7. Corpus Christi Museum of Science & History

DOWNTOWN.   This museum emphasizes Southeast Texas's rich scientific and cultural history through well-conceived exhibits that chronicle everything from the impact of Columbus on the New World to the Native American experience in Texas to the area's fascinating geological history. The facility also houses a gift shop that sells rocks and minerals, fine jewelry, and even toys. If you're looking for a special keepsake, museum-quality reproductions of Spanish astrolabes are hand-cast in bronze and look exactly like the originals on exhibit.   (© 10Best)
