We had a good time at this venue, but thought it was way too expensive for what it offers. It's interesting, but we wouldn't pay that amount to go again.

Get there early, book all the sessions you want to see, take a tram, check times for films and then take your time.

Very interesting exhibits. Definitely worth the time to take the trams and see the rest of the exhibits.

Our guide (Diana) was awesome! Very knowledgeable & passionate about shining the light on some largely forgotten chapters of Houston's history. My wife, our two teenagers and I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours we spent following Diana through some of the underground tunnels that connect various skyscrapers in Houston's Central Business District while we were visiting Houston and Galveston on a mini-vacation of sorts in August 2025. Highly recommended, especially during the Dog Days of Summer as probably 95% of our time on the tour was spent underground in luxurious air conditioning that constituted a sharp contrast to the sweltering heat on the city streets above us.
