Bullock Texas State History Museum

Bullock Texas State history museum is a great place to visit for kids to learn about Texas and America history. The general admission is $15/adult. The museum makes a great summary of how Texas is becoming. I went through the museum for about an hour or so. It gave a flash back of the great prices Texas pays for today's prosperity. It also reveals the pride of being a texan. It is a great place to educate the youth to value their life and in some way encourage them to do better in the future. In short, I strongly recommend it for family visits, especially those with kids.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Bullock Texas State History Museum for the first time—and wow, what an experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by two incredibly kind and welcoming gentlemen, Don and Joseph. They took the time to explain what was inside the museum, answered all my questions, and made me feel right at home even before I bought my ticket. Once inside, I was completely captivated. The museum takes you on a powerful journey through the rich and complex history of Texas—starting with Indigenous cultures and Mexican independence from Spain, all the way to the modern era. Every exhibit was thoughtfully curated and packed with fascinating artifacts. I left feeling inspired, informed, and eager to return. If you haven’t been yet, it’s a must-see—truly a Texas treasure!

We came here to learn more about Texas history and see some really neat artifacts. It wasn't too busy at all on Juneteenth and the parking was very easy. Total of 3 floors filled with great history about the state. I would recommend doing this and touring the state Capitol as it's pretty close.

The place to go to get the skinny on the history of Texas. The shipwreck exhibit of the Belle on the main floor is fascinating. Don't forget to swing by the gift shop to get the annual Texas State Capitol Christmas ornament. We have for each year since moving to Texas

Super neat museum. Three levels. Cafe and shop. Two theaters and a side traveling exhibit that changes out to different exhibits. Lots of nest Texas history. Very well spaced out. You don't feel crowded. Interactive items.

I spent like three hours here with my dad and brother who are both museum nerds (me too but I don't take as long). This is actually an amazing American history museum about Texas and I learned plenty about it here. Air conditioning was outstanding and they have a cafe and gift shop as well.

The other reviews made it much more hype than reality. Other than some cool artifacts and recreations, the museum lacked interactive pieces. It's not a bad museum overall. However, the abundance of visual print as a primary source of information made the experience dull. Despite my photo collection, this is still a history museum, and the majority of it is just that.
