Wendy K. • July 6, 2014I learn so much every time I come, They have great rotating exhibits. The staff and volunteers are incredibly helpful as well.

Jessica J. • July 6, 2018A very charming (and free) museum right in the heart of downtown. The staff is very knowledgeable and can answer any and all questions about O Henry!

Josh A. • January 5, 2017Must do stop for Austinites and highly recommend for tourists. Al about LBJ but usually some cool temporary exhibit. Don't be afraid to learn something!

Jessica S. • January 9, 2018Beautiful space! Dance studio is great for rehearsals. There's a theater and maybe the playground in back is part of it too?

Dora • July 21, 2010Kids love the dinosaur bones, fossils, and meteorites – and parents love that the museum is always free! Powered by ParentsConnect.com

ActiveCultures • March 18, 2010The lawn stage vibe is lovely, but the tent on the Hill stage is already getting crowded.

Yani I. • March 1, 2014Not a history buff but I learned a lot about the survivors of the Alamo & about the Alamo itself! If you're just not into that than play International Home Hunters & compare with O'Henry's #ynottravel

Vonia • June 13, 2014Free, unique, worth a look...

Jason H. • February 13, 2013Help save the Dino Tracks! The museum is trying to raise funds to save them. The building they are in is unstable and it is leading to their deterioration!

HISTORY • April 7, 2010Austin’s best tour with 75 minutes of sightseeing that includes Historic Sixth Street, the State Capitol Building, Bob Bullock State History Museum, the Governor’s Mansion, and Lake Austin.
