It's basically a dozen different exhibits that try to justify the need for the biggest pollutant known to mankind.. petroleum.nDesigned for kids, obviously, a brainwashing session.nYou can tell they spend alot of money to keep this place open
Enjoyed this informative museum. Showed the development and integration of oil exploration and refining in TX and surrounding areas. I skimmed over the science oriented exhibits as my brain is not oriented but my husband was fascinated. Only $5. Led to a lively conversation about many aspects of oil business and its place in society. Also the museum left out any political commentary or leanings, which was appreciated.
I work in the energy sector, and I appreciated the demonstration of how technology advanced from slave labor, to whale oil to modern energy modes. There was very little on nuclear or where energy is going for the future. It was NOT good for the small children, as it is dependent on a lot of reading and understanding of chemistry. Not very interactive.
Well done. Will take a few visits (Photo showing Texas shaped pavingstones to take it all in... (Photo of Texas shaped paving stones.)
Came here for the first time last Saturday morning. The front desk had a sign that we had to pay and to wait for someone to assist us. No one was at the desk. No one came for twenty minutes. I didn't feel comfortable there since it was completely vacant with no workers. We were extremely disappointed. We won't be coming back.
