Different from most museums…read morethis is an educational museum so the atmosphere here is more toned down and the setup is simple. About the museum: -The science section is neat and they have a small collection of interesting animals to look at. -There are really beautiful artworks in the art gallery. I honestly didn't expect such well curated galleries here. About the staff: As for the staff...they were really welcoming and helpful. There was one staff in particular, Lisa, who was just so friendly and personable. She showed me their bearded dragon and took the time to teach me about them. Make sure to check them out!

Already a well-known pilgrimage site among Catholics, the City of San Juan, TX, is also home to the…read moreGelman Stained Glass Museum. It's here where you'll find beautiful works of Catholic artwork depicting major scenes from the Life of Jesus Christ. Having visited San Juan many times (my family and I usually do every year), I consider the museum one of those places I'd pass by, but don't bother to check out. That is, until today. One of the women at the front desk told me that it wasn't formerly an Orthodox church, which I originally assumed, and it was constructed in 2015, finally opening to the public six years later. The exterior, and of course, the interior resemble one of those epically grand cathedrals in Europe. With a chant recording wafting in the background, a visitor can easily get lost (mentally) exploring these magnificent masterpieces. It's a good thing photography is allowed so as long as it's with your phone, tablet, or even a camera. Speaking of which, I captured several of the stained glass windows that caught my eye. Among those that stood out to me were the Birth of Jesus, the Holy Family's Escape to Egypt, the Resurrection of Jesus, and St. Patrick's presentation on the Holy Trinity using a shamrock. There are also a few statues standing guard amidst the exhibits as well. Another tidbit I got from the front office is that a chapel acting as the miniature version of the museum is under construction just a few feet away. It's projected to be completed this year. I'd you ever find yourself in the Rio Grande Valley, please pay a visit to this hidden gem.

Mostly green sea turtles, which are native to the area. Most are in various stages of rehab to be released back into the ocean. But, there are a handful of permanent residents, several species, which cannot be released and are livin' the life at the center. Complete hospital on site, with talented and entertaining staff and volunteers that make the place fun. Everywhere you turn... turtles! In the outer building, there are several tanks housing the large permanent residents, and various other sea life native to the waters nearby. Nice gift shop too! A very fun place to spend a couple of hours. Time your visit to hear one of the turtle talks in the outdoor auditorium... you'll be glad you did! Highly recommend!

The admission is totally free they do except donations. Currently they have an exhibit of quilts from The national quilt Museum.

This little museum is very quaint, everyone's very friendly and I highly recommend it.
