Business Review
"Took the whole family one Saturday to get out of the house and it was awesome! Lots of accessibility for a double stroller and very well air conditioned. Lovely building and incredibly friendly & helpful staff. Interactions for young children and easy-to-read plaques for elementary aged kids. Near lots of cool looking restaurants and within walking distance of a little creek type of area as well. Not a bunch of parking close by but that can’t be helped. FREE ADMISSION as well :) Highly recommend especially if you’re just starting to go out as a family as it’s smaller and not as overwhelming."
"I go here often it has a good rotation for exhibits. Amazing gift shop I have gotten so many gemstones as well as lots of good information from the workers. I visit a lot and is good for people who like rocks and good for kids. My favorite part is the mustache tea cup collection it is quite nice."
"We definitely enjoyed our visit to the Bell County Museum. We were greeted as soon as we came in and he made us feel welcome. We liked the exhibits very much, especially the one with the early modern era artifacts. It was nice to see that they have interactive activities for the kids in different areas of the museum. They also have a gift store and a library/ research area. Definitely worth a visit when you go to Belton."
