    View from observation deck.

    This museum was okay. They had lots of informative artifacts and art work. What I enjoyed most was going to the top observation deck for the beautiful views of Rockport. They also have a self guided map they give you. Some of the exhibits tried to be interactive but you can tell this place is due for a refurbishment. I saw a sign that said that new exhibits and touch screen displays are coming. Price of admission was inexpensive. If you are a nautical fan or interested to learn more about Texas coast history, check it out.

    Cool museum with beautiful gardens! I came to the grounds…read moreof this museum for the Hummingbird Festival brunch! At this event, they had tables set up in the gardens, around the gazebo in the center. We got to take in the wonderfully catered brunch, while checking out all the hummingbirds, and the flowers they have growing! The gardeners have thoughtfully identified each type of plant growing in the garden, so you can look up more info on them later! Smart! They have statues and birdfeeders, and the gardens are official Monarch butterfly way points and stopping grounds. Inside the museum, you'll find a bunch of information on Connie Hagar, who set up the first Rockport nature preserve, and a bit on the history of the Key Alegro development. It shows a bunch of historical artifacts, and some stuff on the wildlife of the area. Interesting! The Aransas County area has long been a destination for nature lovers, and this area expresses the local love for the natural aspects of this coastal county. The museum is ADA accessible, and has ample air conditioning and clean restrooms. When I went, it was free admission to the museum, because we were there for an event. Not sure if it's free or open every day... I'm glad I came in! I certainly learned more about the development and history behind the area! Thanks to the History Center for making us feel welcome and providing such great grub! Yum!

    The educational posters are so well done. I learned more about the Rockport community from the…read moretime line of events. I can not wait to go back again.

    Wow what an experience. This is a classic in the aircraft carrier world. The museam allows you to…read moretour a significant portion of the ship. We truly enjoyed the experience. The recommendation was to tour all the public levels and then go so the movie (which is no additional charge) at the end. Be ready to climb some steps and do a lot of walking. The have a single elevator however that only goes one floor. It's not really an accesable museum. We spent many hours on our selfguided tour. It took almost an entire day. I'm sure, if you don't have the time, you can speed it up but we were not in a hurry.

    By far the best tourist attraction in Corpus Christi is the USS Lexington. If you're a museum lover…read moreor a military history fan, this place is an absolute must-visit. Plan to spend about 3-4 hours if you want to explore every level, read the exhibits, and fully experience everything the ship has to offer. Admission was only $20, and the value is incredible. You can climb all the way to the top of the ship, and they even have a "walk the plank" experience where you step off the side of the ship (safely, of course). There are tons of interactive and 3D-style exhibits throughout, making it fun for families, kids, and history buffs alike. I genuinely enjoyed myself and would definitely go back. If you're in Corpus Christi, this is the highlight of the city.
