Undergoing a lot of work. Many exhibits aren't working, have missing information, or are absent completely. Signs explaining the missing exhibits or future projects (and maybe estimated completion dates) would have been helpful.
Shipwreck video needs to be further away from the front desk.
The desk staff weren't able to answer questions, which would be okay, but they did not seem interested in trying to help or find anything out.
The costumed museum staff were great and very helpful! There wasn't a lot for younger kids to do or interact with, but the costumed staff were fun.
Overall, the layout of things and construction/renovations were confusing. The museum is unfinished, which is understandable, but signs explaining this (in advance and throughout the museum) or knowledgeable desk staff to help would be nice.
The local history section, Nuecestown, and shell collection were very informative. The geology and oil refinery section has a lot of potential. Edit: The shipwreck, shipbuilding, and Spanish travel sections were also nicely done. Those also had a lot of information on the...
Read moreBack in February of we stopped by & learned about the history of Corpus Christi.
I’ve been coming here for years, especially when I was a kid in school. As an adult I can still enjoy it with my family because they always have new history to be discovered. I definitely recommend visiting this museum if you’re in the area or coming for vacation.

We learned about the local Native American settlements and got to see artifacts from a Spanish Shipwreck in 1554!
At the end of the tour the kids spent an hour playing at the HEB Science Center. Super interactive and kept them...
Read moreI went there for a school field trip of my little brother and I was expecting much better things plus the guy that was giving the tour to my brothers group was very rude to kids and made very sarcastic and mean comments here and there at some point they got the chance to dissect a frog and you know kids are a little clumsy he was walking around instructing kids on how to do things and it seemed like he was getting frustrated he would just tell them what to do and the kids were struggling to do it the right way because he kept saying to respect the frog and do it right. Finally he said to start cleaning up and throw the frogs away in the trash, he went up to a group of kids next to my brothers and the kid was pouring the frog and its juices and he a spilled a little on the guy and man he flipped out on the poor little boy saying "look at what you did now I have FROG JUICE all over me All day long" me and some other parents were in shock but then he lead the kids to wash their hands and just left them there and didn't come back so thats how the...
