Awesome place to visit. So many exhibits to see. If you are ever in Canyon Texas, do not leave without going to this museum. One night a year for 3 hours, which is in June, they turn out the lights and hold a "Night at the Museum". I have been going to this event for years. Never have been disappointed. The kids love this event because they get to bring their flashlights and tour through certain areas of the museum in the dark.
There is a wealth of Texas Panhandle-relevant information here. It is a treasure and well worth a day trip if you're anywhere near.
I grew up visiting this museum, carried from exhibit to exhibit by my extremely patient father who, I now realize, enjoyed it as much as I did. My husband and I now bring our own children here when we visit my hometown, and again, my father carries them from exhibit to exhibit, reading and explaining to them.
Amazing place. Amazing time in a true western museum. Just a wonderful place to look at authentic items relating to the ranches and farms in the panhandle. A really nice place. Good for all ages.
Largest museum in Texas, this building is 5 floors of Texas Panhandle/Plains history. Excellent collection of fossils and complete dinosaur skeletons. Detailed documentation of life evolution and migration in the area. Fine collections of classic cars, farm implements and oil field drilling equipment just add to the experience. Plan on spending several hours here... definitely worth the visit.
Very nice - went with a school class and took a tour - guide was very informative and let the kids go on a scavenger hunt of their choice - lots of cool historical artifacts - not enough time to see it all
This museum has something for everyone--science in the form of the windmill, oil and gas, and dinosaur and early animal exhibits. There are social sciences in the form of the pioneer town, the WWI, and the automobile exhibits, not to mention well-curated collections of textiles, firearms, and other revolving displays. It is absolutely engaging for a child as young as 2, but also captivating for the adult who has been visiting this museum her whole life.
