So much fun for the whole family! Even on a busy holiday weekend, the wait for tickets and the crowd was manageable. I loved the Houston museum of natural science when I was a kid & it was really cool going back as an adult. I feel like there is so much more that they offer now! Do be aware that the rotating exhibits & butterfly center & planetarium all cost extra. Come early if you don't want to pay for the parking garage.
We showed up as soon as they opened, at 9am. They’ve done a wonderful job with updating the museum. It’s been several years since I’ve been there. We actually decided to get a membership this year because my kiddos are old enough now. I’d highly recommend getting there early no lines, bringing your own food and water, and prepay for your tickets. We’re really excited to go back and check out the other exhibits later in the year and next year. The shark exhibit wasn’t worth the money and the space exhibit was basically a back room in the lower lobby. Lol. Not that I care, because the moon landing never happened. The butterfly exhibit was really cool. The additions that they’ve made to this was great to see. My kiddos loved it.
This museum will always be a hit for me. I love the atmosphere and the amazing customer service. Only advice I give people is to buy your tickets in advance, especially on the weekends because they will sell out for their temporary exhibits. Also the lines on the weekends are huge so be prepared for that. The permanent exhibits are amazing and the food court is okay. We had the pleasure to see a movie in their planetarium called passport to the universe, the experience was lovely and something I definitely recommend if you get a chance to. Overall I always love the experience I get here!
It’s a great place for anyone to come inside afor a respite from the weather—and a great way to spend the day. The King Tut exhibit was much smaller than expected. Egyptian exhibit outside King Tut was more exciting. The regular exhibits are always a delight. Planetarium shows are a good variation and time selection. Three hour parking available nearby. Parking garage is $30 for non-members and $10 for members. Staff everywhere is always so courteous.
Great museum, lots to see. We went for the King Tut exhibit. The actual King Tut sarcophagus is a replica but it's still very interesting. The butterfly room is definitely worth the visit. Two places to get food, for a museum restaurant the food is good. Don't forget to pay for parking before you leave the garage. Pretty easy to find, there's a couple of rotarys on the way which are a bit weird. The staff is all very friendly and helpful. Wear comfortable shoes there's a lot to see so you'll be on your feet a lot.
Pretty cool place, honestly would give it a 5 star but you have to spend a lot extra when entering to see some of the exhibits and I just am not a big fan of that. The place is very beautiful and well maintained though. Customer service was kinda garbage, definitely recommend on the city pass! The gem room was by far the coolest part of the museum I think.
The special exhibition of royal jewelry is amazing. Don’t miss out! It’s my first time to witness the Russian egg sculpture with fantastic craftsmanship. Also, there is a high jewelry room at the end of the Gem stone exhibition. The dark room really help appreciate the shiny jewelry. I love the Sapphire necklace there.
It was truly amazing, so many exhibits to see and not enough time to get through all of them. Each exhibit has a cost of its own. I did the Butterfly exhibit, Regular exhibit and the Shark exhibit. The regular exhibit has the Dinosaurs and Egyptian history. It was great to see paleontologists there to answer any questions. The butterfly was very beautiful and loved the interaction with the different species of butterflies. The shark exhibit was great, you get to touch a little shark! I would go back to try the space exhibit.
I attended the evening Mixers & Elixirs event at the museum. This was the last event of the summer & I'm disappointed that it's my first time coming out! Great crowd, good drinks, beautiful exhibits, and entertaining karaoke made the night worthwhile. Food trucks added to the fun! I'll definitely put this event on my list for next summer!
Took my niece here for our first time here, and it's was so interesting. Kids friendly, and she was able to touch everything. It's a very interactive museum and she asked a lot of questions. We saw dinosaurs, animals, bugs and played outer space games. Bathrooms are available everywhere and water fountains for drinking and filling your personal bottle. Highly recommend getting a membership pass. Parking is available but free parking isn't in the garage. The butterfly exhibit was magical. Do NOT touch the bugs otherwise you'll be kicked out just like a family we saw today. Safe, fun and educational.
