Reviews of Texas Memorial Museum (Museum)

Alex Parsons

I really enjoyed all the exhibits. There is a lot to look at and it's a fun learning experience. The cool phone feature allows you to dial in and hear more about an exhibit. I will definitely visit again!

Christian Bonson

This place is very historic

Stacie Cooks

Haven’t been here in years but my daughter wanted to come out and I forgot how cool it was when I came before! We had a great time!

Luisa Margarita Rodríguez

It is just an awesome place for the family!!!

Michael Rohrbacher

Awesome collection, very diverse, admission fee is very small and the place is quiet, clean and friendly. My daughter loved all of the dinosaur bones and fossils, of which they have a massive collection.

Diana Yens

wonderful small sized museum on texas natural history, great for adults and 2nd grade and up kids. Younger kids won't enjoy as much I think due to the density of reading and lack of interactive exhibits

This was our first time going here and we had a blast. My daughter loves dinosaurs, so she was super excited to see the mosasaurs fossil. Everything was so clean and very detail oriented. I encourage everyone to go visit this museum. The only thing I didn’t like was there’s only one entrance if you have a stroller.

Beth Platek

Nice small-scale museum with a diverse collection. Each of the galleries are small, but fun to look at. Nice mix of fossils and geology.

Charles Stuart

A wonderful set of dinosaurs and dino bones. Grandchildren enthralled. Very patient and helpful staff

Pablo Diablo

This place rules! OMG, if you love geology, history and just science in general, you will love this place! Gift shop is very reasonable too! Beautiful old building which reeks of awesomeness....love this place!

Barry Wilson

I love this place. A rough gem. Perfect field trip for kids and natural history nerds. Wonderfull Art Deco Building. Too bad UT is letting it run down. Great gem and mineral collection. Real meatorites you can touch! Dinosour bones and great fossils. Natural history diorama is a little sad. Worth the visit.

Jennifer Cortez

I went on a field trip with my son and it was a wonderful place to go. This place is rich in history and knowledge for children who are wondering about this great state of Texas that we love him. Me being an adult I even learned quite a few things on the trip! I highly recommend to go on a visit here.

ricardo miranda

El costo es bajo. Pues no esperes gran cosa.

Na Xeli Gutierrez

Simple and a little but lonely, but enjoyable, I love fossils and minerals, a very lovely lady on the 1st floor can explain you everything you want, entrance is 7 dlls for non college visitors, the art deco architecture and style of the exhibition its like traveling in time

Mitch-Ulises III

It was OK ....no big deal but for the price I guess it was alright ....very old museum

Dave B

An excellent collection of bones, fossils, gems, and Texas life. It takes about 60 to 90 minutes to walk the whole museum. I would say the cost of admission is worth it.

Christy Horton

if you like rocks and dinosaurs, this is the place for you!

Joel H

Overlooked gem excellent museum.

Nelson Yoh

A place not to be missed. Well done!

AnaBelle Saucedo

Great place to visit. Lots of interesting things to see. Parking isn't very good since it is within UT limits.

Ash Arav

Things keep changing. Wasn’t that good as we visited in May 2018 than November 2017

Awesome

C3micalPrisoner

It hasn't changed since I was a kid. A lot of the same stuff. It's interesting to just look around, not a lot of interactive stuff but it's okay if you want to kill time.

James E

A great little museum right on the University of Texas campus. It's within walking distance of several other great landmarks and it has a great collection of Texas historical artifacts. It's just enough to satiate your interests but not enough that you need to spend an entire day to see it all. As a Texas enthusiast I've visited multiple times and always enjoy the exhibits.

Julio Garcia

So many historical features! Cool!

Dug Schulz

A little small but perfect for your kid's short attention span. Interactive exhibits, reasonably priced. Cash only and pay parking (parking takes credit)

Travis Salas Cox

Great little place for science lovers. And just like the doctor who's tardis, much bigger than you would think on the inside.

Maria Estrella

(Translated by Google) A very interesting place where you will discover fossil remains from different geological eras (Original) Un lugar muy interesante en el cual descubrirás restos fósiles de distintas épocas geológicas

Connor Reid

Texas Memorial Musuem is a great place to take children, good gift shop and a lot to see. Check out Texas Memorial Museum when you have s chance.

Robert R

Visiting this museum was an absolute blast! The exhibits were thoughtfully constructed and presented the natural history of Texas in an engaging format suited for visitors of all ages. The entrance fee was remarkably low and the staff friendly. Also, it was refreshing to see evolution talked of as a fact.

