This is a place you don't want to miss, when in town, especially if you like Selena's music. More

I really enjoyed visiting the Selena museum and seeing all of her Gold and Platinum records, as well as other memorabilia. They have her clothes on display and lots of merchandise available to purchase through the gift shop. Even though it is a small museum, it was a powerful experience. As other people have mentioned, her family does run the... More

What an awesome experience. Got the opportunity to see all the memorabilia of the singer. It gave us a chance to value her achievements. But the highlight was the chance to talk to Abraham Quintanilla and some of Selena’s relatives who are at the museum most of the time. Thanks you for your time Mr. Quintanilla. More

I have loved Selena for a very long time, and it was wonderful to visit the museum and see this homage that has been set up on her behalf. While we were there her father was also there and it just made me realize how family must go on after loved ones are gone! The museum is small and simple.... More

I don't really consider myself a huge Selena fan, but I had fun here with my friend. It's only $2 to visit and you can see all of Selena's outfits that she designed herself and her awards which was cool. We met her dad which was also way cool. My friend had gone there before and he took her and... More

Boring, Little to offer. If you are not a dedicated Selena fan it is useless. Even if a fan it is not worth the trip. More

The museum itself is rather small, however, it has a ton of memorabilia. Everything belonged to Selena or her family. They have videos playing of her performances. It was really neat to see everything, although it was sort of bitter sweet. I can't imagine having to live with a constant reminder of her death. It was such a tragedy. Either... More
