I agree with The_Griswolds07 and dudalu's reviews. This is GREAT place for kids and adults can enjoy it too. During my visit I saw kids aged 3-9 years old having A BLAST in the four-story, HEB Treehouse. The treehouse has so many interactive, hands-on exhibits that the kids can learn, enjoy, and be entertained for hours. Adults interested in learning... more

We had a few hours before our flight and decided to stop in at the Witte Museum - their interactive science area would be great for kids, and they did have some interesting pieces of history/culture - however overall I would say this was a let-down. It did its job of killing a few hours before our flight, but so... more

This is place to visit only if you have nothing left to do in San Antonio. It does not have anything remarkable to see. The most interesting thing to see is the architecture of the building from the outside. more

My daughter and I went there during Spring Break (2008) to check out the traveling exhibit of Our Bodies, the universe within. This was a great exhibit and very educational. I am so glad that I happened to be in San Antonio during the time it was at the Witte. Luckily, we went as soon as they opened as by... more

My husband and I took our 2 kids, ages 7 & 8, to the Witte Museum on a Saturday afternoon to see the dinosaur exhibit. Our 7 year old son was afraid to go into the exhibit at first, but after a little persuasion, he agreed to go in and had a great time-he especially liked seeing baby dinosaurs hatch... more

The Witte Museum in San Antonio has a super exhibit on the old west. We loved the talking mannequin whose facial expressions were so real that I had to double check whether it was a real person! Also loved the life-sized figures of a cowboy and a burro. Another treat at the Witte was a very well done exhibit on... more

We took our four children, ages 11, 10, 7, and 4, to the Witte Museum in March 2006. We spent a good part of the day there. The kids had a really great time. They especially enjoyed the Treehouse. They also had shows going on at certain times. We watched one that was about the magic of science. It was... more
