Dedicated to educating children about the natural and cultural history of the world we live in, the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History can be found right on the waterfront in Corpus Christi. The exhibits have a special focus on the history of South Texas, and highlights include artifacts from a 1686 Spanish shipwreck, an exhibit about the geology of Texas, and a 5,000-square-foot science center filled with interactive exhibits. Day programs for homeschooled kids are offered on a monthly basis, and every second Sunday, the museum hosts an afternoon of hands-on activities designed for families.
