    5 and 2 yr old favorite places. Always declare, "best day ever". Make a grocery list for dinner to enhance play time. And TALK to the staff. They're smart, great with kids and enhance every trip.

    Also a part of our "Moo-seum Experience," the FWMSH is an interactive venue that includes dinosaur bones, 4D theater, kids activites and Omni IMAX theater. Admission included with FWSSR grounds pass.

    The exhibits are great, and don't miss the omni theater. Makes me feel like a kid again!

    Used to be good. Now it's more about infotainment and the new expansion is a lot of wasted space. Since 2009 have only been a handful of times. The museum preschool thankfully is intact. That's great.

    There are free Star Parties every month featuring telescopes and Noble Planetarium staffers to help navigate you through the night sky. It’s stellar!

    If you live in the area - you must become a member. We have more than gotten our money's worth. Perfect for 100 degree weather and cold rainy weather too.

    The exhibit next to the Planetarium showcases a 400 pound pallasite meteorite from the Brenham field in Kansas. Also located here are an official Sputnik satellite & a Manned Maneuvering Unit replica. Read more

    You learn stuff here, but you have a great deal of fun while doing so... If you are worried of looking nerdy to your date, this local shouldn't be one of your concerns.

    Museum is much different than when I was a kid. Seemed like they had more exhibits the . My daughter loves the children's area. She's worn out when we leave.

    Be sure to talk with the docents and curators. They're great and really enhance the experience for kids.

    I loved this museum a lot more before they renovated it. There's not nearly as much to see or do now and it's way more expensive.

    The DaVinci traveling exhibit is very interesting. This museum has a ton of things for kids, young and old, to do. My 15 yr old daughter had almost as much fun as my 20 month old daughter did.

    Access to the waterpark area through the children's museum area only. There is an age limit unless you are accompanying a child.

    When buying tickets, I was told "Most exhibits are geared toward children". What I should've been told is that it is literally a children's museum. Wasted $30.

    Parking in the garage is convenient but pricey - be advised!
  • Tracy V.
    The museum was more interesting, educational, had more exhibits and sections, AND CHEAPER before the 20.00 admission prices paid for the renovations. Very disappointed.

    Go to the traveling exhibits. Those are always the coolest. Traveling exhibits are the ones that are not permanent.

    Don't get a salad in the cafe they use old salad - leaves you hungry. The kids meals are overpriced and not that much food. Too many daycare field trips - they should try to limit the number of kids.

    Be prepared to wait forever to get in if you aren't a member. Least efficient admissions line ever.
