Jacob's Review: It is just like a regular museum, there is Indian TP's and statues of cowboys and Indians that look real. They have soldiers from cowboy time doing a real battle - but they are statues. Davy Crockett was here at the Alamo and they look like they are shooting a cannon. You can see how they lived in the olden days. The IMAX is a giant movie - it is so big it might seem a little scary - but it's really not.

Dad's Notes: The first Texans - Indian life displays, Texas cowboys, Indian battles, Black gold rush - oil days. A nicely done, clean and realistic job of bringing Texas history alive in Diorama's nice use of lighting, computers and modern technology.
The Imax (a GIANT movie screen) - if you have never seen an Imax movie, make it a point to go. Has rotating shows - recommend catching 'The Alamo' if it is playing when you go.
Parking is about $8, but you get $5 off with any purchase at the museum.

Jacob Tip: You can always have your Mom call the place you want to go to so you will know it isn't closed when you get there.
