Gorgeous and relatively new museum located in downtown Austin. Very informative and you should allow 3-4 hours to view everything. Numerous free 10 minute videos throughout exhibits and 20 minute movie that costs a mere $3 to see that is fun for the kids, also. Highly recommend and easy walking distance to Univ. of Texas campus, state capitol, and tons... more

We watched the movie first since this was our first visit to Texas. It was well done and interesting enough that a five year old who went with us from the area was excited to see it again because of the special effects I'd guess. Then we took our tickets back to get the combo ticket to see the museum.... more

The Bob Bullock Museum is pretty nice. They have a really nice IMAX theatre, and a cool little theatre within the museum that teaches you about Texas's history, and it has special effects, such as fake snakes popping out of the chairs!! It has good exhibits and friendly staff. It is not too terribly pricey either. more

They have 3 floors of exhibits highlighting the history... more

This museum is more of an educational display than one of historical artifacts. Not to say there aren't historical artifacts, but the ones they had for the most part were not unique, which is what I would expect from a museum. It is very interactive and good for kids, but I would have expected more given this is supposed to... more

This is an excellent museum with loads of rich and informative Texas history. It is rather large so wear comfy shoes as there are some bumpy areas. Very nice and well kept. Well worth the visit when you are in Austin. more

A great museum to learn about the history of Texas, and the history of the United States. The IMAX theater is a great place to catch an interesting documentary or the latest 3D movie. We love this place! more