Alejandra Levy

Love this museum. It is small so perfect for taking small children or lots of children. They have cool dinosaur phones and one of the floor has a lots of specimens in bottles. Kids love the gift shop.

Brandy

This place is small, definitely not for an all day excursion. The exhibits are interesting and informative though!

Jorge Vazquez

Really nice place!! I enjoy the tour and all the Halls!

Mohammed Awwal Dododawa

Good for history

israel camarena

Excellent place to learn something about the beginning of the life in this planet.

Sophia Guerra

So much fun to learn.

Karen Hill

Best place to spend a rainy day!

Carmella Milicia-Russell

Had a blast it was myself along with a few Teachers and 15 Kindergartens the smiles on their faces , the history they love it.

Jessica Tawn

Quite nice and relatively unknown musuem, I didn't know about this place until I came for a class. It's free admission for UT students and the gift shop is fairly priced. The staff are nice and polite as well. I'll be back!

Peter Stuhr

I have always wanted to visit this museum. Finally got to see it today. Amazing!! Highly recommend anyone to visit.

Matt Medina

Travel through the natural history of Texas as you explore three stories of exhibits from fossils to frontiers.

Lenis Hernandez

(Translated by Google) Good place to have a good time with the family. Especially if you have children who like dinosaurs. (Original) Buen lugar para pasar un buen rato con la familia. Sobre todo si tienes niñ@s que le gusten los dinosaurios.

Jerome Reinhart

Small and old, the fossil part was fun and the maps of texas showing where rock from different periods is exposed were cool. The top floor was closed and the taxidermy section is dated.

Crystal Franklin

What an Awesome place!! The humongous Pterodactyl hanging from the ceiling has got to be my favorite!?!? There are so many cool fossils to choose from My kids were in amazement and very eager to learn!! Our second stop was the library, they both wanted a book on dinosaurs!

Ryan Jensen

Really cool and informative. Parking is tough if you don't spend a lot to park.

h sause

The onion creek, travis county, mosasaur(mosasaur Maximus) was found in 1934 by U.T. Geology students Clyde Ikins and john smith, near Big Bend. Mosasaurs breathed air but we're powerful swimmers, who probably swam near here and all around Texas, when Texas was a shallow warm sea(early Cretaceous period 85-65 Ma). Pg.76-77 "river road vistas" by William Macleod.

علي الربيعي

Very good

Reneé Lasswell

Disappointed that the gift shop closes before the museum so we missed it and parking is difficult to find, but otherwise enjoyed the visit.

san var

Awesome awesome awesome

Brent Oatman

Great variety of fossils and minerals on display, huge variety of dinosaurs and ancient reptiles. Lots of local wildlife on display as well. We were disappointed that the dinosaur tracks were not on display but it's hard to take away from the rest of this fantastic museum. Great for kids.

Austin with Kiddos

Great natural sciences museum! It’s not too big, but with the four floors of biological and geological collections, paintings, some interactive exhibits, and the beautiful outdoors on UT Campus, your family will surely have a great time!

Janie Alba

I enjoy looking olsd fossils

Eric Reinhart

Small musuem but a lot to see. There are fun things for the kids to do as well.

Harry Roberts

My favorite museum in Austin. Warm and cozy with many interesting exhibits. Super kid friendly. Dinosaurs and rock collections? Are you kidding me? They also allow you to bring in your nice DSLR cameras to shoot... how cool is that. One of the campus gems that every Austinite should experience... and it costs almost nothing to make a visit.

Huggy Bear

Wonderful, quant and informative for an old school (ha!) Natural History Museum.

Sandra Fabian-Ramirez

I love this museum, its all about TEXAS. If you love rocks and dinosour artifacts you will love it. Located on the UT Campus, you feel TEXAS all around you!!!

Micah Ross

Amazing, my seven year old loved it almost as much as me!

donna wallerstein

Amazing museum highlighting past and present natural habitats of Texas. Awesome dinosaur exhibits! Perfect for kids of all ages

Chad Harrison Ford

This museum should be more well known! I walked the whole of it but spent the most of my time in the fantastic WWII exhibit. It details the Texas contribution to the war. It is quite amazing and I'm not even Texan!

Taewook Yang

(Translated by Google) Another place where you can see the historical movement of Texas. If you're in UT, it's worth a visit. (Original) 텍사스의 역사적 움직임을 볼 수 있는 또 다른 곳. UT에 들린다면 한 번 쯤은 가볼만 곳이에요

David Seger

Lots of fossils, super informative loved it.

