My family and I regularly visit and love the town of Bandera for its country offerings and the great Medina river. We didn’t know of this place until recently and brought our son to “see the Dinosaurs”. Little did we know we’d also like the stuff it has as far as art and wildlife information! Great place!

Matt S

This is a great little museum. Natural history on one side and art on the other side. The staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable. The admission price is extremely reasonable. There is something for every member in the family.

Lisa Creighton

Our 4 year old absolutely loved it. Great displays inside and outside. The dinosaur puzzles outside are unique.

Paul Clawson

A must see if in the area. A massed private collection donated and on display. An admission fee, but worth it. A dinosaur prop from the movie, "A night in the museum" is on display.
