Best Children's Museums in Texas

Texas has 3 children's museums we would happily take our own kids to. Children's Museum Houston is the one most families start with. Invent, imagine, and experiment across hands-on galleries spanning science, culture, math, and the arts. The DoSeum is the other name that comes up again and again. A San Antonio children's museum built entirely around learning through play. Thinkery rounds out the pick of the bunch. An Austin STEAM playground where 40,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits spark curiosity.

Published prices run from $18 at The DoSeum up to $21.95 at Children's Museum Houston. 2 of the 3 listed here quote a starting price. The others vary by season or by what you add on, so check before you travel. Age guidance is worth reading first at The DoSeum (ages 1-11).

The children's museums on this page are spread across Houston (1), Austin (1) and San Antonio (1), so it is easy to pair two into one trip.
