    If you're not a Selena fan, we can't be friends. Seriously. Growing up, my friends and teammates always had a Selena song to sing. When we walked into the museum on the morning of May 28, 2025, we were immediately put into a group tour. The family grouped with us had children that had to use the restroom which was clear on the other side, so they missed the tour with us and a man who was on the chatty side. The tour, however, was short and sweet. It was maybe 10 minutes, but our guide was super down-to-earth and opened up for questions at the end. Then we were led down the long hallway to the museum where many of her dresses, awards, photos, fan art, and even her Porsche were all on display. Restroom was clean. Admission: Ages 2 & Up: $5.00 Ages 1 & Under - FREE Closed Saturday & Sunday. Free parking. Of course, there were some improvements that could be made, but the Selena Museum was still worth the trip. I'll never understand why she had to go, but I sure am glad she was around for the time she was to bless us with her voice, fashion, and amazing personality.

    I finally got down to see the Selena Museum. It's about 45-60 minutes to get through filled with so much memorabilia from her releases, fan art, childhood dolls, celebrity pictures, wardrobe drawings, even her red Porsche! I loved seeing her Grammy and Go Tejano awards among so many more. I got choked up on seeing so many of her outfits from her videos, performances, and award ceremonies. Seeing her microphone with her red lipstick on it and her MAC makeup line made me tear up. The fan art was so impressive. Her famous purple outfits from her live performances. I will say that the initial presentation that was given was good but there was too much mention of JLO. She might be relevant now but JLO would not be where she is without the part of Selena. Selena is iconic! I would love to hear more about the songs Selena recorded there in her studio. Even if it was just a few, I'd love to hear more about her songwriting and recording process. It was cool seeing where she recorded and hearing about the analog equipment. It was well worth it and a necessary must see if you're in CC!

    This was at the Grammy Museum in LA. Saw so many amazing pieces of Selena that was brought from her original museum. LOVED IT

    "Selena Quintanilla-Perez" her beautiful family created an amazing museum paying tribute to her.

    A Beautiful Amazing Tribute to "Selena" The family has created s such a wonderful museum. If you can go , i would encourage everyone to take some time to see, her life , Beautiful. People come from all over the world. It is timeless. She also has a Statue located at the Corpus Christi Marina.

    Estuve visitando el museo de esta estrella muy amada por mí y creo por muchas personas. Tener la oportunidad de recordar sus grandes momentos y parte de lo que fueron sus logros y accesorios usados y diseñados por ella misma la mayoría, el disto del valla $5 el ticket , a mi parecer un museo pequeño para lo que ella logro en muy poco tiempo pero vale la pena venir y visitar y apreciar lo que queda de ella.

    While driving home, I made a stop at the Selena Museum. It's worth noting that it was raining that day, and couldn't see the cone indicated that the parking lot was full which it was far back. Once I entered, the sheriff mentioned that I should have seen the sign, albeit in a somewhat hostile tone, and instructed me to park across the street. Upon entering, visitors pay $10 per person for the tour, during which they're advised not to record or use flash photography. The atmosphere inside is very welcoming. There are numerous photos of Selena and her group. Once inside, you can see the studio where she recorded seven songs. You're then taken to another room where you can see the Grammy Awards she won, as well as her car. There are also sketched drawings of her clothing designs, letters from around the world, dolls of her in the outfits she wore, and a video of her last performance at the Houston Rodeo. Additionally, her clothes, shoes, and jewelry are on display, accompanied by pictures of her wearing them.

    This is a cute little spot to see all things Selena ! It's small but so many things to see and read. Everyone that we spoke to was friendly, in specific the girl that was helping us with the jewelry in the gift shop. They also give you Selena's fav restaurant and her memorial site. You can make a whole day of this.

    Such a beautiful place. Should come visit and learn her story. We had a blast and learned many things about Selena and her family.

    If you're a fan you'd definitely enjoy your self. They have a lot of things displayed of Selena's that will be recognizable. It's so awesome to see. I wish they offered more stuff in the gift shop though.

    I came to Corpus this weekend hoping to visit the Selena museum. I didn't realize that they close on the weekends though. I'm glad I got to at least see it from the outside. I'm hoping next time I can actually go inside, if there is a next time. I've dreamed of coming here since I was a kid.

    What Graceland is to Elvis Presley lovers, this museum is to any diehard Selena fan, like myself. My family and I were staying in San Antonio for a few days and we decided to take a 2-hour drive to Corpus Christi. It's a straight shot there and we had no traffic. This museum is right off the freeway and easy to find. The parking lot can fit about 20 cars, but if it's packed, than you'll have no choice but to go elsewhere. It's open Monday through Friday and it closes at 4pm. It's a $5 charge for adults to enter and I believe $3 for children. You'll wait in a living room type of area before you are escorted into the museum. This place is still an operating recording studio, so there are people walking about in the background and business it is still being conducted- gotta be respectful. The tours are offered in both English and Spanish. There are also restrooms available, if needed. This place is wall-to-wall purple carpet with lovely photographs, memorabilia and the best part, all of Selena's wonderful outfits. There's also a gift shop, which mainly consists of T-shirts, but I didn't mind that so much. It was a dream just for me to be there. We ended up seeing Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla, as she was conducting business in the museum, but we didn't want to disturb her by asking her for a photograph. It just so happened, we ran into Suzette later on during the day while we were having lunch. She was happy to oblige us with our photo request. I had read mixed reviews about how she treats the fans that come to see the museum, but I thought she was approachable and relatively down to earth.

