Good place to get the kids out

Great place

Angelina Gibbs

Very valuable to our community. We are all in this life together, that's what art and museums teach us. We need to live, love each other or we are all going to be extinct.

Cindy Gordon

It is always a great deal of fun and very informative to visit The Ranch and Heritage Center at the Texas Tech Museum. If you're a resident of Lubbock or just visiting this is a must-see. Be sure to check for special events like the candlelight tour around the Christmas season it's exquisite!

Doug Singer

Very educational

Laura Aguilar

Excellent front desk informative

Danna Leann Lamb-Vines

Great world class exhibits. Natural and human history, modern and Western art, special exhibitions, now one on the photography of Russell Lee from his 1940 New Deal FSA photography of Pie Town, New Mexico and much more. It captivated David and I for a good 2 hours.

Sharper Lance

Well worth the visit if in the area.

Larry Wilmot

Nice museum. Special exhibitions are always good. The perminant stuff is guite interesting though not very focused. Hey but it's free yeah.

Kristi Ethridge

My Pre-K team took our Pre-K students to the Ranching Heritage Center on a field trip. They LOVED it! During our Texas unit, we talked about early settlers in Texas, and how there was no running water, electricity, or indoor toilets. We talked about the dirt floor houses, no washing machines, or refrigerators, etc. This is something difficult for a Pre-K student to picture in their head, because all they've ever known is modern living. Our students loved the actual visualization, and the freedom of movement..... walking, skipping, galloping between the buildings. This was a perfect field trip for 4-year olds! ❤️

Jennifer Taylor Monteagudo

It was a pleasant surprise. I can not wait to visit once the planned updates are complete.

Texas MammaJ

My family LOVES this place. Leisurely stroll back in time, on your own pace. Outdoor bathroom and benches throughout.

joel howard

Very cool! Fun to see and experience the history of cattle in the US. Lots of work! Hats off to the good folks who have brought this together and continue to expand the offerings. Really enjoyed it all!

Will W

Some areas closed. We loved the chess exhibit!

Jaime Rodriguez

good museum in Lubbock. It's free

Teena Jepperson

Love it

Angela Mohle

Staff is incredibly helpful, exhibits are not the same old stuff you see everywhere else. Extensive dino exhibit. Didn't have as much time as I wanted to look around but really enjoyed the time I was able to spend. One of the must-dos if you're in Lubbock.

Debra Lewis

What a wonderful museum. You will need several hours to cover it well. Do not miss the outdoor exhibits of TX history and wonderful display of how the lived.This museum is free to the public. We did not see the planetarium so I cannot comment. The museum has lots of really interesting exhibits. When we visited, several areas were roped off or closed, so we were done in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Vanessa Gast

A Great way to get lost in history!

William Rooslet

Very nice museum, enjoyed a lot of the exhibits...

Edward James

I've been visiting the TTU Museum since i was a child, and it has yet to lose my interests. I love this place. The staff is very friendly, and they continually have new exhibits annually.

Tony Vargas

This place is free admission so there's no excuse not to go there. They have some really extraordinary pieces of art that you must see, and read some of the paintings they have. Great place to take the family and teach them a little history.

David Beebe

Great museum. Incredible Planetarium architecture

Seenivasan Hariharan

You can visit the museum if you are in Lubbock. Typically takes an hour's time. You may spend more time if interested. The standard exhibits are about the Ice Age, model skeletons of dinasouros, paintings and photographs of native community or things related to Lubbock and it's history. Grasslands and wildlife photographs are new additions. I could not visit the planetarium during all three visits.

Crispylama

Michelle Jones

Very interesting place to visit!

Dennis Sever

Oh yeah, if you are interested in rural history (or were raised in 40's or 50's rural America), you need to see Dr. Marian Ann Montgomery's "Cotton and Thrift" exhibit. In addition, there are other exhibits of dinosaurs and early mammals, Native American art, pottery and textiles, a great collection of Chess sets and some really nice Western art.

Atinder Ahluwalia

Awesome place for history seekers.

A great place to go with grandkids!

Manuel Chavez

Fun to learn about the past

Drew Dittmer

I have taken my daughter here a couple of times. I also have visited on my own. I really like the Dinosaur exhibit, it is small but very informative. This museum has much more than natural history exhibits, and appeals to many different interests. I hope the citizens of Lubbock recognize the value of this museum and support it through the forseable future.

