Visitors appreciate the museum's focus on South Texas history, including displays on shipwrecks, the Karankawa Indians, and early settlers. The museum's hands-on exhibits, particularly in the science section, are popular among families and children.

The museum's collection of artifacts from the 1554 Spanish shipwrecks is often highlighted as a standout feature. While many find the museum informative and enjoyable, a few visitors note that the experience might be somewhat brief for the admission price. Overall, the museum provides a good introduction to the region's history and science, though the quality of exhibits can be inconsistent.
