonderful collection of shells and fascinating exhibits. Not limited to the Gulf of Mexico, the large shell collection has featured exhibits along with dozens of drawers full of additional specimens. They have butterflies, fossils, minerals, mammals, birds, and other artifacts as well.There are numerous kids activities. Everything is pretty self-guided and very relaxed. The gift shop is small but has some very cool stuff that is VERY affordable. They do not take credit cards, so bring some cash. Also on display when we visited were some of the greatest dioramas I have seen. Pair this with a trip to see live critters at Sea Center Texas and you have a really fun (FREE) day!

Small but worth the visit. Awesome variety of shells. Plus its FREE! Please donate as donation keeps them open to the public.

Kid friendly. Friendly volunteers. Nice clean environment. Will love to return.

Beautiful little museum with lovely kid crafts

Awesome little museum!!

Beautiful museum. I went with my sons. They loved it.

Not very big, but lots of interesting exhibits.

We love this museum. Onsite parking, restrooms available, handicap accessible, and it is free to get in unless you want to make a donation. There is so much cool stuff to see in here. Lots of shells, animals, and dinos as well as cultural items and gems. Definitely worth a visit!

Loved this one will go back.

Great few hours spent here with the family. The best part is its free to go here and explore all the shells and just really cool for the whole family. Will return when were back in the area!!!

I love it, kids age, 1 and 2, are interested in dinousours, fish, and little small things. They have a play area, and are doing a certain play time, for all kids call them to verify the day and time. Works to meet other sahm

Id have given them 5 stars if not for their schedule (they could open earlier & all)

Very cool place. Great for whole family.

Very fun! My kids loved it

Really cool collection of stones, fossils, and taxidermy with some historical finds as well. Kids corner is a nice touch!

My kids love this place and there is plenty of interesting stuff for adults too. This place is a local treasure. They have a little bit of everything and probably the biggest sea shell collection you’ve ever seen.

Really nice set up great educational displays me and my family were entertained for over an hour love it! Highly recommend!

It is a nice little free museum with lots of things in it. My wife and I cant wait to bring our little one next time. There is quite a bit to do in it. For one thing, it has one of the best shell collections i have ever seen. Second, take a picture by the dimetrodon statue, it is way cool. Finally, check out the flourescent rocks behind the curtain, you wont be disappointed. This is a nice, old school museum with not a lot of glitz and glamour but has a lot of heart. This museum is very reminiscent of museums of past, where you just went to learn. The gift shop is very affordable and has things from ornaments and necklaces to plastic toy animals. It was very nice neat interesting place i will definetly be back.

Took our 5 year old grandson here, he and we loved the dinosaur bones, Texas animals and sea shells

Free, free parking, awesome volunteers, and interesting things to see!

It has a lot of stuff for a free museum. Wish the planetarium was open on the weekend though.

Great stop for some natural history.

Fantastic place. Real diamond in the rough.

Really good place to visit. Certainly cant beat the price.

Nice for an afternoon visit. Locating it wasnt the easiest but once found it was easy to navigate.

Nice small.museum worth a visit

Knowledgeable staff and animatronic engineers. What isnt to love!
