The Museum is free (donations accepted) and has permanent displays plus featured exhibits that rotate. My favorite part of the Museum is the Planetarium. It has been upgraded several times over the years and is very impressive. There are both planetarium and laser shows. These shows cost a few dollars, but are well worth it. Check out the museum's website... More

It's free,donations only. Kids love to go here and never tire of seeing the dinosaur exhibits. I love to go just to take a step out of the ordinary of Lubbock. They constantly have events that are interesting. Check website to see what's coming up.

The museum is a great place to visit. They have an amazing collection of historical pieces and it is always clean and well managed. The citizens of Lubbock are very fortunate to have such a a wonderful museum.

This museum is not huge, but covers a nice range of topics. I would recomend it. The price was right also. We didnt have time to go to the planetarium but we plan on it if we go to Lubbock again.

This was a great adventure and learning opportunity about Lubbock's history and great benefactors. There is a gift shop inside also but it was closed when we went. Great family adventure.

It was very difficult to enter in the aftertnoon heat with a double stroller because the ramp was blocked with cones. However once inside the A/C was kicking and my kids were crazy over the dinosaurs at the entrance. Not sure how often the exhibits change, if ever but it was a very nice museum.

This museum had a lot of variety from re-constructed dinosaur bones, to displays of wedding dresses throughout the ages. We really enjoyed the western artwork. We though the "Texas Tech Museum" would have a lot of artifacts pertaining to Texas Tech. We were disappointed about that. There is only one small section about Tech with pictures and articles. I think... More

This is our 3rd time to visit this wonderful (and free!) Museum. They have several permanent exhibits and then have several rooms of either traveling one or temporary ones. When we went, they had an exhibit on old and rare books that was very interesting. My teenage daughter really like the wedding dress exhibit that showed that they weren't always... More

This museum is a wonderful place for all ages. They feature new exhibits quarterly that are always so interesting and well done. The permanent exhibits are also very good - I always see something I haven't noticed before. Outside the main entrance of the museum is one of my favorite Glenna Goodacre sculptures of children. The gift shop has unique... More
