Clean and fascinating museum with incredibly friendly staff. If you are looking to pass an hour or two and are in the area id definitely suggest swinging by. An added bonus is that you can walk to the zoo from here and make an afternoon out of it

Totally different from the old museum. Its so open and bright with so much to see. Friendly staff who greet you at the entrance with instructions. We went in on a Saturday and it wasnt packed. The kids enjoyed the interactive exhibit. Highly recommend.

Fun, clean and nice workers. We want on a Saturday shortly after they opened and it wasnt too busy, they had hand sanitizer available masks were required throughout and only about 5% of things were closed or not available due to covid. We had a Pogo pass, which I highly recommend because we have five kids and at $12 a pop and a visit to the museum would be pretty pricey. :)

COVID time review. Sanitizer every few feet. Someone meets you at the door to check for masks and give information. The place is very empty so perfect for these times. I went during the week. Do not believe anything less than 4 stars. If you take time to absorb and read the history on each exhibit and presentation it’s very worth it. I took so many pics but they do not do it justice. Great to bring little ones but also great for a daytime date with the spouse.

I really enjoyed this museum it speaks for itself with so much history and beautiful art and so much more! It was awesome!

Very interesting museum. Was there to see the exhibit Love is Blind. It was fabulous.People now a days take their vision for granted. I know i did.It was sad and happy at the same time. Love the staff they were very helpful with our group from the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center in Austin, TX.We all have vision disabilities from visually impaired to totally blind.They accommodated us very well. Great staff!

Great visit, count around 1 to 1h30 for the visit, the local is well maintained. A place to visit during rainy days or if you still have time during your trip in SA.

Cocktails & Culture are always a great date night! Love these events !

Ive been coming here since my 29yr old son was in a stroller. 24yr old daughter as well. Unfortunately during this Rona 2020 fiasco. I was completely disappointed at the museum.. Closed exhibits. Changed exhibits. Face masks on already dead dinosaurs?? We have lost a generation.. Unfortunately San Antonio has become a communist stronghold and I see little way out.. If youve never been here, Its worth a visit. If youve been here before, U will be left disappointed. Plotted. Scouts Out.

First time visiting since I was a kid the employees were knowledgeable, everything was super clean and over all had a great experience

I wasnt quite sure what to expect. It isnt large but it does have attractive grounds. Exhibits are mildly interesting. It serves its purpose as a moderately sized science/historical museum for local residents. Admission is just 14 bucks, a bargain compared to most museums around the country so its hard to really complain. Give yourself an hour.

Lots of great things to look at. See something new every time we come. My favorite hall is the ancient civilizations on the second floor focused on the trans pecos area. Love to sit down and watch the movie on the wide virtual screen. Museum is well laid out and has a few new additions since we last visited. We also liked the new lion hall on the second floor...although Im not sure what it has to do with Texas?

Awesome place. Went last summer before Covid, so cannot attribute to how they are dealing with the pandemic. Great place for the whole family, there are lots of things to do for the kids and adults.

This was a great museum, specially because it was free of charge! On Tuesdays after 3pm you can go in free of charge and its open until 8pm, there was a lot of nice areas outside to sit and take photos and for the kids to play. The museum was clean and beautiful, it was amazing to see the dinosaur bones and the taxidermy animals, there was also a lot of fun free activities for kids too, and even if you choose to to go on a day that its not Tuesday the regular fee is 5 dollars which is not bad. Worth checking out if you ha e about 2-3 hours and want to do something free with the family or as a date.

The place was really clean and modern it gave a you an opportunity to view short clips and information of all the exhibits. At your pace and it was well out, the only issues was for me was that I thought it would be larger but it almost felt that as soon as I went in I was already done looking at all there was to view. But it was a really nice place to visit.

