Reviews
"I needed something to pass the time while I'm in Kingsville for work. This museum has some really cool stuff and the history is very fascinating. My only complaint was not being allowed to take pictures but it didn't really bother me. For $10 you can't go wrong here."
"Not allowing pictures to be taken was a bummer..An ok museum with some history of the King Ranch and their past and present endeavors but not being able to take pictures was a bummer as I take pictures of the posted words and read later.I would not recommend this museum."
"This was a fun field trip with my daughter. We had the best tour guide in the King Ranch"
"Small museum and NO Pictures allowed!! While this museum has some interesting pieces it is small and does not allow you take any pictures. ☹️ There is also no written book containing the history of King’s Ranch. Better to save your money for the bus tour which fills up quickly and you may have to schedule for weeks in advance."
"The museum was a bit smaller than I thought it would've been and they don't allow photography. Friendly folks though and lots of history and pedigree to see. Gift shop could include bumper stickers. Be sure to also visit the store a few blocks away...lots of expensive hand-crafted stuff that was neat to look at, but above our pay grade, LOL!"
