    Best Museum in Houston!
    Any visit to Houston isn't complete without a stop here. With 4 floors of exhibits there really is something for everyone! My favorite is always the paleontology exhibit. I love seeing the huge dinosaur bones and reading where these animals once lived. On this trip we decided to check out one of the special exhibits....Pompeii. it was amazing!! The little volcano simulation experience followed by the revelation of just what happened to people was moving. I think this particular exhibit is here until September so be sure to check it out before its gone. With admission to the special exhibits you get to see all permanent exhibits as well so its worth the price! I can't wait to see what the next special exhibits they have are so I can go again!

    Better than most
    We found this museum had an interesting layout for their great exhibits. The posted garage price was so high we looked for somewhere else to park — very inconvenient. We wrongly assumed that the video theater venues were included in the entrance ticket and the ticket line was so long we didn’t go back to upgrade.