Nathan Shrode

Great local history and rotating exhibits. Oh, and dinosaurs!

Linda Carrizales

The family lived coming here and will definitely be going again soon

Average review for and average park. Lots of long-term and narrow slots. No pool or other amenities. OK for a one night pass through.

Jackie Thorn

Huge with lots of different pieces, great staff full of information, planetarium was cozy with pleasant instructor

AP Krahl

A wealth of information displayed but unorganized slightly. I would prefer more natural history. 3 exhibits are 5 star and 4 were 2 star in my opinion.

Mary Jarvis

Excellent survey of western art ..including Georgia Okeefe. I love the way the museum has honored the American women fiber artists/seamstresses of quilts. My Aunt Opal Bulls Adamson was a seamstress and quilt maker in Lubbock 1930-80’s.

Saundra Sanchez

Candlelight At The Ranch is a wonderful tradition that me and my family look forward to each year. It's an experience that is heartwarming plus it teaches the younger generation what life was like back then. It's awesome and I hope this continues for years to come!

J Scott

Best Museum in town. Go for the dinosaur exhibit, stay for the African exotic art.

Patsy Santiago

Awesome place.... first time be there.

Sergio Morales

I liked that it was free and there was alot to read about, But it didnt keep my 9yr old cousin entertained or engaged. I think the layout was confusing.

Jonathan Mathers

Your portrayal of Native American art and the West in general wreaks of colonial undertones. Native American exhibit shows a lack of cultural understanding. Puebloan tribes and other Southwestern peoples such as the Navajo (Dine), are NOT the same and should not be grouped together. They have a conflicted past. Additionally, your display of Lubbock history is shamefully white. There is no mention of the contributions of African Americans or Latino Residents. Lubbock segregation is void from the conversation. This shows in my opinion, poor taste and perpetuates colonial and archaic ideologies. Get with the times.

Pánfilo Sáenz

Awesome!

Wesley Minyard

Great experience. The Ranching Heritage Center was fun

Demetre Velazquez

Cool artifacts and reading. Fun walking with friends or family. Best of all it's free. Highly recommend.

Erik Mora

Always such a great place to go by your self or with friends and family. Love this place

Justin Verdun

My girlfriend and I went to the museum, and it was a fun way to spend a warm afternoon. Plus the museum is free. The light shows and movies are fun as well, and reasonably priced.

Michelle Rodriguez

This is one of my favorite places to bring my kids during the summer to cool down. They always have new exhibits and always very clean. The staff is always friendly. The best place to come and cool down from the summer heat and the kids will enjoy the dinosaur exhibit. Mine love it!

Peggy Perna

Can't wait to take my family.

Isaiah Solis

Great place to see anything from animals to old Lubbock. And fun events.

The Rodriguez Twins

Recently went to the ranching heritage candle light event and it was amazing. It was so cool In seeing the actors dress up and bring the historical building to life. I’ve also been here on the regular days and it’s so fascinating In learning about the history of each house at the museum!! Def it’s a must. You can also enjoy the inside of museum and they have a lot of cool displays about the Native American Cherokee and the cowboys. Also if you are looking to see the 6666 barn it’s a must!! It’s free to visit but you can also donate a few bucks if you can!! Enjoy!

joseph peel

First off its free! Its very nice and they always keep it updated with new exhibits, and the family events they hold are always fun.

Good way to kill a few hours. Travelling exhibits are interesting, and they are working to improve the overall museum

Shuang Jin

I really love the art collections of the theme “Americans going West”.

Jonathan Davis

Exclent museum with a wide array of unique and changing exhibits. Mostly adult friendly but not there that kids might find to be of interest.

Michael Avara

This place is fantastic. There's so little to do in Lubbock, and even less when you have no money. This place is free and informative, and you can take a good hour or so looking at the interesting exhibits. The theater is outstanding as well. My family and I have gone to many shows here over the years.

Damion Bethune

Good

Caitlin Floyd

Great place to bring the kids for free! Highly recommended!

Sandra Garant

This is a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours with old bones, artwork, and special exhibits. I particularly enjoyed the temporary exhibit on chess. I don't even play chess, but the chess sets from around the world were beautifully made. The N.C. Wyeth paintings made to illustrate children's books on exhibit made me want to re-read some of those books. Even if he did not consider his work fine art, the illustrations are attractive and thought-provoking. And worth viewing again and again.
