## About

The Bullock Texas State History Museum in downtown Austin brings Texas history to life with three floors of interactive exhibits. Over Thanksgiving week, families can explore the reconstructed 17th-century French shipwreck La Belle, examine genuine NASA artifacts and space suits, and participate in family discovery carts located throughout the galleries. The museum's Texas Spirit Theater features multisensory special effects (wind and fog), and IMAX educational documentaries offer immersive big-screen journeys.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Complete wheelchair and stroller accessibility with large elevators, wide corridors, and automatic doors.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Family restrooms on each floor with diaper-changing stations; nursing nook on the second floor.
• Age Suitability: All ages; interactive touchscreen exhibits and artifact discovery carts keep kids ages 4 to 15 engaged.
• Sensory Tips: The lobby and theater spaces can be echoey. The second and third floor gallery halls offer quieter museum pacing.
