    We waited and waited, checked every entrance, they never opened. Even after the new hours were posted. A totally wasted trip.

    I've heard so many great things about this museum and was super excited to finally visit over the…read moreweekend! It was SO big. Definitely spent hours in here, as there are so many levels, room, activities, etc. Really loved the activities that were super engaging, both for kids and adults. The spots area on the bottom ground floor was super fun and not crowded at all. The price is well worth the visit! perfect place for families, and even just adults (i saw some adult friend groups who were visiting and they looked like they were having so much fun!) Parking is across the street under the highway. it's $15, which is not the best but at least it's a short walk. It was pretty easy finding a spot too.

    It was our last day in Dallas and we decided to bring our 3 year old son to Perot Museum of Nature…read moreand Science. This place is huge with multiple floors of hands-on and educational exhibits that kept our son moving the whole time. We even booked the soccer exhibit with our general admission tickets and had a lot of fun exploring different soccer challenges and interactive spots at our own pace. Our son especially loved building a Lego arena and creating his mascot at the soccer exhibit. The museum is clean and the staff are friendly. We booked our tickets online which was very quick and easy. We went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, which made chasing our little one around much easier. There's a parking garage within walking distance to the museum and you pay before you leave. We had an absolute blast especially our son. If you have an active little one who loves to run around and explore, this is a fantastic spot. Highly recommend - we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Dallas.

    Well worth the stop along I-30 in Greenville. Support your local history!…read more Open Tuesday thru Saturday 10am to 5pm. Cost $6 adults $2.00 discount for veterans and seniors. The Audie Murphy Museum is one of those landmarks you pass through Greenville off I-30. This is a wonderful informative museum. A very special place that lends a glimpse into the life of not only a hero that needs to be remembered & the most decorated soldier of WWII. It features one of the largest privately owned collections of U.S. veteran and actor Audie Murphy. There is a tribute wall to those currently serving the military from this area. I'm very glad we stopped. The Cotton Museum is interesting which I thoroughly enjoyed for my father retired from the Cotton Council. Much of the museum preserves the local history too. The museum just added a rare collection of personal items that belonged to Desmond Doss (Hacksaw Ridge), Gen. George C. Marshall, Gen. George S. Patton, Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, Audie Murphy, Adm. John D. Bulkeley, Maj. Richard I. Bong, and Cmdr. David McCampbell. I really enjoyed the exhibit. Highly recommend, you won't regret it!!

Farming history, period clothing, a 1906 Cadillac, and all sorts of displays. The Audy Murphy section includes not only things about his life and exploits but also many military displays covering the World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam. The museum sits off westbound I-30 and the entry fees are nominal. If time allows, make the stop and enjoy a well put together museum.
