Love this museum - This museum is beautifully maintained! There are so many things to do and see inside! The dinasour exhibit was phenomenal;) The only problem that should be noted up front is the school trips and days they usually come. There were so many unruly children running through the museum that we felt like we could not enjoy it.

Pricey but worth it - We mostly went for the Audubon exhibit which was quite impressive and unique. And the Fabergé collection and the Texas wildlife proved to be nice extra bonuses as was the mineral vault. The movie was a pretty clear rip-off as this is far from an IMAX presentation and the film was a 1994 James Earl Jones narrated version of the Serengeti which I've seen on TV more than once and it is so dated that it should be pulled. The package was $72 for two seniors which was far more than the value!

Great exhibits, big hit on your wallet. - A very good learning place about TX and the oil business and other from of power, ie Wind, solar, Hydro and Nuclear. Also you can see the king tut mummies and other objects from 5000 years ago. Were you also you could see the Faberge eggs and other jewelry items on display? $50 got use both in but there were a lot of side exhibits and shows which were all at an extra cost, some of them quite pricey. If you come as a family, you’re gonna lose an arm and a leg for the prices.

Too crowded by field trippers!!! - This museum is very beautifully maintained. The only problem we had was there were so many children on field trips being improperly chaperoned. We should have been warned in reviews as to stay away from Wednesday to Fridays! If you want to soak in this museum go on Mondays or Tuesdays or fight the field trips the other days!
