It does such a great job of bringing local history to life in a way that's interesting, engaging, and enjoyable to experience. The exhibits were well done, thoughtfully curated, and give you a real appreciation for Williamson County's beginnings. The museum is welcoming, educational, and perfect for all ages...as a visitor I found it interesting to understand Williamson County's history. It's a great stop if you enjoy history or want to learn more about the community you're are visiting. Highly recommend checking it out and supporting this local museum. Important to note, entrance to the museum was free.

It's a shame that small town bigots and prudes are reviewing this small local museum poorly because of their views. As people who are newer to the area we were able to learn a lot of information about the past of the area. The man working there had extra stories for us and recommended other historical places in the community to visit. There is nothing that is sexual or outlandish in the exhibits, just true history, perfectly digestible for children. Many of the exhibits are interactive with additional sounds, videos, or items to lift and read under. We found it by exploring the square, but they do offer scheduled tours. Free to visit, but please consider donating or purchasing something that they have on sale in their gift shop to support them!

Before you enter the museum here in this little gift shop so you are able to buy little interesting things if you wanted to.

But we did enjoy it if we ever end up in Texas again we would honestly do it again

Looked like poop -it wasn't but it sure looked like it. Bathroom out of order but they let me in and stain still there. So $25 for 2 to get in and I possibly ruined a brand new dress. Wasn't impressed at all by the place.

When my friend and I arrived at this home nestled on the east side, we were warmly greeted by Scott and Jen. They showed us around their garden and then brought us back to their museum which was located in the back of their property. This museum definitely keeps Austin weird. Jen and Scott eagerly told us stories behind their collections. There was a strand of Willie Nelson's hair, parts from the original Ferris wheel, a taxidermy flamingo head and so much more. Some tips: -You need to schedule a tour on their website. -The suggested donation is $10. They accept cash and Venmo -The museum area gets hot, so dress accordingly. They will be kind enough to offer you fans -parking is on the street by the house

The exhibits are interpreted by the residents with humor and flexibility to suit the tour-goer. The "Impermanent Collection" is enhanced by special themed exhibits, back yard gardens and art, and a bevy of family pets ( Siamese guppy!!). The museum is supported by your donation or purchase of memorabilia.

Personally, I think I'd prefer to pay ($10 per adult, 4 and under are free) and have it be a little less crowded. The building is small, the hallways narrow, the elevator slow. I wasn't sure what to expect but I'd advise you to keep your expectations low. The museum is a bit dated, the building is old, and some of the exhibits felt antiquated. There is a certain charm to that. Plus, you can see everything in one short visit. They did make it ADA accessible -- there's a separate entrance for wheelchairs and strollers. There's a wheelchair ramp available for the inaccessible areas (like the paleontology exhibit). For strollers, I'd recommend just leaving it upstairs and holding your kid. The exhibits are small so you won't be there for long. Gift shop had a nice selection of cute gifts/souvenirs. Easy parking in the San Jacinto garage next door. Cost us $6 or something like that. While the woman's restroom had a diaper changing station, I don't think the men's did. I noticed a dad going in to change his son's diaper (he verbally noted it to the mom) and walked right back out. If they want to be accommodating to families, this might be an upgrade worth making. FYI: they're card only, no cash.

It was a great time had by myself and them, the admission price was $7.00 for all three of us to go into the museum. For the boys the associate in the gift shop gave them a scavanger hunt to do while we visited the museum upstairs. I loved the idea so it made them look all over at things to find the little white squares with the symbols on them. Took the boys 2 times through the museum to find them all. After that we then walked through and looked at things and then explained it to them. We all loved the museum. Highly recommend taking the children there for a visit, get them out into the fresh air.

It's so nice to have an indoor hands on interactive learning place for the young ones! It's fun and pretty clean. We were so generously gifted a family membership for Christmas by our family friends and it was perfect! The STEAM hands on learning and activities really engages children of all ages. My 7 year old and 4 year old enjoy it here. My 6 month old will get into it soon enough. No food or drinks inside the museum. The water zone is nice that it has smocks and crocs for kids to wear and change into to avoid getting wet and slipping. There is also an outdoor playscape and water tables to get into. I am so grateful they have a comfort nursing room for moms to have a private blocked off area to feed babies! It's much appreciated

The Thinkery is great for Austin, but pales in comparison to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis which is five stories and 7.5 acres.
