too small- we were in and out in an hour. There were schools there visiting so the cell lab was unavailable. Some hands on things for kids but the body area of the museum was somewhat graphic, redundant and not very engaging for my 11 year old. Might be good for pre med or HS students interested in medical careers. We saw pictures at her school from when this was an exhibit at the Natural Science museum and my daughter couldn't wait to get here. However, the staff told us when they moved to their own building, space was cut in half so many of the exhibits we eliminated. No walk through heart which was something she was excited to see. The gift shop was interesting and had items you don't normally see in other museum shops. Parking was confusing. I parked close and ended up paying for hospital parking at the outside kiosk bc the lot said to take your ticket with you.When we left, the lot attendant said I didn't pay for that lot so I paid twice! I was unable to pay for parking at the museum front desk despite the sign up front. Wouldn't recommend or return visit. Just disappointing all around..... The website needs to reflect the exhibits on display. Its very...

Not our favorite museum but a great place to learn about the human body! An emotional experience as well seeing the “77 minutes” tribute to the students and teachers of the Uvalde school massacre. Rate it a 5/10. We wish there was more . :( #fyp #wic #houston #texas #ebttiktok #health #uvaldestrong #77minutes #girlmom
