Went two weekends ago and had a good time! One thing to note is to be on time, we arrived one minute late and thought we missed it but we just had to knock on the door! We did in fact pay for the tickets online and I believe the prices were pretty fair. I like the fact that it sits near the park so you have something to do right after! I don't want to spoil the cool features this place has but if you're really into art and literature definitely go here! You pay for 30 mins but about 15 mins in you're about ready to leave.

The Museum of Fine Arts is one of 19 museums located in the museum district in Houston. It…read moreencompasses 3 buildings each with several floors. They are connected via underground tunnels. Pricing for the museum is $24. There are several garages in the area to park at and parking is charged a hourly rate. Unfortunately I was short on time but was able to visit the Frida collection, Aztec civilization, and Islamic Art collections. All of the art work was unique. The Frida collection was extremely popular and that's where most of the museums visitors spent their time. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and wish I had more time to explore. They do have several dining options at the museum including a Michelin star French restaurant, Le Jardinier. The menu looks great and looks like they had a lunch 2 course option there for $45.

Took advantage of Free Museum Thursday, and it was absolutely worth it! If you're looking for a…read morebudget-friendly outing, this is the perfect time to explore. There were plenty of amazing exhibits to see in the free galleries, and parking was only $10. I decided to upgrade my ticket for an additional $10 to access the special exhibits, and it was money well spent. The extra exhibits added so much more to the experience! Whether you're into art, history, or just looking for something fun to do, this is definitely a great way to spend a Thursday. Highly recommend checking it out!

I have never been to a worse museum. Thank god it was free because I wouldn't pay a single penny to…read morego here again. They should've owned me money for going. The security guards are rude as hell. Apparently you can't point at the art and god forbid you had your PAMPHLET open while you are walking. To the man who told me to close it, you are insufferable. The pamphlets are for the people and they can do whatever the hell they want with it. He must be so bored standing around doing nothing with his life that he decided to make an issue with my PIECE OF PAPER. The art is utter dog sh*t. I don't need to go to art school to say the art was awful. The art looks like someone took their poop and smeared it on canvas with scribbles. I think a toddler can create better art. Everyone looked so depressed to be working there which I can see why if I was staring at bullsh*t all day. I've been to so many art museums over the years and I have never had such an awful experience with the pieces and the staff. Rude staff, crap art. Only people who know nothing about art will enjoy this "collection". Make sure to not take pictures of the trash work, point at it, or have your pamphlet open because they will cause an issue with you.

Great art gallery-that's free! They have a no photography rule so that it keeps an intimate feel…read moreand have you keep coming back.

The Museum of Illusions is located at the Galleria mall in Houston. Cost for the museum is $27 and…read moreon average it should take one from 1 to 1.5 hours to fully enjoy the experience. Tickets are timed so that the experience is not crowded. The museum is a fun and interactive experience. It consists of holograms and optical illusions. A vortex tunnel that you have to walk to that definitely made me lose my balance. Brain teasers, infinity rooms, trick photography and other cool ways to challenge one's perception could be found throughout the museum. Overall, the museum isn't very big, but it's definitely entertaining and a unique way to spend the afternoon, especially on a rainy day. I definitely enjoyed the experience.

It is little hidden but it didn't take long to find it after lookin at the directory. We didn't book tickets ahead of time but it was easy to scan the QR code and purchase them on the spot. Age 4 & under are free. It is a self paced museum and there are several staff throughout which help you with various installations & how to position for the best photo op. They even have stools for the little ones. The exhibit is fun for all ages which is nice when you have kids at various ages & definitely enjoyable for adults! Our favorite were astronaut picture mirror illusion, spinning tunnel & life size 3D pin art impression wall. There are a lot of fun photo ops in an upside space shuttle room and when you flip the picture upside, it creates a cool effect. There are a lot of cool things we also picked up in the gift shop at the end. I highly recommend this museum for families! My kids were already wanting to go back as we were leaving!
