What travellers are saying
- RftstarVerona, WI205 contributionsThe Museum is part of the City Pass so my husband, adult son and I decided to visit. Loved the various exhibits - most memorable was the King Tut/Egyptian floor, mineral/gem area and the Energy Exhibit on the 4th floor. Plan on a good 3 hours if your group wants to review most areas.Written 17 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ambassador435631United States11 contributionsWe spent 4-6 hours but you could easily spend multiple days here. So much to see and learn, and just marvel at what was accomplished through the Space program. The kids could see the size of the shuttles used, the size of the engines, it was amazing. It was very crowded and hardly any place to sit and eat, but you can expect that because it is a very popular destination.Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RftstarVerona, WI205 contributionsIt doesn't matter what type of art you like, there is a lot of something for everyone. By far the largest collection of art I have seen in one place. Plan on spending at a minimum a few hours upwards to a full day to get through everything.Written 17 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RftstarVerona, WI205 contributionsBeing in the middle of the city, this was a fairly expansive zoo and the animals were very active while we were there with the sunny and 60 degree weather.

- Marissa L3 contributionsExcellent Shopping experience with a ton of options. It can get overwhelming if you don't know which shops you want to head to as the mall is huge. They have plenty of online directories in the mall to help. Loved the ice skating rink and the 3 story Christmas tree.Written 6 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sharon M1 contributionFor the past five years (with the exception of the crazy lockdown) we have traveled from San Antonio to Houston to enjoy these marvelous performances. They never disappoint.
We look forward to future shows at the new venue.Written 20 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bradley SimsJeffersontown, KY21 contributionsCertainly worth a visit if you have children below ages of I would say like 10. Good selection of activities for kids, most of them were based on concepts of science or technology which is great for kids these days. My child who is 3 years old had a blast in the exhibits and games. They also have a toddler area but I wish they had more sensory activities and other activities for the little ones. You can actually spend more than 4 hours there and as an adult, i found a lot of things entertaining and educationalWritten 29 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 606susanPhiladelphia, PA8 contributionsThis collection has many pieces of artwork that we have never seen.

- littlemtePort Orchard, WA7 contributionsI only visited the butterfly center at the HMNS. I enjoyed it! It was a beautiful setting and very peaceful. the waterfall was a really nice feature. It was an educational experience with lots of great information. The kids seemed to love seeing all the butterflies. There are not so many in there that they land on you a lot like some other Butterfly exhibits I have been to.
it was a great way to spend an hour or so.
NOTE FOR THE BUTTERFLY CENTER:
There was one attendant I saw touching the butterflies and getting them to move and fly. There seemed to be no compelling reason to touch them other than to 'play' with them. The staff uniforms are pretty non-descript so I didn't realize they were an employee. I told her, " I don't think you are meant to be touching the butterflies," she waved her radio at me to indicate she worked there. She told me, "we just tell the kids that,". I only bring this up as it sets an example for other visitors and kids that see that and think it's OK to do the same. If you don't want people to walk around touching the butterflies, the staff probably should leave them alone too.Written 4 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We attended competitions on tie down roping, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, also female tie down roping.

- wireless_in_CAUnited States4,720 contributionsFirst time I came on my own and it was closed for some reason so second time with the family we entered.
We had to go through security metal detectors and bags inspected. No guns, pepper spray allowed inside.
Admission was reasonable and children 18 or younger were free. Parking was $8.
The free guided tour was already full so we decided to wander around on our own. There was the main Holocaust section, an outdoor memorial, Family Memorial Room and two special exhibits on Human Rights and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG).
I was admired RBG and they did a great overview of her life and accomplishments.
No photos were allowed in the permanent Holocaust gallery. Exhibits, photos and artifacts from survivors or their families that came to Houston were informative and a lot of reading. A rail car (similar vintage to ones used to take people to the camps) and even a boat (used in rescues) were installed inside the museum.
One unique exhibit was a virtual conversation with a Holocaust survivor.
A worthwhile museum to visit in Houston.Written 18 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The rooms were set up as they had been used by Ima Hogg over the years. Learned some new things that I hadn’t seen in other home tours.
Gardens were nice, the azaleas weren’t blooming as they bloomed earlier in the year but can imagine how beautiful they would be. It made for a nice stroll viewing some of the statues and fountains.Written 30 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