I was pleasantly surprised when I visited the Witte Museum. During this Covid period, And very hot day in San Antonio, it was a pleasant calming Experience. It’s a beautiful museum. In addition, the Witte Museum had a display of the Fiesta Royalty gowns. Beautiful

Very nice. Great displays, interactive displays and more than you would expect! Very beautiful

At this Museum its where you find the ancient ancestry of Texas and surrounding areas where you find the history of prehistory and see fossils of dinosaurs and animals that roamed in the countrysides around us or you can sit in areas and see videos and hear audios of more information on the topics where youre standing at. the atmosphere is calm, family mingling to one side of the museum to the other you go in and out of buildings and to nature walk outside and up a treehouse if you want the kids love the HEB three story discovery area and basement for toddlers there is an area where you pay an extra additional to see more history stuff thats temporary and changes on a basis. And of course your Museum Store gift shop on your way out.

Great place to see interesting stuff, cool stuff & awsome stuff.

Best collection of dinosaur bones Ive seen in Texas. Love all the quetzalcoatlus they have on display. Really wish the Alamosaurus was there and not just referenced.

Very beautiful building and cool fossils in the main entryway. Despite the huge building, the museum feels fairly small. Theres a section on Texas fauna, and San Antonio history like cowboys and the flour mill but that was about it. Very well constructed though and good exhibits, if were looking at quality over quantity. The fossils were definitely my favorite part. The back outdoors area is really nice and provides some good spots for reflection and resting your feet, but again theres not much out there which I had hoped there would be.

It was a great experience! I havent been since I was younger...Im glad I got to revisit it again

Amazing museum. So much attention to detail. A wonderful place for children. Exhibits change regularly. This is so worth visiting. A family annual pass is only $95, and is totally worth it.

The best place to chill with family and children. It’s huge. It has many interesting things such as dinosaurs lab, survival exhibit(not included in normal admission.) it’s worth money for the trip.

Ok so the good. It has gotten better. They did a facelift to the place a few years ago and it greatly expanded the museum. The grounds are nice and well taken care of. The staff is great. Lots of cool stuff to see. Now the bad, it’s bigger then it was but it’s still small. So much of it hasn’t changed and so there isn’t much the pulls me to go back more then once every few years. But what is there is great, I just want more.

It has been quite some time since me and my family have visited this wonderful museum. Today was father and daughter time since it is currently Spring Break. We pretty much spent the whole day just enjoying every display and enjoying the walk around the grounds. There is too much going on at the museum to see in one day!If you actually want to enjoy and have good memories, then I highly recommend going there a few times. The children will enjoy the time spent at each activity display because I know I was exhausted from just being there. I realized how some of the older displays are now gone and leaves me wondering if they should have stayed. I remember going on several Field Trips from elementary school and about all the memorable experiences I had back when I was a young child. Now i get to excitingly show my six year old daughter the many beautiful sights i have visited over the years.All of the staff members that I actually interacted with, made our visit very pleasant just by answering our questions. I realize on how and why they put in new displays, just wish they had kept some of them. Well we loved how the whole place was in excellent and very clean shape. Thus making our overall experience a wonderful family time. I highly recommend this museum for a wonderful experience and many pleasant memories waiting to happen.

Great atmosphere and really cool events for kids. I went for a wedding initially and was blown away at how beautiful the place was.

Kids had a great experience here. There were taxonomy of animals and artifacts from Texas in the main building. We especially love the HEB building which educated us all about health. There was a museum educator there showing the kids an interactive anatomy display, and educating them something in regards to what their interests were. There are also outdoor stuff such as rock climbing to try at not extra charge. It was right by the river.

The staff was friendly and the place was very clean. A lot of interactive displays, great for children. It is not large compared to other museums, but our group loved the dinosaur displays!

1 of the best museums ever visited while out of town. We all were VERY impressed with all the interactions available. We all learned so much & really took our time with this visit. Great job to the ones behind the scene of all the displays & set up. Well thought out!

Have you seen it? In is beautiful. The exhibits are amazing

The dinosaurs are definitely fun! The 3D touchscreens that show the facts about each one were a hit with my 7 year old. Fun Dino dig area too.Landscaping is absolutely beautiful— lots of pretty places to just sit and enjoy beside the river.North American native section was very nice as well with a beautiful short film showing on a panoramic screen.

