My daughter loves to go to the Grace Museum. She loves to go to the little play area they have. When they do their cleaning break she loves to go to the arts and crafts room right across from the play area. Definitely recommend going and having your little ones plays.

Ive grown up visiting The Grace Museum and I am so glad the quality has only gone up since I was a kid. They have many pieces that fit the space with great lighting to allow us to see each piece of art. I also enjoyed learning about the history behind the Grace museum and my favorite was the third floor. My 3-year-old niece enjoyed the childrens floor where there were a lot of opportunities for learning and playing. I am looking forward to going back and visiting in the future!

The staff at the Grace were super accommodating and very friendly. We recently rented the rooftop for a small picnic for a going away party for some friends.. Thomas (I think that was his name) worked us in last minute and even took time to snap a few pictures for us. We really appreciated them, highly recommend the Grace for your event, big or small!

I used to come here as a child, and it was my most favorite place. I hadn t been home in 13 years, and the Grace was one of two reasons why I came back to Texas for Christmas. I took my children to see why I love The Grace so much, and It. Did. Not. Disappoint.! I also want to give so much thanks to the wonderful staff for making it feel like home again. Honestly, the woman that greeted us, (I apologize for forgetting her name), made such an impression on my children and I, that we will always remember how warm and welcoming she was. Thank you to The Grace Museum for all of the memories that I have, and for making new memories for my children.

I love the grace Museum but I do think the staff should be more trained properly in the circumstances of having kids with autism there. I took my children there today and they are both nonverbal and cannot communicate back to people they also have no understanding of inside voice and outside voice. I was in the play area with them and one of the cleaning ladies kept telling my kids that they needed to be quiet and not be so loud she proceeded to tell them this three times and them not being verbal they couldnt communicate back to her as she was getting more upset with them each time and given there is only two other kids in the play area with them, I was upset it is a kids play area and I believe kids should be able to be kids. I just wanted to take them someplace they could play and not have to worry about people judging them. I finally took my kids home after the third time of this lady telling then they needed to be quite

If you re considering getting a membership to utilize the children s play area upstairs as a fun place for your kids to be kids on a rainy afternoon, think again. There s a KAREN there who will follow your toddler around chastising them before you even have a chance. I d been there a handful of times with no issue, but this last visit made me regret buying an annual membership and definitely ensured I will not purchase one again or recommend the museum to friends. Obviously kids will run and be loud, obviously most parents will correct them. Having a bored, old woman there with nothing to do other than follow your children around literally putting toys away while your kid is still using them and shushing them as if it s a library is rather ridiculous. We ve never had an incident with the other staff members. Some people just aren t good around children.

What a beautiful museum! Small, but I love being able to see inside the old hotel. There are art galleries on the first two floors, a super fun kids space on the second floor, and more local history on the third. I really enjoyed it and learning more about Abilene! The original train station is right across the street and several of the storybook character statues are in the immediate area. There is dedicated parking for the museum, behind the hotel (opposite from the front corner entrance), both covered and uncovered. I found plenty of street parking as well right on the corner. Theres a coffee shop and restaurant nearby that looked like they were serving at 10 am.

Stopped in Abilene for a few hours and popped into this little museum. It s a combination of art, kid s stuff, and history. The building was originally built to be a hotel, and the third floor has some history about it. The lady working the front desk was super nice and informative. She explained the layout of the museum since it was my first visit. I also asked for recommendations for the city, and she was very helpful with things to see and eat.

Our family of seven visited The Grace in the morning. Our five children had an amazing time discovering all the kinds of art they could make in the play zone. The VW Bug was a huge hit for our three-year-old. Our seven-year-old loved the stage area and the Astronaut costumes. Our eight-year-old was amazed by the touchscreen draw creator. And our five-year-old and six-year-old loved the play centers. The art installations on communication and the arts were beautifully displayed and the children found them most interesting. The period rooms and the hotel room would have looked like at The Grace for was very interesting and was loved and cared for. I enjoyed the dresses and many types of hand fans. We could not have been more entertained by this outing. It was also a great place to be out of the hot sun.
