The Ocean Star Museum hosts a themed family day event, every second Sunday of the month, providing fun, family STEM activities that explore energy education and signify the importance of offshore energy systems. This is a FREE family event! Children 12 and under receive free museum admission on all family days.
The Ocean Star is retired jack-up drilling rig that operated in the Gulf of Mexico from 1969 to 1984 and drilled over 200 wells during that timeframe. In 1995, the OEC purchased the Ocean Star, and after lengthy refurbishment, opened it as a museum in 1997.
The museum is designed to be a self-guided facility with videos, information, interactive exhibits throughout, and takes most visitors about 1.5 hours to tour completely.
