We tried this small museum in Lufkin and was pleasantly surprised. This is a great museum for kids; especially if you don't want to travel to a big city. It doesn't take too long to see everything. It's not to expensive either. My little boy had a blast. This musuem is definitely worth checking out.

Such a cute little museum to learn about different times. The receptionist was nice and welcoming. They had so many fossils, rocks, jewelry, tools. I wasn't expecting there to be so many cool things lol. My son really enjoyed himself and he gets bored easily. He was excited to go to the gift shop and get the dinosaur slime and space necklace.

We walked in the door and were greeted by very kind workers. The admission price to get in is affordable. I was very pleasantly surprised when we walked in to see all kinds of amazing things. As a person who is very fond of ancient history, I was absolutely thrilled to see coins from ancient Rome, Egypt, Israel, and more. There were even interesting Pre-Historic artifacts. My son loved the dinosaur exhibit. There are large dinosaur displays and fossil digging stations for children and adults to enjoy. When we were finished looking at all of the exhibits, we decided to stop at the gift shop on the way out. The gift shop had a lot of options to purchase for both children and adults. The museum is not huge, but there is a lot to see and I was very happy with their collection. The atmosphere was wonderful. It was quiet, and everything was beautifully organized. If I find myself in Lufkin again, I will definitely be back.

A Gem for Dinosaur Enthusiasts, Naranjo Museum-Natural History you will not miss it. We visited it today. We loved it.
The exhibits are informative, providing fascinating insights into the lives of these magnificent creatures. The display of authentic dinosaur bones, which brings a tangible sense of reality to the creatures that once roamed our planet. The inclusion of a moon stone from the Apollo 14 mission adds an unexpected but delightful twist to the experience, bridging the gap between prehistoric life and human achievements in space exploration. They have a gift shop and they give scavenger hunt print out to keep you engage. I completed mine!