Very impress with the dinosaurs on displace. This is must go to place for kids and adults which is situated right nearby the zoo

A great museum that highlights the history of Texas in a multitude of ways. From art to natural history and childrens health it makes for a good day with the family. The scenery is top notch since the gardens and outdoor exhibits are located on the San Antonio river.

We went on Tuesday (3-8 is free) for special exhibits, there is a charge. Free parking, cameras allowed I know you can take an ice chest for a lunch pic nik but Id call and ask about the specifics and rules.Great staff, clean environment, clean restrooms. TREE HOUSE was a big hit for my 4 & 5 year old boys. The newly renovated Museum looks very nice.

Definitely a highlight or my time in San Antonio. Beautiful campus with great exhibits throughout that appeal to a wide variety. Cannot recommend enough!

Interesting diversity of content and context. Maybe a little too diverse, at least for my tastes. The H.E.B. Body Adventure didnt seem to fit and in with the overall Texas heritage and history themes, for example. Still an interesting museum and beautiful grounds. Good place for kids and adults alike. Numerous interactive exhibits for kids.

Amazing museum!We went on a Tuesday after 3:00PM when admission was free. The Mythical Creatures exhibit was especially cool. The outdoor areas are very nice to walk around in.

The museum was a nice place to visit, but a lot of the activities were closed

My daughter had a great time. Beautiful museum with interactive exhibits. We didn’t have time to explore the whole museum because it was so big. The special planet pioneers exhibit was nice but there were too many people and you had to wait in line to interactive with the exhibits. The body museum was very nice.

Whenever we visit this museum we have a great experience. The staff is very friendly. They have different exhibitions during the year. I think it’s great for the kids and the whole family in general.

Staff is helpful and friendly, lots of activities for kids and interesting exhibits for adults. You can definitely spend a few hours here and still not see everything.

This is such an awesome museum experience! Its gorgeous here! Theres lots to see that you absolutely need more than one day! The dinosaurs are my favorite ! Timeless! Its just amazing coming here! It was my first time and it definitely wont be me my last! Many levels and each exhibit is just delightful! The outside area is definitely my favorite as well! Gorgeous! Thanks for an amazing experience!

Beautiful museum, kids loved it. They are taking all the precautions, impressive. Very spacious, not crowded at all. Nice gift shop.

My 2 year old absolutely loves this place! Lots of interactive exhibits (huge plus.) Everything here is about Texas from native wild life to the old Western way of life. They even have the dinosaur fossils that were native to this region millions of years ago! We go every Tuesday and I feel as though we always find out something new!

Loved going here as a kid, still enjoy all the exhibits.

A gem of a museum that we discovered during out trip to San Antonio. Everything on one campus. Integrated with the zoo nearby.

We had great time here. Our 8 year old really enjoyed all the hands on activities. It took us about 3 hours to visit each attraction.

My favorite museum of all time. Cant wait to go again. I loved it

Well designed and interactive museum. Loved the exhibits and atmosphere. Its fun for everyone.

Went to see the Mythical Creatures exhibit. I have been to the Witte many times, but my friends have never been. The staff was amazing and didnt give us a hard time about our service animals. They were very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the museum! Always something new to learn when I go!

The Witte Museum exceeded our expectations! They recently underwent renovations in 2017 and the new exhibits are really well done. We enjoyed the dinosaur exhibits and the science treehouse. Great value for the price. There is no restaurant, but they have a market building with snacks and tables.

We had a fantastic time here! We will be returning for sure. Interactive learning and lots of different tours, activities and experiences for the kids.

Was an amazing day!! The displays were educational, engaging, and fresh!

Pandemic hours be warned. due to the pandemic I assume that the hours may have been altered. I called to verify hours of operation. Just to find out upon arrival that the hours had been cut and that we had like 45 minutes. Its a little hard to make it through the entire Witte and 45 minutes. That said, the big cat exhibit is wonderful.

Beautiful natural history museum with lots of regional artifacts and special exhibitions that get switched around occasionally. Their level of craft and technology works great with the space and the grounds and building are beautiful. You can learn lots about Texas history before modern settlers and experience amazing dioramas of Texas wildlife. Another great San Antonio Museum stop.

