"Best for teenagers"
This is truly an experience that will leave an impression. Leave the younger ones at home. Children below their teen years may be overwhelmed at the severity of the experience. If you kids are older, this is a must-do opportunity. Leave yourself a few hours so it isn't rushed. Take time also to hear personal accounts from the docents.

"Lots of history to learn about"
We went to the Houston Holocaust Museum with our kiddos. I wanted them to learn about the Holocaust. One feature of the museum it that it has free admission -- which is a family friendly feature. The museum has many photos and helpful information. They also have an actual train car that you can visit and walk through. And they have a memory rock garden where you can place a rock in memory of the people who lost their lives during the Holocaust.

"Small, but informative."
I enjoyed this, but my kids were not too impressed. They are three and five and there wasn't much that was interesting to them. I'd recommend this for ages 10+ because the content is pretty serious. Nothing lighthearted about this field trip, folks!

"Excellent museum and very touching."
This museum is a great place to learn about one of the most tragic events in human history. It's an extremely emotional place and I suggest only bringing your children who may be able to fully understand the importance of the museum. I took the oldest niece here when she turned 11 as she had been learning about the holocaust in class. The museum has some things to keep children entertained but it's mostly a journey through in remembrance. It's a beautiful museum and it's such a great value since it's free to visit. Please take your kids here when you feel they're old enough to understand it's impact because it's a truly important place.
Like I said I really suggest waiting till you feel your kids are old enough to understand/not get bored. That may be younger for some families but I would suggest around 12+.

"Great Learning Experience"
Although the subject of the Holocaust can be touchy and emotional, I believe that it is a great place for older children tobe brought at. This museum has articles, pictures, etc on the Holocaust where kids and even adults can learn about the tragedy. I believe that younger kids should be brought to the museum when they get a little older for them to grasp what the Holocaust was about.

"Fairly small!"
We went to this museum and the information was pretty good but it was a really small museum. The staff were pretty friendly and informative. My husband and I went and I am glad that we did not take the kids. Our kids are small and would not have found much interesting about this place. I think it might be good for high school kids who are really interested in learning more about it!

"Important place, not very graphic"
Unlike the other holocaust museums I visited, this one is much more mild-- the photos depicting the suffering are easier to view and they concentrate a lot on the victims as people (their lives before the war, and the lives of survivals after Holocaust). This makes me much more comfortable about tanking my children-- although so far I only went by myself. My oldest son is 7, I think I will wait another year or two before I would want him to see the exhibits.
