Lots of fun and a great way to find out how oil was made and how we find it and bring it back to the surface. The rig is a old jack up one but the information is bang up to date. Well worth a visit.(excuse the pun). If you put the details in you satnav it takes you to... More

The design of the exhibits is well done with directional speakers in the ceiling to allow considerable content in a relatively small space over three floors. The museum explains all the aspects of operation and off shore oil exploration. The myriad of jobs involved and diversity of workers was well explained in the interactive portions of the museum. The models... More

We are not from TX and nor do we know anything about drilling rigs, so we thought this would be a unique experience. It was less about the rig and interesting facts and came across a little more about propoganda on why rigs are ok. I wouldn't say I learned too much in the way of interesting facts or information...

This was probably the most interesting museum I've ever been in. You leave with a much greater understanding of what is involved in bringing oil to us all. Also, you get a great view of the Harbor from the platforms.

We travel often and go to local museums wherever we go. This is an unusual opportunity. We all learned a lot about what is involved in offshore drilling and the life of the employees.

We toured this museum while in Galveston. It was educational and not very expensive. It is right by Harbor House Hotel. Also, you can step out onto this platform and see the cruise ships. My husband and son are still talking about this place.

After seeing all those rigs in the area, it was fun to actually visit one. Information is well presented, including a short movie as an introduction to your visit. Well worth the price.

Great for anyone who is unfamiliar or familiar with offshore or onshore oil and gas operations. Great giftshop priced very affordably!

I found this to be very educational and informative. It was great to see how they can drill underground in several directions from one rig.
