## About

The Witte Museum stands where nature, science, and Texas culture meet along the banks of the San Antonio River. During Thanksgiving week, the museum invites families to dive into Texas paleontology and natural science. Children can stand face-to-face with life-sized Cretaceous dinosaur skeletons in the Naylor Family Dinosaur Gallery, investigate live native reptiles and fish in the McLean Family Texas Wild Gallery, and test their balance, heart rate, and agility across four floors of interactive challenges inside the H-E-B Body Adventure. Daily family labs guide young explorers through fossil casting and autumn ecosystems.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible museum with wide gallery paths, ramps, and elevators; free coat and stroller check available at admissions.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Private lactation room with comfortable seating on the main level; spacious family restrooms with changing stations on each floor.
• Age Suitability: Tailored for children of all ages, with tactile exhibits for preschoolers and deep scientific discovery for school-age kids and teens.
• Sensory Tips: Exhibits balance energetic interactive games with quiet, dimly lit historical and natural history halls; sensory kits with headphones available upon request.
