Cutest museum ever! Very informative. A good balance of childish exhibits vs informative exhibits. The play areas are awesome and all have something to teach. Its also every inexpensive. My favorite thing has to be the Corpus Christi history area. Glad to know they are teaching their home towns history!

Cute little place! Seems like a fun place to bring the kids and i learned a lot about ship voyages. The new science area had a lot of mislabelled specimens though

We loved this place! A great place to take kids and learn about history. We adored the live exhibit as well

We loved the aquarium, my favorite part was feeding the sting rays. I thought the whole aquarium was amazing. I cant wait to go back!

Cute place to kill time, my family had fun and were interested in many parts of the museum. The part my kids were looking forward to the most was, of course, the science section/kids area. As soon as we got to that section, a class of children and an adult came out of a room and into the kids area. Signs clearly say no running, and these kids were running wild, bumping into my 2 yr old, no masks, touching faces and touching little blocks and other toys located in this area. No social distancing. The adult who was supposed to be watching them was not. The class left zero space for my kids to explore, even after waiting 20 to 30 min. They still werent gone. So disappointing. It felt clean, except this area. It smelled and felt dirty. Highly touched areas were obviously unclean.

Always a great time keep up the great work corpus christi museum.

Great place to visit. Learn a lot of history. Thank you staff was very helpful and polite.

This was a great museum for its size! There was plenty to look at and experience. It had a little bit for everyone. My kids ventured from DNA to dinos to the history of Corpus. The staff was over the top nice. This museum was a 9 out of 10 for COVID friendly. They checked our temperatures and went over mask procedures on the way in. Everyone was socially distanced and there were cleaning supplies every where. There were a ton of things to touch and touch my kid did. It wasn’t built to be touch-free and that’s okay.

I had a great time at the Museum of Science and History! I honestly did not have high expectations due to a few bad reviews and really just not knowing anyone who has been. I am very impressed with the exhibits. The first one we looked at was Geology. There was an amazing amount of rocks and information about them. My boyfriend saw a review that you could get through all of the exhibits within 15 minutes. Whoever posted that much have just been walking through. We spent between 2.5-3 hours in there and honestly didnt spend as much time on every exhibit. I definitely recommend this museum to anyone who has any interest in history especially.

My daughter has attended the museums summer science camp each summer since 2013, at her request each year. The kids are exposed to tons of fun, while simultaneously learning and developing inquisitive minds about the world they live in. Even in this years COVID environment, they did an exceptional job keeping the kids clean, safe, and mentally active. Kudos to the excellent staff, counselors, and to all the museum backers for providing an outstanding community program to kids, all at a reasonable camp price.

Alot of fun. Saw Nutcracker by my daughters ballet

Great place for locals and tourists alike! Perfect to escape the hot sun. Wonderful history mixed with interactive, play areas for kids.

Lots of variety. Open during Covid and missy safety measures in place. Enjoyable animal life and areas are well kept for the animals.

It was a good museum very insightful and beautiful exhibit, very few exhibits were not working. The planetarium was shut down do to Corona virus. Definitely is a good visit.

Lots of great interactive exhibits! Staff were very welcoming and the facility was very clean.

Bring the kiddies and also enjoy learning stuff adults who happen to really enjoy Corpus Christi history would like. It would be great to see more about the citys history.

Perfect for my little kids. They love this museum so much.

Nice people and we thoroughly enjoyed it.. very interesting...

Fun interaction for all ages. Teaches alot about natural history, however, if you have creationist views be prepared to see exhibits with millions of years.

It was great, hardly anyone there, felt like we had the place to ourselves. Theres a large geological exhibit that is interesting as well as an exhibit featuring findings from a ship wreck. You can see everything in the museum within a few hours depending on how long you spend in each area. Masks are required and there are hand sanitizers through out the entire museum which is very convenient. The collections are not as vast as say the Houston museum but it is still nice. I would recommend it to anyone who hasnt been before and we will definitely return.

Awesome! Bigger than I thought. Many different areas to learn something. Theres a kids play/learn area. Easy enough to get to. Reasonably prices. Very clean.

Very nice and well kept museum! The shipwreck exhibit is unique and their collection of artifacts is simply amazing

Some hands on displays for young learners, but lots of information for older learners. The playground and climbing structure were fun. One one display was out of order. Staff was friendly. We spent four and a half lovely hours playing. There are picnic tables by the playground.

Thank u guys for opening up!!! It was awesome, thx to all ur actors their awesome

Fun place. Many things to look at. Nice break from the outdoor stuff.

We where looking for somthing to do and me and my husband stoped by and there was even a Groupon to a already adable entrance. We had lots of fun and it was very clean

Cute place. It has some small and fun rides and attractions. Not expensive and good place to know and spend time.

Lots of fascinating exhibits! Great value.

A lot of the interactive exhibits are not available due to Covid. If you just want to get out of the heat this is a ok place to do it. Wasn’t too much to do here though.

