Suggestions for History Museum near Downtown Austin, Austin

Doug M. • March 31, 2014Drove all the way to Austin for this. Nice collection of artifacts. Very friendly docents. Nice restaurant with plenty of healthy food choices on 2nd floor. Imax theatre is re-opened.

_ • March 4, 2016Really like the model architectures at the visitor center! There is also a gift shop if someone wants to buy a souvenir.

Brandi S. • June 29, 2012Neat historical site. It's worth it to have a docent give you a tour.

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?

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!

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. • March 22, 2013The tracks are in danger! The humidity is making them fade away, as they remineralize! The roof of the building they are in is collapsing. Please, if you can donate to help move and save them.

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.
