 The Lonely Star by Djinn76
Count 5$ for the parking (with 2$ rebate on the museum price), 5.5$ for the exhibits visit, there is also an IMAX theatre for 7$. You can eventually add 2$ for an audio tours of the museum. This is indeed a MP3 player where you enter the number of the spot you want a comment on. This is a great idea and usually a good way to visit something but in this case I wouldn’t recommend it, it doesn’t bring much more than what you can already read in the exhibits.
Open from 10am to 6pm (from noon on Sunday) Leave a Comment

 The Bob Bullock Museum by VeronicaG
It's no coincidence this attraction is my first THINGS TO DO tip. The Bob Bullock Museum covered all phases of Texas history and to visit it is a "must"!
The exhibit began with the native people by illustrating their way of life and artifacts from that period. Early explorers were highlighted with interactive displays. The fight for independence and struggle for statehood were explained and contributions of Texas were defined. Be sure to allot a couple hours to tour the museum!
Displays on more recent history showed the evolution of the oil industry, farming and space exploration. The Texas Spirit Theatre recreates events such as an oil gusher, rocket launch and hurricane--believe me, it's realistic! There is a wonderful museum store on the entrance level.
Hours are Mon.-Sat. 9am-6pm; Sun. 12Noon-6pm; closed Jan. 1, Easter, Thanksgiving and Dec. 24-25. Admission is $5.50 for adults; $4.50 for seniors and military; $3.00 for youth 5-18; free for children 3-4.
The IMAX theatre is $7.00 for adults; $6.00 for seniors or military; $5.00 for youth 5-18 and $3.50 for children 3-4years. Combination tickets can be purchased that include both admission and the IMAX theatre.
