Texas Museum of Science & Technology - Cedar Park, Texas

Marc Corinth

Best and only museum option I know of for RR, CP, N Austin as it relates to science and technology.

Only giving it 4stars because you can tell it hasn't hit it's full potential quite yet.. but it's definitely on its way.

Had a great time with my son, will definitely be going back again soon.

This little science museum was really impressive, especially in light of its modest size. The inflatable planetarium was really fun and functioned well. The Leonardo DaVinci's Machines exhibit was top notch - well curated and interesting and accessible to patrons of all ages. They're on the other side of Austin from us, but I still plan on making the effort to go back.

It's a good start. The museum is in a temporary location with very few amenities, but I found the da Vinci exhibit very interesting. I would like to come back when they're in the permanent location.

This Museum is definitely small however we knew that going in and were not expecting a huge interactive Museum. Knowing that this was a small Museum due to the fact that they are fairly new and growing was an appeal for us because we wanted to support them. My kids have been to larger Museums several times and they still had a blast here! We originally went for the King Tut exhibit however it was no longer there but after I told the staff how obsessed my daughter was with Egypt the woman running the planetarium show catered to her and incorporated some facts about Egypt. My favorite part of this experience was how dedicated and passionate the staff was about providing the best experience for our whole family. Every one was extremely nice and informative I feel that the staff made this experience more personal than I have ever experienced from the larger Museums. We were thankful for the opportunity to support this place and I encourage those who want to have a larger Museum available in their community to do the same so that they can continue to expand. I have no doubt that this facility will continue to improve and grow, we will definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again! Thank you to all of the staff for your dedication to providing this experience and education to families and for exceeding our expectations!!!

What a great space for kids and adults to explore together! Very clean and open feel. Employees are always behind desk, but very eager to discuss any questions you may have. There are many stations that educate about science and technology in a "hands on" style, which is the way most kids learn and that approach makes the experience a lot more memorable and fun. We had a fantastic time when we visited on a Labor Day. Will definitely be back to explore all of the stations and the Planetarium!

Make sure to ask about the scavenger hunt!

The Tut exhibit was interesting, but small and unfortunately it's only temporary. The planetarium exhibit was the best part science wise but only lasted 30 minutes and was rather small. The rest of the museum was dinosaur fossils and was small. My family (3 adults, 1 child) got in with a Groupon and enjoyed it for the price and even purchased 2 books (one a brief lesson on hieroglyphics, the other Carter's experience with Tut's tomb) But had we paid the original entrance price, we would have been furious. The museum does allow reentry for a whole day so it would be a good place to kill some time I suppose. Highly recommend going to each of their shows as the Phantom of the Universe was amazing and educational.

I have to say I am a little disappointed. The museum was just okay. I was very excited about the planetarium, but it was very small and extremely hot inside. The show was just all right.
The Egyptian exhibit was disappointingly set up. I had expected to be able to spend more time there, but we were able to see/read every thing in under 40 minutes. For the price, I had hoped there would be enough to keep us occupied for at least an hour. And with the eclipse coming, I had hoped to have a show dedicated to the monumental event. I learned a little, so it was not a total waste. But I don't think I'll be back.

The planetarium was definitely the main attraction and was very interesting. It is small however, and seats fill very quickly. Most kids just lay on the floor. They have multiple shows, and we watched two of them. It was very cool to see telescope images of planets and stars in this way. The two guides we had were very rehearsed and talked very very fast, which made it hard to understand everything.
We saw the Tutenkamen exhibit also, which was interesting, but the items were very obvious replicas made of cheaper materials. They also had some fossil replicas of early creatures.
It was a bit expensive for what you get, but it was still good entertainment and education for my boys and me. We were there about 2 hours, including the 2 planetarium shows.
