Excellent museum! So happy we came! Building is cute and painted nicely in historic downtown Freeport. With the hot and humid Texas weather the chill and nice a/c felt great inside. When you first walk in you're greeted by a nice staff member, a cute lobby/visitor center and have many options to start your time with. We chose the kids playroom, had lots of hands on activities, fun lights and technology to play with. We moved our way to the shark tank area, they really created a neat atmosphere where you feel like you're underwater with the lighting and glow. Huge lifelike sharks of all kinds to look at. Lots of photo ops such as a hammer head shark coming out the wall and huge shark jaw/teeth to crawl into. We spent lots of time soaking it all in. We then moved to the museum and enjoyed all the history and things to look at. Very clean, well laid out. There's a 20 min video to watch if you want to. We kept going and found more museum with best artifacts and a really cool library at the back. We spent over 30 mins in the library getting out books, binders, encyclopedias and pictures to look through. Neat books over US history too, over things anywhere from coins to stamps to local history to ocean life and even classic kids' books or photo books. We enjoyed going through the Tarpoon Inn binder, the DOW binder and more. So much learning in a super cozy library. We then went to the theatre at the back, sat in super comfortable theatre seats and one of my sons plopped down in a cushy bean bag chair, they've got lots. We visited the restrooms while here and they were nice and clean. So needed for a family outing. The man at the counter was kind and helpful, answered our questions and was welcoming to us as out of town visitors. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and time spent here. They put a lot of thought into the cleanliness, bright colors and attractive layouts of items. Again, so happy we came! Entire family enjoyed and left smarter. read more
