Its worth watching a movie in the planetarium as well as the planet sphere. It has a canvas collection that is worth looking at, both inside the mansion as well as the annex building that currently has modern art.

A nice little museum and an art gallery, hit it if you have hour or two to spare.We enjoyed Lloyd Wright on display and a nice video about space probes.

Super cool place. W did family pictures out front and they turned out great

What a fun afternoon!! I highly recommend renting out the planetarium right now. At $30, for an hour, with the whole place to yourselves its a steal!!!

This museum is our local gem. I bring my kids here every so often and we always enjoy it.

The farmers market is here every Saturday for the summer. What a find. Buy some homemade watermelon jam, some fresh bread, and sit under a shady tree outside the beautiful building to eat it! What more can one need Saturday morning. Oh yeah, and theres an entire museum/planetarium here too.

I love this place! My kids really enjoy this place, The staff is helpful and friendly! Great place to bring the Kids to and let them play for hours! On Sundays the entrance fee is free and on Sundays in the summer, They offer free concerts on their lawn. Pretty great place!

Enjoyed our visit today. Enjoyed a traveling photography exhibit Into The Great White Sands by Craig Varjibedian and learned a lot about the history of Midlands first families.

I had a wonderful time seeing the art and the Turner house that has a interesting history.

This is a small but interesting museum. I only saw the visiting exhibits. Nice sculptures on the grounds. Note that the parking lot is on K street.

My family was visiting from out of town. We went to the museum during the Christmas holidays. It was such a beautiful sight. The atmosphere was calm and the staff working were very polite. All 14 of us would recommend.

We absolutely love this place. They have great people and a wonderful set up. They also have lots of fun things set up for kids on certain days. Definitely check this place out. We go as often as we can.

Great place to come for a couple of hours. You learn so much about Midland, well west Texas in general

Great little museum with friendly staff. Had a special free entry on Sundays thanks to Cimarex. Still wishing to get a chance to visit the planetarium on site sometime in the future.

A lot of the museum was closed for some reason or another. There was barely anything to do at the childrens museum since the second floor was closed. Also the restrooms were in awful condition. We didnt get to see hardly any of the art museum because they were decorating for Christmas...seems like something they could do after hours. The planetarium showing was informative and enjoyable. The grounds were pretty.

Art museum is really nice always something new. Children’s Museum is in some serious need of updating and cleaning and these “renovations” need to be starting soon or they just need to reopen the upstairs children’s area. The planetarium is small and needs some fixes but still nice to visit.

We love this little hidden gem. My kids enjoyed the art exhibit and childrens museum. The planetarium alone was worth going.

Always an interesting display happening. We love going to Rein Beer around the holidays and the farmers market in the spring and summer. Have yet to try the outdoor concerts but that is on the to-do list. The lawn is gorgeously landscaped and has statues. Its a beautiful place to be surrounded by greenery.

We went to music on the grass .good fun live music,blues light rock. Family fun

I love this museum. So informative and so many different sights to take in.

Very Nice Museum. Art show was very nice.Planetarium is awesome.

Fantastic museum with multiple kinds of exhibits. Very kid friendly.

We absolutely love this place.

Was at the farmers market, and needed to use the bathroom quite badly. $5 to enter the museum? Sounds like a deal for a real potty... my girlfriend having eyed the ports john and found it lacking. The $5 gets you access to a very nice bathroom and all 3 buildings, the museum, kids museum and planetarium. The museum had the usual ironic art, but also had some amazing native American displays and very nice bathrooms. The only cool display in the planetarium was about how much a bottle of water would weight on each planet. The rest reminded me of 1990 traveling science displays. We didnt get to the kids museum. Did I mention the bathrooms where nice?

We really appreciate that they host so many different activities out here. The farmers market is always fun to go walk through and support. Having the concerts in the park here in the summer is also great. Its so good to see the local arts being supported.

Elegant museum that captures your interest am awe and a lovely venue for events.

Perfect museum. It shares not only artwork, but a history of the house, family, and town. The planetarium is fascinating. They even do special shows. There is a very interactive childrens museum. Alot of educational toys. Fun place. Certain Saturdays a month they do the midland flea market. Absolutely amazing.

We love being there at part of the Farmers Market just wish they wouldnt have changed Farmers Market on us it was a bender there they made it to hard

WIsh we had come to explore this museum sooner! Now we always take family and friends who come to visit, very cool to walk through the historic house and learn about early Midland and the families that shaped it. They also host festivals and farmers markets which are nice too. Definitely worth checking out.

Saturday morning farmers market. Local goods and produce. Once a month for the winter season and every week in the summer. Get breakfast if youre able to :)

Great place for family fun or to go with a group. Lots of activities for kids of all ages. My 3 year old daughter loved the play areas, my 7year old son liked the sound wall and planetarium, and there was an area for babies. The art museum has a artist on display who painted a portrait of Santa every year since 1972 and it was great to see it throughout the years. The staff was very friendly and the buildings clean.

Great historic place to visit! Kids museums and awesome planetarium!

Awesome time with awesome friends & great music

Nice to sit on the lawn and listem to live music

Love this museum, and the Nita Stewart Haley library and museum too!

Small but packed with things to do and see. We spent a couple of hours here and loved our time. What a gem hidden among the oilfields.

I have loved this place over 20 years now, but recently disappointed when I took my grandchildren to the children’s museum, and got to only see half the museum for the same full price. The upstairs part was all closed up. I sure hope there are plans to re-open, that has remained my kids favorite part of the museum, and was hoping to introduce the grandkids to it.

