This museum was over-the-top FANTASTIC! I could have spent days in it reading through and pouring over numerous historical artifacts, data, and top-notch, exhibits that are usually seen and on display in larger museums. This is truly a secret that must be shared. So much history tucked away in this gem. Due to time constraints, I only spent about an hour in this wonderful place! Truth be told, I actually need about a day to soak in all of the information.nThe museum is laid out in a chronological order documenting shipwrecks going back to the 1500's. The exhibits go into great detail about what life on a ship would have been like at that time, and there are numerous artifacts that have been found that are also on display. Truly a treasure!nAs in a great lot of museums and art galleries, photographs and videos are not allowed. Luckily, I had a little notepad in my purse. I took a lot of fantastic notes! I will be returning to enjoy this museum at a more leisurely pace. ⚓⚓⚓
This seems like a fun and educational thing to do if you have kids who are interested in shipwrecks, pirates, etc. They have some interesting exhibits. Makes for a fun little indoor adventure.
Interesting and a good bargain when you bundle the musuems. Small kids area. Building kind of ran down. Needs redone.informative but wouldn't make a special trip for it.
Very neat exhibit about the ship wrecks off the shores of Padre Island. Fascinating stories and artifacts!
We are Texas history buffs and loved the saga of the early peoples who fought for the land.