Jose Acevedo

I love all the type of rock and dinosaurs and different type of animals they have but it a little small for a Museum

Julien BOYER

Very cool

Tim Murray

Great museum. Bigger than it looks! Most items from Texas.

Assunta Burnside

Excellent place to visit for the whole family

Johannes Axner

A great museum with very nice palaeontology exhibits. Excellent service too. Worth a detour if you enjoy old bones.

Kimberly Zeh

Loved it. So much and so little! We have young toddlers and this to us 2 goes to complete... Which, in my opinion, is perfect for young kids.it's not over whelming and just pleasantly spaced and displayed Tip for new parents: the entrance Hall is full of gems and rocks/stones, my kids couldn't see some of it and were disinterested so I took out my.phone and used it like a magnifying glass to talk about colors and texture while in and out (check pics). Took us 20 mins just to get thru the first room! And we also circled around the paleontology gallery three times, noticing something new every time.

Martin Starrett

Good place to go and check out some fossils. They also have an area with animals of Texas. It is a good place for the kids and best of all it is free.

Vic

It's a good little museum to spend an hour in. Two if you are a mild archaeologist. Otherwise there are more interesting places to go.

Linda Fleming

Just Fantastic Arts..

seth stone

Very cool collection of meteorites. Some you can touch. Even cooler fossils. Dinosaurs, amphibians and mammals. Fun for adults and super cool for young children.

Mauricio Mendieta

Nice but small

Edgar Juarez

Excelente museo que trata varios aspectos de historia natural. Justo en la entrada podrás ver un reptil volador "sobrevolando" la primera sala. La colección de minerales es estupenda, muy buenos ejemplares, buena iluminación. Hay fósiles de diversos vertebrados que habitaron la región, por ej., puedes encontrar restos de dinosaurios, reptiles, peces y gran variedad de mamíferos. Con fortuna podrás escuchar algunas piezas clásicas en vivo, lo que sin duda mejorará tu experiencia. Hay una pequeña de recuerdos. El costo del acceso es de $5 USD, si eres estudiante $3 USD.

Gaurav Gandhi

Well maintained.

luis guadalupe

Small museum with nice collection on geology and paleontology. The kids loved the fossils. Audio guides on selected displays provided an interactive way for the kids to get interesting facts on the topic.

Nicky Brand

Great paleo exhibit!!! Good inexpensive fun!!

Dani Butler

it was a little cramped and didnt like how the only ramp is far from the parking garage

eveline crozier

Well worth a visit.

Jeff Bass

Great place to bring kids of all ages!

Allen-Paul Templet

Great small natural history museum on UT campus

M Lopez

Awesome museum in Austin.

christian crane

A few of the items on display are looking rough from people touching them but ive always loved this museum ever since I was a child coming here with my parents! Its a great place to take the family or go spend the day learning. I really liked the cell phone tour option where you call a number to listen to a recorded message about the exhibits you are looking at

Ken's Alternate Universe

An excellent museum located on the UT campus, it offers a look into Texas' past from a scientific perspective, covering everything from caverns to dinosaurs. I highly recommend this museum. Parking is available in the San Jacinto parking garage next door and is very reasonable.

Josie Josie

Interesting place. Has four levels to see. Enjoyed my visit and price wasny too bad.

Andrew Umholtz

A great kid friendly museum with a ton of natural history exhibits, my 3 year old always begs to go back to the dinosaur building now. Parking is easy with a garage next door especially for on campus.

Rosario Nava

(Translated by Google) It was amazing the experience ..... Much History, but I think there are spaces for striking for young children. (Original) Fue increíble la experiencia..... Mucha Historia, pero concidero que faltan espacios para llamativos para los niños pequeños.

Chunfen Zhou

Your good old school natural history museum; still displays animal specimens preserved in formalin jars. While that gives it an intimate feeling, the museum does need more funding to modernize its interiors. That said, they get their job done by showing Texas wildlife dioramas, fossils, gems & minerals etc., and they also have special exhibitions and an audio guide.

Gerard Vertucci

This place was a pleasant surprise! While it's small and maybe an hour and a half visit, it was definitely worth the trip. Parking is a pain though as you have to use the garage parking next door as street parking is all reserved for the school, but if you're in the area and want something to do it's definitely worth it. No fee to get in but donations are recommended.

Parnell Henning

Smaller than some museums but a beautiful building and a lot of exhibits..plus on the beautiful UT Austin campus.. great place to take a class

Lauren Revels

Nice museum for younger kids. However, I don't recommend bringing a stroller.

