    I just have to take a moment to shout out Wonder Chamber Selfie Museum I had been here before with my daughter but when talking about the selfie museum a young lady close to my daughter has been going through a really difficult time. She's a high school senior currently experiencing homelessness, and her mom wasn't able to celebrate her birthday this year.. As someone who runs a nonprofit, I reached out to a few places hoping someone would be willing to help make her day special. When I say they were absolutely amazing, I mean that with my whole heart. They were kind, welcoming, and so accommodating. They helped create a beautiful space where she and her friends could celebrate, laugh, and just be young for a moment. And listen... it wasn't just pictures. It was joy, confidence, and memories. Watching these girls light up, feel beautiful, and enjoy themselves in such a fun, creative environment meant everything. You could literally see their spirits lift. Everybody deserves to feel special, especially on their birthday and especially a young woman pushing through life and still showing up and doing her best. Because of this experience, I will always support and recommend them. If you're looking for a place that brings fun, creativity, and positive energy, this is definitely a spot you should check out

    Me and my friend had a great time here! It was about $40 for two people for an hour. Honestly I was not expecting this place to have so many photo rooms when we first arrived. The rooms are not just great for cute pics but they are also interactive. My only criticism is that they had a map of all the rooms because we did get lost a few times. They had one at the front but I wish I had one to carry around.

    So I really wanted to love this place but it's just trying to be a Meow Wolf and we've been to every MW they have & this is no were close. I will say there is a few places that are extremely cool inside. Our favorite inside was the dinner. The set up was really cool but other than that, you are paying $20 a person and you only have an hour to do it. You definitely could do it for less time but for the price, it was meh. For a family I think it's pricey, but for like a date night, it's perfect. I can't imagine doing this place in the summer. The only AC place was the ice room.

    Hidden gem We didn't have any expectations as we walked in. Discovering so many unique rooms was a great experience for us

    My daughter and I love this place so much. We come at least once per "season" to experience all the changes they make. This was our third visit and it was the best one yet because they've expanded and added even more attractions. We can't wait for the new season whenever it happens and we will continue to come back time and time again.

    My son & I visited on Friday evening & we had a blast!! There is plenty of free parking. We took our time in each area and took lots of cool pics! My son enjoyed all the interactive stuff. They give an hour time frame which ended up being just enough time so we didn't have to rush through. My son's favorite was the ice cave. He loved the keyboards and the changing lights. It was pretty cold in there which was great!! I thought the Candy land room was the cutest!! This place is great for date night or family time. We loved exploring this place & shall return when the new exhibit opens.

    One of the many experiences

    We took a group of students here and they had a great time! Fun picture opps, interactive room, and cool visual experience.

    This place was so neat. Oscar was AMAZING! He gave us a tour guide and helped explained each room so well. It was so fun going through and interacting with all of the things they had to offer. You're able to use your senses to heighten the experience. 9/10

    Non working exhibit or lights

    Place has become terrible. Many non-functional areas. Not worth the $50 we paid for two people.save your money. It was dirty, run down, and half of the "exhibits" were not functioning, lights were out or the systems were not working. Legit took us like 10 minutes to walk through or less.. I emailed the owner to get a refund cause of the huge disappointment and no response. I also called, and gave them my phone number for them to call and again no one has reached out to me. Poor customer service and facilities are def not worth your time or money.

    I always love a good immersive museum and Wonder Chamber definitely delivered. All the different sets were fun and me and my friend totally got creative with the props. We went towards the end of the night and there was maybe 2 other groups at the same time as us. Everyone was super respectful of the place and we are able to leisurely roam around and take our time getting that perfect shot!

    All the wishes on the tree

    This place is a must if you're into immersive art or like to get insta famous. There aren't many rooms but it's enough to spend at least an hour to get some nice shots. I really like that you can change the colors of the room with the touch pad in some of the rooms ... which really sets the tone and how you want to take that glam picture. It's a bit pricey considering how small it is ($25!) but it's all about the experience, right? so make sure u take advantage of each space and make the best of it!

    Had the pleasure of checking out the Wonder Chamber ahead of its grand opening and I was extremely impressed by how elaborate the rooms are. The rooms have everything you could need to make a nice photo. The $28 price point is definitely worth it and they offer discounts to veterans and sometimes give discounts to students and teachers. This business is locally owned and operated, so if you're big on supporting local business, this is it. My favorite room was the Edison garden room. Definitely make a point of stopping by this creative studio!

    We went here a week or so ago as part of a ladies night and we had a great time. The workers at wonder chamber are kind, accommodating and will gladly take group photos for you. They come periodically to check to see if there is anything you need. You have one hour to go through all 11 rooms plus a secret room. I thought we wouldn't have enough time to fully take in each space but we had a lot of time to do just that. I love that you can interact in each room uniquely. This is a great place to take children or adults honestly. They have a chalk wall to write down you Instagram handle and a space to write down your fears. They hand you a pamphlet with the room numbers and names of the rooms, (#4,5, 10& 12) were my favorites.

    They have dinosaurs!…read more It's been YEARS since I've been to the Witte, but my fiancé bought tickets for the special Pterosaur exhibit for our anniversary since he knows I'm a dinosaur freak. This was his first visit to the Witte, and while we both had some fun we were admittedly a little disappointed. Considering the giant dinosaur fossils in the main hall just inside the front doors, we expected there to be a larger collection or wider variety of natural history exhibits. However, the majority of the museum was Texas history and wildlife: taxidermy animals to the left and hill country artifacts to the right on your way to the special rotational exhibit space. It was like walking through every other Texas history museum, though these collections felt more sparse. Even the Pterosaur exhibit was a little lacking, the special gift shop and interactive video game taking up more of the space than the actual pterosaurs themselves. All in all it's not a bad museum, I'm just not all that jazzed about Texas history and it wasn't what we were expecting. For a museum it was admittedly pretty small and both the regular and special exhibit ticket prices seemed too high for what we experienced. I'd say give this place a try so you can see for yourself whether or not it's worth it for you. Museums are never a waste of money and you always leave having learned something new.

This was our second museum visit of the summer while my sister is staying with me.

This time, I really took my time reading about the artwork and exhibits, and it made the experience so much more fascinating. Each floor had its own unique collections and displays to explore. My favorite part was the Chinese vases exhibit. I don't remember seeing it before, and it was incredibly interesting. It was something completely new to me and definitely stood out during the visit. It was a little warm inside, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and we had a wonderful time. I definitely plan on bringing my other sisters here in the future. Highly recommend checking it out, especially on the free admission days!

A sculpture garden surrounds the museum so there's plenty of areas to stroll and take photos. This museum resides in a gorgeous 1920s Spanish colonial revival residence built by Marion McNay. The building itself is art with its wood detailing, arches, and intricate tile ceilings and floors. The actual art collection consisted of over 20,000 items, but only some are displayed and occasionally on rotation. The collection embodied European and American art of the nineteenth century, twentieth, and twenty first centuries. Sooo much to see- paintings, special exhibits, vase collection, Angelica Raquel Mystic Threads, sculptures, and a lovely garden/pond/fountain containing koi. The museum has a gift shop, restrooms, and a special collection of art displayed by many artistic school children. My new found artist I discovered here was Carl Rice Embery. A pure Texan, his art was amazing ! Initially I thought the pieces were photographs, but up close they are actual paintings. That's how realistic they are. Simple Texan scenery.

The cheese doodle pieces in the contemporary section were one of my favorite pieces. It's air-conditioned, takes around 2 hours if you're thoughtfully looking, and has a decent amount of parking. Bonus points if you're on a certain day as a Bank of America cardholder for free entry.