    Selena Museum is a Must See! We made it a point to stop and visit the Selena Museum while on our drive from Houston to the Rio Grande Valley. Firstly, I have to say hands down to all musicians, artists, truck drivers, and anyone else that drive to deliver a show anywhere in the U.S. because a small road trip in the State of Texas can be a hit or miss. Luckily for me, my husband is a great sidekick LOL. The property is very easy to find. You CANNOT miss it ! If you do, get back on our Waiz or google app to help you. I Make sure you pay attention to hours of operation and give yourself enough time to take it all in. We were told that we were there at the right time because it was not peak season, so it was nice to be able to take our time and walk through all these memories. If I could spend hours there however, I would have. We were able experience a piece of music in the making through the music studio and go through memory lane as we walked through and saw a lot of her awards, wardrobe, and personal belongings. Just being there brought back so many so many specific memories of listening to her and the band on the radio. I just loved it. There is a fan giftshop to buy some merch. I recommend the T shirts that note the actual Museum along with some of the new wardrobe that came out. I specifically purchased her cap with her Iconic Signature along with the new bomber jacket to sport on our trip back to Vegas. We even bought her Dad;s book that came out ! My husband and I specifically had a bonus upon arrival as we realized we met Mr. Abraham Quintanilla himself ! We had a great conversation and he even noted that he used to perform at a place down in Pharr, TX. When I made it down to the valley, I asked my family if they remembered the place, he told me about and they immediately chatted away some great memories of their own! Wow, just AMAZING! It's just magical how the Quintanilla Family is connected to all of us! I can see why her family working together to keep this Legacy going. Bravo !

    This museum, which is still an active recording studio, was so magical to be able to walk through. It costs $5 to get into (cash or card), and is well worth every single penny and then some. It is a smaller museum, but any true Selena lover can really feel her presence in this place. To walk where Selena walked, to see where she recorded her last album, to see her actual outfits and how teeny her little waist was- it was all magical. Everyone who worked here clearly had and has a love and respect for Selena, which was really beautiful to see and experience. I see people have written negative reviews about seeing Señor Quintanilla and/or Suzette and they refuse pictures- this is their place of business where they still actively work, so if you see them, leave them be (no one comes to try to take your picture while you're at work without your permission, do they?). This is a beautiful place and an exceptional tribute to La Reyna, and I am so grateful to have experienced this in my current lifetime. Thank you, Quintanilla Family, for keeping Selena alive for all of us who still long for her presence on this Earth.

We want to see everything, but only deep dive into things that catch our interest. Unfortunately, almost everything catches our interest making our visits too lengthy for other family members. This visit was especially exciting for us. We are both Texas Master Naturalists with the Alamo Area chapter. The CEO of the museum is also a member and one of our dear friends. We hoped to see her, but since our original plans got messed up by family interference, we were there on a Saturday. Believe it or not, our friend had come in to catch up on some work. She met with us, got us oriented, and set us free to explore her wonderful museum. We liked all of the exhibits. I especially enjoyed the section on the wildlife of the area. One night at our rental, I swore I heard a pack of coyotes nearby. The museum verified that they are alive and well on Mustang Island. We also enjoyed the Kenedy collection. The whole era of riverboat captains on the Rio Grande and the way many of them morphed into prominent ranchers excites me. It was fun to take a deep dive into one of the key ranch families of the time. The museum has a large children's section with fun activities, but we skipped it since my grandson wasn't with us. Now I wish I had at least looked at it. If you haven't been to the museum, skip the beach one afternoon next time you are in the area and visit. It is a great place.

I felt that the prices at the gift shop were quite reasonable if you're in the need for Asian stuff for the home to feng shui is up, or for some jade jewelry.

It's quite idyllic. The museum had all kinds of cool, interesting things to check out. While we were there, a docent was giving a talk on Asian weapons! Hiiiiya! Upstairs is accessible with an elevator, and has a library and a doll collection from Japan. Apparently, the founder of the museum was a lady from the area who was retired, loved to travel, and struck it rich with oil. She continued to travel, buying cool stuff she came across, and writing journals about her experience. The upstairs library has all of her writings on catalog, which range from intricate details about mundane aspects of her trip, to in-depth looks at culture and fashion. The collection of Japanese dolls she amassed is quite impressive. A docent was happy to walk us through the collection, pointing out the highlights and significance of the collection. My favorite was the Japanese doll of Richard Nixon! Sock it to Me!!! Parking was easy, and the museum is located amid a bunch of other local attractions, making it a cool quick stop to scope out the culture!
