Brazosport Museum of Natural Science is located on the Brazosport College campus, inside a complex that houses two performing art theaters, a small gallery of local artists' work.This is a great museum along the gulf coast. It’s worth the visit. There’s minerals, dinosaur fossils, sea shells and great taxidermy of the local wildlife. The staff is very nice! Admission to the museum is free. I highly recommend stopping even if you just passing through.
