This museum is fantastic! So many great exhibits for all ages and I love that it's a reciprocal museum so our passes work here. Almost every exhibit is in working order. The bubble room was a huge hit.

This was an amazing museum. Our kids (age 4 and 7) had such an incredible time. So much for them to do and learn. They had a blast.

I had a fantastic time visiting the Mayborn Museum. The displays are well-done, and I enjoyed the different natural sciences rooms although they are not as detailed in explanations as other museums. The top floor is definitely a highlight for children - the interactive activities are abundant and look like a lot of fun for kids of all ages. Parking is also very convenient in the campus lots. They accept all major credit cards.

This is a great place to learn something new or teach the kids something new. I do love train history. Even though the model is nice, more information would get me to come back sooner. One area has an old-school oddities area. If you have kids under five there is an area just for those kids.

This is a great museum. We got in FREE with our Perot Museum of Nature and Science membership. Tons of open space and lots of interesting exhibits, most of which were in good working order. I personally thought the SpaceX exhibit could have been way cooler. There were a few other exhibits that just didn’t make sense like the big interactive water table didn’t seem interactive at all and wreaked of chlorine bleach. Our child loved the Texas cave exhibit and went back to it over and over. The historic village was a nice feature too and the gift shop was extra cool, especially a cracked geode right in front of you for only $7, I could come back just for that.
