    An Italian Royal Gull amphibious plane from the 1950's
    Garry H.

    The fourth aviation museum Mike and I went to. Smaller than the others, but just as interesting. Lots of older equipment, and some of it still works. Several of the planes still fly and go to air shows. After walking through the whole museum, we ended up talking to 2 guys working on a Douglas A-26 bomber. This plane still flies, and they were installing an engine that had been rebuilt. This plane had 14 fifty caliber machine guns! Eight guns in the nose of the plane, and 3 on each wing. Some serious firepower! See the picture. Mike and I have really enjoyed visiting these museums. A lot of history just waiting for YOU to come visit. Take the time to go see the planes that have protected our country through the years. You'll enjoy it!

    Parking and entrance is in the back if the building. Enter thru the gift shop. The staff was very well informed and glad to talk to you about their own experience as well as about what they have on display. A small but well organized museum.

    What a fun day at the Vintage Flying Museum! I met an aerospace engineer that took her time to answer all my questions and shared so much information about airplanes, flying, history, etc. I learned about Bernoulli's principle, Euler angles and Newton's law of universal gravitation. Defiantly tip worthy (as they had tip boxed to fund the museum throughout the museum). Everyone I crossed paths with in both hangers was happy to be there and suggested we ask them anything. I really enjoyed my visit. If you haven't been, you're missing out.

    Practicing in the flight simulator!

    First time here visiting family. The young lady who took our payment and admitted us to the museum was extremely knowledgeable and helped provide I formation as we walked around the museum! We appreciated all of her knowledge about the flying banana specifically! My kids loves the aircraft and will have to come back for another visit when we are back in Texas!

    Great little place. My wife and I had a great time talking to some of the old timers and new times. They planes were amazing and I good time was had by all

    My cousin invited me to the Modern Art Museum. He wanted to show me his favorite paintings. We went…read morelast Friday evening. I'm so glad we did! We missed the traffic for the Cowtown run. We were able to find a parking quick. We walked in to find some nice tables, chairs and a small Bar. To the left of the Museum was the Information Desk, Restrooms, and Store. The Employees were dressed professional and were watching each room carefully. There was a lot to see. Paintings, Sculptures, Plants etc. We recognized Jackson Pollocks work but there were just a few pieces. I like how large the building is and how beautiful the windows are. I also love how it's surrounded by an oversized pond. I would definitely recommend the Modem Art Museum. It's free on Fridays but a donation is encouraged. They have a large clear box that accepts cash. It's definitely worth your time.

I enjoyed walking around the Kaws sculpture, which faces the water outside. This review is mainly for the gift shop, which I love. It ranks high among all the museums I've been to in other, especially the museums in NYC (Whitney, MoMA, The Met). There were lots of my favorite artists represented in the shop, including Warhol, Basquiat and Haring. I ended up getting the Velvet Underground tote, a magnet and a bag of Gudetama chips, which made me laugh. It would have been easy to spend a lot more money in the shop, but I decided to take it easy (Haha). The service was really good, as I recall, and everything was reasonably priced. The people who work in this museum tend to be friendly and easygoing. Overall, 5/5. Highly recommended.

There's plenty of room to explore without feeling crowded, and the overall atmosphere is calm and welcoming. That said, the museum does feel a bit dated in places. Several of the hands-on exhibits designed for kids -- especially the ones with buttons and interactive elements -- weren't working, which was a little disappointing since that's often what kids are most excited about. On the positive side, it's still better than the science museum in Houston, in our experience. The planetarium is one of the better ones around, and the absolute standout is the Omni Theater helicopter ride -- you simply cannot beat it. That alone is worth the visit and completely captivated our child. Overall, while some updates and maintenance would go a long way, this is still a strong family-friendly museum and a great outing for young kids.

If you're a member, depending on your membership, you're able to have 2 or more people go in with you for free. Which I feel is definitely worth it, especially if you have kiddos. I love that it's an interactive museum with many exhibits. You can take your kiddo/s here, and they can be entertained for hours. It's perfect for rainy days, or unfavorable weather days instead of just bring at home with your little one/s. This is a great spot to take them, and they will definitely let all their energy out. My little one enjoyed the Marvel section, especially since he got to wear a cape, the grocery store they have for the kiddos, as well as other interactive play areas within the museum. They have a café inside, and I'll have pictures of their menu. Oh, and you have to pay for parking, but if you're a member you're able to get a discount. My son had a good night's sleep after all the walking around. I highly recommend it to anyone who had little ones. They can run around or crawl for hours here.

It was one day after the Japanese Garden exhibit so there weren't a lot of people around, but the gardens were well maintained. The shuttle buses are helpful in getting to the far away parts of the garden. Our favorite part was the visit to the butterfly exhibit. They were releasing new butterflies and the staff was great with sharing information about the various species. I've been to other butterfly exhibit, and this was the most active population of various butterflies... Al displayed beautiful creativity of our amazing God! Would be better to have a bus stop at or near the gardens. Would have liked to see more flowers there... The rose beds were likely better a couple weeks before our arrival.

It was definitely my favorite part of our trip to the area! I couldn't believe all the artifacts it possessed. Texas played a significant role in the American Civil War Secession: Texas joined the Confederacy in early 1861, a few weeks before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it had replaced its governor, Sam Houston, who had refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. Military: Nearly 90,000 Texans served in the military. Leaders of the Texas forces included legendary figures John Bell Hood, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Bankhead Magruder, Patrick Cleburne, and Ben McCulloch. Battles: Texas forces fought in many major battles, including Gettysburg, Antietam, Second Manassas, Wilson's Creek, The Wilderness, Vicksburg, Corinth, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Glorieta Pass, Pea Ridge, Gaine's Mill, Franklin, and Mansfield. Texas also defended its own coastline, repulsing Union invaders at Brownsville, Sabine Pass, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. Blockades: The Union blockaded Galveston, Houston, and other ports, making it difficult for farmers to export their crops. Closing: The surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Confederacy at Galveston on June 2, 1865 was, as Capt. Benjamin Franklin Sands of the United States Navy noted, "the closing act of the Great Rebellion." Just a few weeks later on June 19, Gen. Gordon Granger, commander of U.S. troops in Texas, arrived in Galveston and ended slavery in Texas by issuing an order that the Emancipation Proclamation was in effect in Texas later to become known as Juneteenth.

It is so extraordinary how many personal pieces and artillery/weapons are on display for us to experience. The very last exhibit included Victorian dresses on display! So fascinating to see in detail the stitching and different types of fabric that these dresses boasted. It also detailed the different bustles and corsets women used. Regarding the Museum, there is ample parking and restrooms are located near the entrance. The gift shop has cool items that are reasonably priced. It is unfortunate they will be closing in December 2023 though.