We really liked this museum. It was a combination of history, national geography, medical knowledge. I had a great time with my two kids and they enjoyed a lot. If we live near from the Witte museum, we 100 percent are going to register membership. Good atmosphere and nice staffs are one of the good points that I like this place. I strongly recommend all of you should visit here.

I went here because of my school, and it has a lot of Texan history. If you want to study some Texan history or if you have students and want them to learn a lot about Texan history, then Id recommend this place because theres so much stuff to see and so much to do (of course only come here if you are close or are in San Antonio, Texas). So if youre in San Antonio, Texas. Then you should visit this place

We were in town visiting from Alaska, and staying nearby. We decided to visit during a Tuesday which happened to be during the free admission time. We took our 6 year old daughter, and werent sure what she would think of the exhibits beyond the dinosaurs. To my surprise she loved it all including the Texas history. I was so happy to see so many families visiting during our time there. What a wonderful museum, and amazing donors that make the free admission slot possible on Tuesdays.

Great place for kids and adults. Great exhibits to learn more about Texas and its history and animals. Also had a special exhibit for kids with mystical creatures.

Fun place. Some sections are better for young children than others. However, it was very entertaining for my 3 and 5 year old. Lots of learning about Texas past and present. We even got to see a radio telescope use live to look at a black hole.

Take your kids, nieces, nephews, grandkids, neighbors kids!!! They will love this place! I enjoyed the interactive displays. My favorite was the Sounds of Texas narrated by George Strait.

Awesome experience took my little girl here shes not even 2 yet and she had such a blast . My mom had season passes and its worth it .Cool little activities like brushing off dirt and finding fossils. The museum is getting so much bigger. Would definitely go back for a visit.

This museum is a very pleasant attraction with a good variety of exhibits. Very unique displays and interesting information provided. An excellent introduction to the areas history, landscape, flora, and fauna. Some easy improvements could make the museum experience better.

The Witte Museum is a fun place to visit for kids and adults. It cover a lot of Texas history. From Dinosaurs, Indians, Settlers, Wars, Wildlife to Modern day living. It also has fun activities for the kiddos.

I love this place, I have had the opportunity to visit with my granddaughter and young cousin, always someone available to answer questions

Great place to visit with kids, many exhibits. Staff was very friendly, patient and help to my 9 year old who was asking a million different questions. They loved the HEB area with the rock wall and sky bike

This is one of the places in America that would be very interesting, especially for the young and young at heart people, and all who have more interest on San Antonio history!It is located on 3801 Broadway Street, San Antonio, TX 78209It is important to inquire in advance the schedule of exhibitions and choose what will be most interesting for you .

I went to the aerospace exhibits and they were very informative and hands on! I took my kids on a Tuesday when its free from 3 to 8 but you still have to pay for whatever current exhibit is on display, I paid $5 a person. It was worth it ten times over! We had a blast learning about space and its pros and cons of living outside of earth. This museum is beautiful and suits every childs curiosity; from dinosaurs to the way the body works. The only problem I had was parking; it was a mess, be careful!

Witte Museum is always being an awesome place for kids and adults

There is so much to see and to learn. Go on Tuesday between 3-8pm. Its free to get in. You will definitely enjoy it.

I really enjoyed it. Definitely will come back again for the insect spectacular

What a great place to go had lots of fun there are so many exhibits.There is a garden outside,and like they have people there cleaning the doors.Very friendly people it took us like an hour and half to see everything.

A great place to have fun and learn about survival.

We had a blast today, There wasnt that many people so it was perfect to walk around with my grandparents and son.

Nice to walk around with the family and free for kids under 3

I havent been to the Witte museum since they did all of the renovations and work. That was years ago. They have redone everything, its interactive and more hands on. My Girlfriend and I were driving around and found ourselves in that area know she wanted a date day I knew this would be perfect, I pulled into the parking lot quickly, she freaks out and says are we going in here, and I said yep. We walk in and there are Dinosaurs in the front lobby Awesome!!!! Well I dont want to ruin it for you, go check it out. Perfect date spot.

