Location is handicapped accessible and there are clean restrooms at the main gate location. You walk down a path to take you to the covered site. Due to Covid-19 masks must be worn inside all buildings and only a limited number of guests are allowed in at a time. You may stay as long as you like as it is a self guided tour. Building is very well kept. Bones are amazing. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Gift shop is located up at main gate and is also very nice. Restrooms were clean and very well maintained. This location is a hidden gem and well worth the stop. There are hiking paths as well if you’d like to explore more than the dig site. See more..

    - A well-curated tribute to Texas's best law enforcement group.
    Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
    Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum image
    The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum is located adjacent to Baylor stadium. It highlights the development of the Texas Rangers from Stephen F. Austin's colonization or Texas through today, even reviewing some events which were embarrassing at the time and more so today. Great way to spend a hot summer afternoon. The exhibits are carefully cataloged and tell the story not only of the Rangers as a group, but of individuals and family groups dedicated to the tradition of keeping others safe. The website says to plan at least 90 minutes for the Museum; I suggest allowing a couple of hours or more. There's just a lot to see and read. Everything from clothing and equipment used by early Rangers, to equipment for the modern Rangers, to a 45 minute History Channel documentary on the most famous law enforcement agents in the world. Even the German Army in WW2 feared rumors of an invasion force of Texas Rangers! Add this place to your bucket list. You won't be disappointed. See more..

    Dinosaur World image
    Myself, my husband, and our 6 year old son stopped by here on a Thursday. We arrived around 11:30pm, and it wasn't busy at all. Tickets are decently priced, and we also bought two small bags of food to feed the Koi at $1 each. Since the boneyard and the mining area are closed, my son was given a small bag of fossils instead. The animatronic dinosaurs in the museum area were really cool! Walking around outside looking and reading about all the dinosaurs was really interesting, and I also learned a few new things about dinosaurs. I think it took us about 25 minutes more or less to walk around looking at the dinosaurs outside. Feeding the koi was so much fun. There are so many fish, and they definitely know when they are going to be fed! Definitely buy koi food. You (and your kid(s)) will have so much fun feeding them. I only wish I had more food because I loved it. The koi are beautiful. The playground for kids was really nice and clean. It looked like a fun playground. My 6 year old enjoyed playing on it. Bathrooms were very clean and well kept although when I went in there, they had all but two of the stalls locked for some reason. Not sure if the staff did that or a little kid locked them thinking it was funny. The gift shop is pretty big, but it's pretty pricey...maybe a little too overpriced. I bought my son a stuffed dinosaur, a t-shirt, and a small bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans, and that was near $50! However, it is a nice gift shop. Staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend Dinosaur World to adults and children alike...even if you aren't big into dinosaurs, this is still a fun place. See more..

Journey back into the early 1930s to see how people lived. Refresh your memory to the lyrics of a deep-rooted gospel hymn in the church exhibit. Get a lesson in the history of local schools. Imagine how that antique car in the transportation exhibit traveled on those rough, rutted roads.

    Hood County Jail and Historical Museum image
    The museum is housed in an authentic old western jail built in 1885 and located just off the northeast corner of the town square. The museum preserved the upstairs jail cells and hanging gallows just as they were when the County used it as a jail. The main floor houses exhibits on Hood County history covering David Crockett's descendants, General Granbury's tombstone, the Colony, Jesse James, John Wilkes Booth, Bell Starr, Comanche Peak, Barnard's Trading Post, the Brown family piano, and much more. It is recommended to call museum in advance. See more..

    When you are driving across Texas on highway 90, there isn't much to see, so any relief from the miles of nothing is welcome, but this particular museum was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect much. Judge Roy Bean has been dead for some time now, so he might not be remembered by a lot of people coming through here. But it doesn't matter whether you know who he is or not. First, there is a person there eager to help with questions about the Judge, questions about travel in the area, with questions about the small, but beautiful desert garden they have. Nice to talk with. There is also a large collection of travel brochures available. Clean restrooms-more like immaculate restrooms. The Judge Roy Bean info is interesting and the desert garden is as well. You have to go about two miles off 90 to see this, but it is worth it, and once in Langtry, you can't miss it. It's the biggest thing in town. And it's free! See more..

    We stopped by on our way to Shiner, TX. Wasn’t expecting much, but had some extra time and decided to stop in. Surprisingly, it was very entertaining. We had 6 teenagers with us and they all enjoyed it. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It only took us about a 1/2 hour. See more..
