Loved it. So much and so little! We have young toddlers and this to us 2 goes to complete... Which, in my opinion, is perfect for young kids.its not over whelming and just pleasantly spaced and displayed Tip for new parents: the entrance Hall is full of gems and rocks/stones, my kids couldnt see some of it and were disinterested so I took out my.phone and used it like a magnifying glass to talk about colors and texture while in and out (check pics). Took us 20 mins just to get thru the first room! And we also circled around the paleontology gallery three times, noticing something new every time.

More interesting for its exterior architecture than anything to me. They have a fairly decent collection, but their presentation is adorably locked in the cutting edge of 1950s museum presentation technology. Its definitely a good place to take your kids. One of the few building on campus actually designed by Paul Cret (who designed the Tower and the campus master plan) its a great display of Art Deco styling.

A pretty small museum but still a fun place to visit at least once! It is free for UT students (with ID) and only about $3 for other visitors, the dinosaur room is pretty great. The entrance room also has a large collection of gemstones that is pretty amazing to look through. Its not the largest or most impressive museum Ive seen but it made for a fun Saturday afternoon.

Free educational entertainment. We enjoy the dinosaur and Explore Evolution areas best. The exhibits arent really flashy but there are many interesting things (like the Mosasaur) and its a good place to spend an hour or two. Finding affordable parking during the weekday can be difficult so we usually take public transportation unless were visiting on the weekend.

The onion creek, travis county, mosasaur(mosasaur Maximus) was found in 1934 by U.T. Geology students Clyde Ikins and john smith, near Big Bend. Mosasaurs breathed air but were powerful swimmers, who probably swam near here and all around Texas, when Texas was a shallow warm sea(early Cretaceous period 85-65 Ma). Pg.76-77 "river road vistas" by William Macleod.

I love this place. A rough gem. Perfect field trip for kids and natural history nerds. Wonderfull Art Deco Building. Too bad UT is letting it run down. Great gem and mineral collection. Real meatorites you can touch! Dinosour bones and great fossils. Natural history diorama is a little sad. Worth the visit.

Definitely a hidden treasure in Austin. I actually prefer this museum to the Bob Bullock. Their collection of fossils is impressive, but Im sad that I went back and the comment card binder was no longer on the 4th floor. 5th star lost because wheelchair access is difficult and not readily obvious.

Great variety of fossils and minerals on display, huge variety of dinosaurs and ancient reptiles. Lots of local wildlife on display as well. We were disappointed that the dinosaur tracks were not on display but its hard to take away from the rest of this fantastic museum. Great for kids.

What an Awesome place!! The humongous Pterodactyl hanging from the ceiling has got to be my favorite!?!? There are so many cool fossils to choose from My kids were in amazement and very eager to learn!! Our second stop was the library, they both wanted a book on dinosaurs!

Awesome collection, very diverse, admission fee is very small and the place is quiet, clean and friendly. My daughter loved all of the dinosaur bones and fossils, of which they have a massive collection.

Good place to go and check out some fossils. They also have an area with animals of Texas. It is a good place for the kids and best of all it is free.

A lot of things to see. Each floor has a different theme to it. Worth the price to kill some time.
