What to do and see in Brownsville, Texas (TX): The Best Museums
At the mouth of the Rio Grande delta and the southernmost tip of Texas, Brownsville enjoys the perfect combination of casual southwestern charm and bicultural diversity. Its position just across the international pedestrian bridge from Matamoros makes it a good base for day trips to Mexico, or for just enjoying the Tex-Mex culture of south Texas. Warm Gulf breezes, blooming bougainvilleas, gently waving palms, soft white sands and friendly, diverse locals make this city a semi-tropical paradise.

I took my children here when they were 5 and 6 years old and they can stay busy for hours here. It is very educative as they have so many role playing areas so the children can be doctors, shopping for groceries, be a broadcaster, etc. It has many activities for all ages, 2 and up. It is best for a child of walking age. The place is very clean and temperature is cool. As you enter, you will have a large gift shop on the right and in the front you will have a museum. The museum displays different things throughout the year. The facility does have a yearly pass or pay as you go. Yearly pass is recommended if you plan to go often and also provides access to other events for free. You can have birthday parties here as well. I had a birthday party here and enjoyed it very much however I have only one complaint. It was for only two hours and that can go very fast. We happened to get their late so I had less than two hours to celebrate. The museum does close completely for the party so only your guests can enjoy the who museum and games. But for $500 for two hours, I think I would reconsider. However, you do get the whole museum for yourself!

On our recent trip to the Rio Grande Valley, we thought that knowing more about local history would add to our experience. Located in the center of "Old" Brownsville, the museum served our needs well. Though small in size, it's well designed to provide an interesting written and pictorial overview of Brownsville and the region's dramatic history. The impressive antique collection greatly adds to one's appreciation for the struggles the earlier population endured.