We love it

Such a fun place for kids of all ages. Lots of different hands on activities throughout the museum. One could easily spend all day at this museum. We just paid the general admission and didnt do the upgrade they try to sell you on when you arrive at the front desk. Dont forget to go outside in the back. There are so many other activities out there also. We cant wait to go back.

The Witte is a local institution consistently providing a great place for educational art. The museum is very kid friendly and promotes engagement with the displays. Although I miss the character of the older building, a recent renovation updated the place for the better. Parking is a bit confusing the first time you visit but follow the signs and it will be no problem. This is a wonderful place to visit with children o spend a few hours learning about Texas life from thousands of years ago to the present collections and science displays.

This museum is an awesome place to take the kids. There is a lot to see and explore. Unique exhibits and art along with things for the kids to get on and actually touch unlike your traditional museums. While it is expensive, hop on Groupon and take advantage of the savings while you can!

Great experience for people of all ages! The museum has interactive learning and educational/historical movies also. They also have exhibits that change every few months to keep it exciting! Make sure to bring your camera! There’s so much to see and do. Also it’s located next to the Breckinridge park so a picnic is always a great idea!

We always have a great time learning and discovering! Took my 4 year old niece to the doseum and enjoyed the dinosaur exhibition. My husband asked her favorite part of the day and she said.....The Shops which were great and affordable!

Educational. Lots of artifacts. Lots of parking. Beautiful scenery.

One-of-a-kind museum, not to be missed! We recently moved to San Antonio and this museum was one of our first stops. I cant recommend it highly enough! A recent redesign has updated the museum with interactive exhibits, tons of Texas history, genius audio and video displays and so much more. DO NOT miss this great museum in San Antonio!

This place is very peaceful, great exhibits. Fun and amazing information, love the movies. The sky is a great view.

The museum is awesome. My son and I had a great time. We visited the Dinosaur exhibit. It is beautiful. In the back of the exhibit there is a dinosaur the children can climb on and take.we were there when it opened. Thats the best time to go. We were able to enjoy the exhibit. We were able to enjoy the rest of the museum. The HEB tree house is open. Over all we had a great time.

Awesome place... Wish I could have taken my 5 year old, but I was in town for work. Very pretty grounds, cool prehistory exhibits, fun science building with interactive activities.

My fav SA museum...lots to see, super clean and great staff that are knowledgeable about the exhibits and are enthusiastic to share with you

Awesome if you want a small, pleasurable and informative experience for the family without having to fight the masses. Perhaps because it is quite pricey? Our kids, 8 and 11 loved it. Would return with pleasure, but after some time so it doesnt get boring.

The experience was really wonderful I loved the different fact that they took Texas and divided up into categories and in each category there was the panhandle the gulf coast excetera and the animals that live there and are currently living there and give them a natural-looking scenery. It was really cool and I thoroughly

Beautiful museum, grandkids loved it. They are taking all the precautions, impressive. Very spacious, not crowded at all. Nice gift shop.

Very nice museum. Especially after the renovations. Very well put together.

This museum has a constantly evolving showcase of exhibits. Every time I go, I see something new. Get the membership, its worth it.

Itd been a while since Id been to a museum but I think this one helped reignite that thirst for knowledge and curious mind. Every exhibit had plenty of details and kept everyone engaged and eager to learn more. Loads of different exhibits and experiences for everyone to enjoy.

Beautiful, clean , museum! Its very well taken care of. My son loved the dinosaurs, and the childrens explore area.

A great place to learn about the animals and people that were native to Texas.

Oh my it had been about over 12yrs since I last been to this museum and I am so amazed by the renovations. I just took my daughters here on a Tuesday. ITS FREE EVERY TUESDAY 3P-8P FOR ADULTS AND KIDS!! There was so many parts in there. We walked around for 4hrs and still couldnt finish touring every section and building the museum has to offer. Needless to say we will be going back to finish our adventure!!!

A lot to see about Texas. I need another day to see more. I enjoyed it. Its worthwhile to spend time here learning about our state.

A very nice perfectly adequate museum.