While in town for the weekend, my family of five (3 adults and 2 kids) visited this museum on a whim and we were not disappointed! We paid a total of $27 for entry. The museum has a huge historical section complete with a life-size ship. They also, surprisingly, had a rather large children’s section that was interactive. Our kids were able to climb through a huge climbing structure, build with life size blocks, construct DNA, enjoy a small planetarium, climb a rock wall, and walk up and down stairs made of piano key steps that actually played tunes as you take steps! I was so surprised that on a Saturday afternoon during spring break, there was no crowding. Our kids enjoyed the exhibits without having to battle other kids.

Awesome absolutely awesome

Seriously fun for parents and kids(ages 12, 10, 5). There was so much more to do than we had time for in our 3.5 hr visit. We were lucky enough to visit on New Year’s Eve for a dollar days discount event with extra fun activities including a noon balloon drop, resolution post-it wall, games and display tables with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Outdoor xeriscape garden was beautiful, educational, and a nice place for a family photo ;)

By far the best Museum in texas I have visit from Houston, San Antonio, Austin ️ Especially planetarium expo and professor Charles I think just made me buy 3 book about astronomy after his Presentation! My 3 yearl old kid loved all the Games and the expositions inside ! Amazing great place keep going !!

Staff was great attractions were very fulfilling overall awesome experience.

Wonderful place with some live actors. My sister was spooked when she was staring at a display and one of the mannequins turned out to be a real person. It was hilarious!

This was a spur of the moment stop. It was hot outside and we needed a break from the heat. So we noticed this museum was on the museum reciprocity list and decided to check it out.I loved how much variety there was on the history side of the museum. My favorite was the general store!The kids loved the Whataburger history display. And the washboard that Sebastian gets washed on in the Little Mermaid. They were also big fans of the giant climbing structure.We spent about 2.5 hours here on a Saturday afternoon and we had plenty of time to see everything!!

Was really nice the kids could interact with some exhibits, great play area with science things to do...also they have an outside play area.

Very fun, educational Friday afternoon! Favorites were the gear bicycle, piano stairs and planetarium.

I was happy to spend a few hours here on a Friday afternoon. I enjoyed watching informative videos on a variety of topics, especially in the dome room telling about dark matter. The scanning electron micrographs were very interesting. Ever seen one of caffeine crystals? Yikes!

It is clean, information and good for small kids. Its kind of small

Bern going since i was 5-6 years old great place not huge but still great

Staff super friendly! Good way to soak up three hours of the day!

Nice museum. I enjoyed walking around.

Worth every penny

Great place to visit and learn new things.

We spent MANY hours enjoying this museum

Another more updated from my childhood.

Had a great time at d museum!! We went during d week. They had people doing exhibits & interacting wit visitors!! It had been a long time in going. I was very impressed.

Definitely well worth the visit. Lots of history and significant things to Corpus Christi. Spent at least 2 hours here.

This was a pretty cool museum that offered a lot of stuff that will keep a kid interested for quite some time. From oil rigs to a fantastic planetarium visual simulation, the museum has it all and it includes a kid “play place” inside and outside.

Dr. Chuck very informative about the universe and beyond. Very enjoyable, great place to learn about corpus christi history among other things.

Awesome place for kids od all ages. Right amount of fun and science!

Very informative and interesting..loved this place

The place is not worth the time or money. Half of the interactive exhibits did not work and no one was even trying to fix them. The planetarium was malfunctioning so it created a double vision. Exhibits were still being set up and moved around. Took only an hour to see everything since so much was not working. Kids were bored (ages 13 and 8). I was seriously disappointed in this. The whole thing of going to corpus was the excitement of going there.will not ever waste my time in going back.

I was amazed at what they had on display and how close it could get to stuff.

We had a great time here with the children. The live demonstrations were enganging.

Most lovely experience ever! I will go back over and over again! Staff is extraordinarily friendly and maintain such a pleasant atmosphere and accommodations!

Very informative and great environment!

If you like history stuff its great. Or if you have small kids there is plenty for them to do there.

It was a nice small museum with some interesting things to see and learn about. There was a day care or field trip there at the same time. The girls in the staff shirts that were watching the kids seemed to be doing anything but that. They were just running wild so the whole Science part wasnt enjoyable at all. At least they seemed to be contained in there for the short time we were visiting

Loved the place. 10/10 would go again.

Great day to enjoy the museum has changed quite a bit since I was last here

Loved this place. Lots of kid exhibits. Very small gift shop. Lots to see and full of Texas history.

Sharp edges in the kids play area! A few of the childrens exhibits either dont work or are closed, the exhibits that are not closed or broken are informative in a fun way. Overall, not a terrible way to spend the afternoon, especially using that Groupon!

Its always fun taking the kids here and its not too expensive like the aquarium

Cool place to go.. Especially with 100+ temps outside

Great attractions and kind staff.

So cool and insightful. Great value for the money

My son couldnt focus on just 1thing. For once that is a good thing!

So much cool stuff to see. Not an unreasonable entrance fee for all the information inside.

