We were visiting the area and, based on prior reviews, we visited the Iwo Jima Memorial & Museum. It was WELL worth the visit!! There are so many pieces of history here - not just about WWII, but some into the Desert Storm and the Gulf War. We thoroughly enjoyed a video Iwo Jima, which we had not seen prior, as it was privately produced. The staff there is VERY kind, and VERY knowledgeable ! The HUGE sculpture of the soldiers raising the flag is THE original. The replica is in Washington DC. We had a wonderful day there - and will definitely do that again!! Thank you!! NO charge, as they survive on donations.

The Fire Museum of Texas is housed in the historic 1927 Central Fire Station for the City of Beaumont. View interactive exhibits for the entire family that trace the history of the fire service in the state of Texas. Our exhibits explore equipment, trucks and fire fighting methods from the mid-1800s to the present. Perhaps one of the most comprehensive fire museums in the nation, our exhibits feature a 1856 Howle Hand Drawn Tub Pumper, a 1909 Ladder Truck and a 1931 REO Light Truck - the first of its kind in the entire world. An interactive Fire Safety House allows children to practice escaping from a house fire.

Your kids will love it here! The downstairs is full of antique fire engines and equipment. The upstairs is designed for kids to play and to become aware of safety... My boys got to meet the Fire Chief of Beaumont and have pictures with him at his desk. They loved it so much that they would have gladly gone back the next day

I was a bit worried after the so so reviews posted. Seeing the impact the different lights have on how the sky looks like, was awesome. And totally unexpected. There is no music with the entire experience being very visual. Once the light show starts , the views are spectacular from the outside, observing the overall structure and from the inside looking up towards the sky. The views from level up the stairs was not so impressive. I would suggest to visit and experience all three levels ; clearly a case of experiencing different points of view ... The attraction is located on the Rice University campus. If you drive, the closet parking lot is west 2. Payment is by credit card only. Once you park, walk back past the side where the entrance to the lot is. Keep walking about 50 meters back on the one way street that reaches the parking lot and you will find the installation in the middle of a large open space. This attraction is probably best experienced when it’s warm outside. I would strongly recommend it and I will return if in the area
