Inside The Houston Police Department Museum!

By Chelsea Chance August 3, 2017

Are your kiddos future crime fighters? Do they love playing cops and robbers? Than they may love the Houston Police Museum!

The Houston Police Department museum is located in the lobby of HPD headquarters at 1200 Travis, and features unique displays and a memorial wall honoring those officers that gave their lives in the line of duty.

There are many restaurants within a short walking or driving distance. Another option is to pack a lunch and picnic at nearby Discovery Green with your kiddos!

Included among the displays are artifacts from the Honor Guard, SWAT, Mounted Patrol, badges, uniforms and other equipment utilized over the years. 
There is no charge for the Museum! And it is open Monday - Friday 9AM-9PM

Guided tours of the museum for groups of ten (10) or more must be scheduled in advance. However, the self guided tours for groups of nine (9) or less do not require a reservation.

Group tours are conducted by appointment and may be scheduled Monday - Friday at 10AM, 10:30AM or 1PM. However, smaller tours are self-guided and may be conducted anytime the museum is open!