Angel Baker

This is a Texas Treasure. My kids love going through there.

Marcos Olmos

Small museum, but very nice and quiet. Kids were seldom interested, but not a bad thing, not all museums are for kids. The pterodactyl display in the main hall is great!

Ricardo G.

Educational for kids

Montanna Smith

Definitely a hidden treasure in Austin. I actually prefer this museum to the Bob Bullock. Their collection of fossils is impressive, but I'm sad that I went back and the comment card binder was no longer on the 4th floor. 5th star lost because wheelchair access is difficult and not readily obvious.

Adeline Francois

Very educational

Molly McLaughlin

Amazingly Kept Exibits.

John Mckiernan-Gonzalez

This museum is for the birds. It has the most amazing reconstruction of Quetzalcoatlus, the largest flying pterosaur. The mosasaur in the basement is both beautiful and stunning. The exhibit on the buzz-saw shark is one of the best displays I have seen on science in action.

M Peterson

Always a fun place to take the family. Upgrades are seriously needed though. Some of the older dispassionate are covered with dust and the animal exhibits are losing hair......

Jason Wallerstein

Fun! Great exhibit!

Riquet Aouad

Not a lot of people know about this museum, it's on the UT campus. I went there while taking a geology class there. It's free and they have a lot of awesome dinosaur fossils and minerals. Very interesting.

Roberta Petersen

Took my 6 year old Grandson. He really enjoyed the dinosaur exhibits. I enjoyed the rocks as much as the dinosaurs.

Vacation Sensei

Great little venture when visiting Austin. On the way to the bat visit. Be well vacationsensei

Ahmed el menshawy

really i like this museum you can found more interesting things on talk about the wars

SHARON SMITH

They have ramps but they are not handicap friendly at all. I had surgery and was unable to walk the museum with my kids. They told me I couldn't sit in the lobby... Cool on a hot summer day... Unless I paid. Because the lobby area had things to look at. Even though I was sitting on a bench not looking at anything. We won't go back.

Norma Gil

I always love this delightful and impressive museum. I loved the new art addition on the top floor. Nice staff and clean facility.

Lauren Wendorf

A pretty small museum but still a fun place to visit at least once! It is free for UT students (with ID) and only about $3 for other visitors, the dinosaur room is pretty great. The entrance room also has a large collection of gemstones that is pretty amazing to look through. It's not the largest or most impressive museum I've seen but it made for a fun Saturday afternoon.

Samantha Jo Peters

Cute little museum filled with a variety of exhibits! Awesome for dates not just bringing kids

Ashleigh North

Very small and dated museum but staff were friendly and I liked that lots of the casts/fossils were local.

chi kondo

Always a good place to time travel back to prehistoric eras and climb up and down beautiful staircases. The gift shop is awesome...bring lots of money!

David L

Please adjust your phone menu regarding hours to reflect you are closed on football Saturdays. We are 0-3 this season trying to get in prior to home games.

Christopher Joseph Clearman

Great way to spend a Saturday. Kids and adults will love it!

Scott Robison

Definitely worth the stop if you're into dinos. A really nice exhibit organized chronologically. Not huge but well done.

Warren Moorman

The wildlife/dinosaur exhibit was perfect for my 9 year old daughter and I!

Fatima Izquierdo

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to visit (Original) Excelente lugar para visitarlo

Ellie Elizondo

Love Texas history and the city of austin.

John Luikart

Really good museum with very reasonable entry prices. As long as you don't go in free entry day it is a pleasant experience (to crowded other wise)

Kelly Williams

Great place for kids. My nephew loved it! Onsite parking is extra bonus.

Kati Yee

I really enjoyed learning about texas at the texas memorial museum. It is very interesting

Joshua Mounce

The basement full of fossils was really neat, but the rest of it felt like it was just a taxidermy showcase and some weird obsession with one species of shark. No displays for information on anything, they instead had you call a number to listen to a recording if you wanted to learn about it, which was all very limited information. I hate to give a bad rating to a museum, but I don't feel like I learned anything here.

Mauricio Montes

Saw lots of rocks and animals (bones). Would recommend if you like either!

Кристина Полищук

(Translated by Google) Be sure to visit this place! Cool! (Original) Обязательно посетите это место! Круто!

AJ DeCato

A lot of things to see. Each floor has a different theme to it. Worth the price to kill some time.

Noland Martin

Oh my goodness. A gem.

Tina Li

Great little museum tucked into the UT campus. Parking garage right next door. Fantastic collection of dinosaur fossils.
