If you miss summer weather just head to the Butterfly Center. The temp inside is about 80 degrees.
I like the Gem Vault the best. Very cool and most of the pieces are from a local jeweler/designer.
Tiffany SantosMay 25, 2011Rock On! was fabulous. Myanmar prophecies of 2012 was interesting. Gem and jewel collection insane!

Zack FitzgeraldJuly 22, 2010I got the exact opposite experience as Melanie below- I showed the offer on my iPad to the cashier, and she gave the discount, no questions asked!
Molly BlockFebruary 13, 2010Explore the Cullen Hall of Gems and Minerals, including the treasures in the Smith Jewel Vault.
Jessica FontenotJuly 4, 2012Way too expensive and not to mention outdated. I remember seeing the same things 15 yrs ago here when I was a kid. Also, the place smells like a food court because of the McDonald's there. Barf!
My sister goes to Mixers and Elixers on Friday nights and has a blast.
