SCIENCE SPECTRUM & OMNI THEATER REVIEWS
My kids love it here!!!! It would be nice to see new stuff. Majority of everything there has been there since i was in elementary school!! other than that it still is exciting and prices are great to the Spectrum and the OMNI theater!!!
Great museum with tons of hands on exhibits to demonstrate a variety of scientific interests. I went with three college students that absolutely loved it. I felt that most of the exhibits would be more suited for elementary to high school aged children.
Three floors with many different kinds of exhibits and activities. We had a blast there. Entry was surprisingly affordable considering how nice it was and how much there was to do.

AMERICAN WINDMILL MUSEUM REVIEWS
This place has so much to see! From elaborate train sets to incredible doll house displays and shadow boxes. And all the Windmills!!! Lots of history on milling. There's a train story board with illustrations to check out. In addition, an original 1926 Model T is on display. It didn't hurt that I visited this museum while they hosted a Corvette show either. Amazing experience!
This is a must-stop anytime you visit Lubbock!! And affordable to bring the whole family. I went with my mom, sister, wife and kids and it didn't break the bank. Literally awesome things for everyone to see. The trains were great, and the windmills were fascinating! They also had a large room with millstones that was very cool, too!! Please go there!
Let's take a trip down history lane.. With amazing windmills and train-sets that move down the tracks! Come have some fun and enjoy yourselves... At the "American Windmill Museum"

SILENT WINGS MUSEUM REVIEWS
This is an outstanding museum, not matter what level of WWII knowledge and interest you have. The displays are fantastic and the descriptions are very thorough and accurate. The glider displays and stories are very informative and give a real appreciation for what these brave U.S. soldiers did. Highly, highly recommend stopping and staying 2-3 hours.
If you like to hear an untold story of WWII air operations theatre, step right in for a 2+ hr good time. There us a nice mix of war machines and displays. As a bonus, you can see the Lubbock airport across the operating runway.
Extensive displays, movie, giftshop. very informative about the glider program during WWII.