Love taking my kids and wife here. Always fun. They have fish, music, and a small kid city built inside the building. really cool.

Good place, I thought it would need bigger!

The newly remodeled art gallery is really impressive. It houses some very unique and beautiful pieces. I was especially interested by the horizon scape of which only a small 8-foot section of the whole 75 is on display.Theres also a fun kids museum with indoor mini-golf and lots of fun play rooms like a pretend grocery store and a be-the-weather-forecaster room. Great for younger kids!Also on the grounds is a Planetarium with a 3D projector. My kids went to a 3D showing and cant stop talking about it.My wife joined as a member so we can go anytime, other wise the admission is very reasonable. All three attractions are covered in the price:$5 for adults and young adults age 12 and above$3 for children ages 3 to 11, seniors over the age of 65 and active military personnelChildren ages 2 and under are free

Dont visit on Saturday. Call ahead to ensure the Childrens Museum is open or not. The 3D show was informative and entertaining, historically accurate but the screen appeared very dark and hard to see.

Great place to go with the kids. Kids live the Planetarium. The saturday Farmers Market is also great, get there early though or everything us soldout.

A very nice and relaxing experience. I really enjoy the paintings in the art museum most of all. While nice, I feel the planetarium could use a little work.

Beautiful art and the kids love the childrens museum.

A very nice museum. I also enjoyed going to the Planetarium. Take Note: All Sundays Free admission to Museum, Planetarium & its done shows.

Please visit!!!! We spent our entire afternoon thinking it will be boring, it was not. Really interesting.

Really enjoyed the visit to see President George Bushs exhibit. The entire staff was friendly and very informative.

Sunday night lawn and live music are a great wind down for any week.

The farmers market is so awesome. The vendors were great and I was able to get some fantastic honeyroo tea!

Great exhibits, very kind staff. Great low priced family entertainment

It was ok i just wish there was some hands on things for kids to do like crafts!!

A gem in the midst of a neighborhood. There are several statues to view while exploring the grounds. They also hold outdoor events on the weekends throughout the spring and summer.

Quaint little place. Its charm is more the small events they have (e.g. honey bees, crafts/food), than the art itself.

Great place to take the kids for family Fridays. I enjoy going to their many events and exhibits.

Very nice place to visit in Midland!

I take my grandchildren all summer! My 4 year old decided he wants to be a paleontologist after attending the dinosaur exhibit last summer! Thanks for having something fun and affordable, plus educational & enteractive for families! So few things to do like this in Midland!

We love this museum. The summer lawn concerts are a perfect family evening out. The Farmers Market on Saturdays is fun. The Family-Free-For-Alls, Family Fridays, and SciFridays are great ways to hang out, socialize, and learn. And the planetarium is a free 3-D upgrade on Fridays.

Music on the lawn was good.

Went and listened to some good music there and had a really good time!!

Attended the Farmers Market on Saturdays and always great to browse and buy locally.

Photographers delight!

This place offers fantastic exhibits. The free out door concerts are super fun, great for families.

Alot of interesting art and crafts in this place.

This is one of the few places to take younger children to in or around the Midland/Odessa area. It is fairly inexpensive but I wish there was a little more to do here with more interavtice things. Many of the features didnt work and most of the place is outdated.

Delightful time in museum, enjoyed exhibits ans paintings. Enjoyed the loop around the museum containing oil field equipment.

Great place to take your family and little ones to learn some history

Nice place, we go to the farmers market on Saturday mornings

Love when they had the farmers market here that has all the fresh produce they have people that bake gluten-free

The kids loved it and its my first experience going to an art gallery and I was impressed

The museum was great but small I expected more from the planetarium

It. Was. Great. Mary. Murphy

Outdoor lawn concerts lots of fun.

Amazing museum, always cool stuff going on for the family.

Nice museum!! Lots of history to experience!!

Only a quarter of it is accessible and not under construction.

Fun place with lots to do and see.

Very informative, worth the stop for young and old alike.

Fun Saturday morning farmers market run

My son loved this place when he went with his school. Would love to take him again but this time as a family!

The farmers market was fantastic...I didnt know all the other things were there. Plan on going back to explore.

They hosted a solar eclipse event have out free solar eclipse glasses had food trucks and various telescopes to view the eclipse. Met very nice people.

Friendly people and clean place. Just small and not a lot to do.

Best place to take pictures for graduation and as well family pictures too

Nice enough. Sundays are free, use it to your advantage.

Great place and people.

Fun place to learn about West Texas

So much fun for kids of all ages.

Place for good farmers market..

Great Farmers market on Saturdays, dog friendly, great selection

Love going there for the Farmers Market

I was surprised with how nice the exhibits are

Great place to take outdoor photos

Great family spot to explore

A gem in a town that you wouldnt think about. Lots to do here for adults and kids and you will learn things about the area you didnt know before.

Good place to take family.

Great place for the Summer lawn concerts!

Farmers market on Saturday and Concert on Sunday

CLOSED FOR RENOVATION !!! NO NOTICE, NOTHING POSTED ON THEIR WEBPAGE OR AT THE LOCATION. FIND OUT FROM CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AT THE SITE. WHAT A JOKE, DRIVE ALL THE WAY HERE TO SEE IT AND CANT GET IN

Kind and a quick fun visit

A fun art museum in an old mansion.
