5 /5 Michelle Contreras: My family and I absolutely love the Children’s Museum at the Museum of the Southwest in Midland, Texas. We’ve visited on both paid days and Free Sundays, and it’s always been a fantastic experience. I have a 3-year-old and a 13-year-old, and I’ve been bringing them since they were little. They both enjoy exploring the entire space, engaging with all the interactive exhibits. My youngest son had an absolute blast, and my oldest still loves it just as much. One of the highlights for us is the train shack outside, which especially captured my oldest’s attention. The staff member there was enthusiastic, taking the time to play “I Spy” with the kids, which truly enhanced our experience.
The staff is friendly, and the museum is always clean, making it a comfortable and welcoming environment for families. For adults, the art displays are stunning. Every time we visit, there’s something new, and the exhibits never fail to amaze. Even my kids love to engage with the art and statues, which is wonderful to see. We always make sure to visit the planetarium building too, it’s a must! I’m so thankful that Midland, Texas, has such enriching places like this for our kids to enjoy and learn. We will continue to make this a family tradition for years to come.