I was really torn between a three star and a four star on this one. The local history section is pretty big and very informative and the nautical archaeology section is very interesting. Decent display of gems, the dinosaur sections a little small as is the wetland section. There are, however, a lot of guns.They do feature some live demonstrations and have occasional special events which are interesting. The main reason I gave it a three is because they have a very big interactive hands-on section which has a lot of potential but on this last visit quite a few of the hands-on displays didn’t work properly or simply didn’t work. Kind of a letdown when you have kids with you. My understanding is that they sustained damage during hurricane Harvey and are in process of receiving grant money that should be able to fix these issues.

It was okay. Kind of pricey. Was upset because everything that they have for kids to play with was broken or not functioning properly. There is an area with nothing at all. Could use some updating and proper cleaning. The outdoor play area is kind of small but nice. The music things they have out there needs to be maintained properly, my kids didmt get to enjoy because it was covered in dirt and bugs. The water feature is cute but again full of bugs. There was a field trip going on and the kids were running everywhere, and not being mindful of the little kids that were there.

My kids love this place and we come here often

Kids enjoyed it very Much...

Beautiful and entreating place. Lot of stuffs for the kids to do and to learn. A must visit.

Planned a day to come here on vacation. When we got here was not allowed due to an event. It would have been nice if you had posted this on your web site. Diasappointed.

Make sure you have plenty of time time to see everything. We rushed through in 2 hours, but we could have spent another 2 hours if we hadnt been in a hurry. Good family experience.

We toured the C. C. Museum of Science and History. Its exhibits are beautiful, historical and educational. We sat at the exhibition of rocks. Take your children or your family to this museum and enjoy a day of learning. Its exhibits are fabulous.

It was amazing. Hadnt been here since I was a kid. Absolutely loved it. Great exhibits and lots of picture opportunities. Will go back again.

It was really fun and educational.

We spent two hours looking at all the wonderful exhibits! We loved the variety and in depth decriptions. We went during the week so it wasnt too crowded. Please try to donate too!!

Amazing to see a must to visit

Great museum with lots of interactive stations and a very helpful staff!

I want to like this place. The dinosaurs exhibit is broken. Half the hands on exhibits are broken. The outside playground is nice. I am disappointed that they dont keep up more of the hands on things for the kids.Thank you for the response. While I understand that with kids and adults coming and going that things get broken, it seems like an overstatement on your part to say everything is 100 percent operational. Maybe I should be more clear as to what is broken. The dinosaurs exhibit only one side works. The side that did work in the dinosaurs exhibit was spastic. The balance act exhibit, when you put matching weights on either side and it still didnt balance out correctly. The exhibit that you shoot pingpong balls, half the balls where broken and out of the three launchers only one works. Next to the indoor playground the flip the rings exhibit the paddles are broken. Maybe my expectations were set to high for your small operation to keep up with.

Lots of interesting and educational exhibits areas. Covers the history of the area quite well. Also has very well designed displays on the oil industry, including a refinery model and powered oil well pump. Extensive and well labeled displays of rocks, minerals, metals, plants, animals and much more. Many hands on items for children, as well.Pricing quite reasonable. Spent three hours there and could have spent more. Only minor negative was we had a little trouble locating it as it is sort of hidden behind a huge local event center. Driving signage needs to be improved!

Used to go here a lot with my great grandmother. Its an awesome place to go. Shared it with my kids and wife.

Its perfect place for spending time with kids and learning some science materials. Lovely staff and guidance during tour. Theres some brochure about different subject it can help you out a lot. Gift shop have some items that you can buy in front of door. Theres a beautiful garden outside of museum with different flowers and trees please dont forget to get a tour. Yeah you can go to the famous bridge after museum . Its a few minutes walk back.it have a beautiful view when big ship pass under bridge, especially if you be there at the evening when sunset happen.

The science aspect of this museum is more of just a playground. My kids loved the rockwall. The History section is nice for adults. Will not go back again. Not much has changed in 20 years. Dinosaurs and star Galaxy exhibit out of service

Great place to take the kids. Huge indoor playground.

I grew up enjoying the Museum. Loved looking at the shrunken heads. But such as life things have changed there a bit. My Wife and I brought her Father and her Aunt. We had a great time looking at all the new displays. An had fun learning about our coastal area. Over all it was time well spent.

Neat little place, lots of things to see. Great if you have kids they have an interactive area where they can try things and play and touch and learn for little ones.

The kids really liked it but not one of those places to go on a regular bases.

Lots to do, great learning experience! My 5 year old and 9 year old had a great time.

Great educational place to take the kids. The staff is very hospitable.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff

Family friendly! Love it and all their great pieces. Love their gift shop as well!

I took my daughter there for the first time. We absolutely had a great time. We want for the Dr. Seuss event.

Very enjoyable. Great local history

Excellent New Years Eve activities for children.

The museum part is great with lots of interesting displays but the kids area is just a small part of the whole museum. I kind of expected more interactive experiments.
