Mom and I finally made it to the Memorial Museum. After paying our $5 (each) admission, we spent…read moreabout 45-minutes looking at all the exhibits. Not every exhibit dealt with Texas Independence. There is an amphitheater in the rear of the building, and a great reflection pool at the front of the museum. Definitely very worthwhile checking out the museum. While there, be sure to also check out the nearby Veterans Plaza and Horace Eggleston House.

I loved the drink while you art concept and definitely got a drink, which was a good amount of tasty and strong. By far we all loved the first lighting art display the best. The kiddos loved running through it, the changing lights and the music. The other exhibits were less interactive. We enjoyed them as adults, however, the kiddos passed through most of them without interest. The selection was good, but we craved more once we got to the end. I was able to make my drink last the entire time we were there. That being said, the adult prices were fair, however I would not charge children under 12. Overall we had a great time escaping the Texas heat. So if you're looking for a nice adult escape I recommend this thoughtful art space.

I liked the Submergence exhibit since it had many pretty glowing lights that hung from the ceiling. Great for pictures and videos. Some other exhibits were engaging with movements too. It really involves your various senses with multiple sounds, sights, and things you can touch. You can view at your own pace and no one rushes you. It took us around 2-3 hours to go through everything. There's a wide selection of different installations, so I feel like it's worth the $25 value. There is also a bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy. Book your tickets in advance as they have limited spots per time slot so it is not cramped. There's a kiosk near the entrance to check in and then they will help you get started at the front desk. Lots of free parking in front of the building. What a unique and chill place to bring the family. They really are spaces filled with wonder. They do rotate out the exhibits periodically, so there's always more to see. Overall a great experience and I look forward to coming back to see new installations!

Then there were some stuff animals, bones and replicas. The final section was local Texas history. It didn't take long to see it all. They were also setting up a née display so many displays were empty. Bathrooms are in the meeting Hal next door and parking was ample.

I wish they had more stuff to look at/interact with, I thought the place would be bigger. On the bright side they can be somewhat flexible with scheduling tickets, they say they aren't refundable but if you're running late they can push the time for you if you call.

Then the nitty-gritty: saddles, spurs, horse whips, riding crops, chaps, cowboy hats, boots, etc. all the necessary tools for the cowboy. The staff is very well-versed. They can explain what each piece is used for and who were the best artisans. The souvenir shop is cute and chock full of Texan stuff. Cutest was a Texas-shaped shot glass. The museum will be undergoing expansion soon. Wow. Give it a visit when in Cuero.

The museum is free and we were given fun little extras like small paper planes and pins along the tour. The museum itself is more extensive than one would realize and it's comprised of 2 buildings and the Stanzel family home. There is also a wonderful informational video that you're able to watch for background. We saw a number of model planes, marketing materials from back in the day and got to try a pretty neat flight simulator. If you're passing through, I'd highly recommend dropping by this lovely spot!
