Not worth $7 7/7/2008

Beautiful building, and the Imax is nice, but do not expect to find Texas history the way you learned it in school, or expect to learn anything new. There is definately a REVISED history told here with a slant. more

Great 12/3/2002

Everything is beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the movies are great... I don't recommend coming to see an IMAX movie in the morning on a weekday, though.. there are usually lots of school groups visitiing. Pros: good value, educational, exciting Cons: can be crowded, good parking more

bad, bad, bad 11/20/2002

the content is not that interesting, the display lights often block the placards so you cannot read descriptions without moving around a lot. it's just not that good. i think the institute of texan cultures in san antonio is better, even though the bullock museum does have more current/recent-event items Pros: in austin Cons: ostentatious more

Awful !!!! 9/25/2002

The worst museum I've ever visited, and I've seen a lot. It's tiny, has barely any decent objects, and woeful displays. Don't go, trust me. Pros: Easy parking, Sounds interesting Cons: Pathetic displays, Really boring!!!! more

More Than a ""Quick Trip"" 9/1/2002

It could take days to fully explore all that's offered here (although that could get a bit of expensive). Great, varied exhibits. Pros: Variety of Exhibits, It's Texas, It's #1, Central Location Cons: Tickets a little high, Crowded more

It's culture 6/27/2002

The museum is interesting, but not worth the entrance fee. The IMAX on the other hand definitely earns it's ticket price. All in all it's a good place to find wholesome fun and add a little culture to your life. more

Star is born 5/16/2002

Leave it to Texas to fit as many stars as possible into one building. Don't get me wrong, the IMAX theater is very cool, but this museum seems more like a ""Hooray for Texas"" place rather than a ""History of Texas"" place. more
