Looking to read, learn, and interact with everything available? -- 1) Purchase your ticket online. 2) Plan to be there from open to close. 3) Arrive early to locate parking ! WORTH EVERY MINUTE.

Super Dad

Get a family pass; you'll love it! My kids & I have visited dozens of times over the last few months. They have a great children 's play area on LL. Race dinos, slow motion sports , & play with robots!

Rachael Hilst

If you buy a membership there are 'member only' times to get in before the general public. It's a great way to enjoy the exhibits without the crowds!! It is well worth the cost (which is reasonable)

Lisa Pilato Reagan

The dinosaur exhibit was great and the brain games were fun to to. Spent a full day so much to do. Kids enjoyed making a building sturdy enough for a 9.0 earthquake.

Emma Query

I absolutely love this museum . The exhibits are stunning and interactive, with lots of relevant modern day applications. The dinosaur exhibit is my favorite, with the minerals a close second.

Nykia

Great interactive, fun for the entire family. Plenty of hands on exhibits . The staff is very knowledgeable . They roam each exhibit/floor and offer interesting facts. A must see if you are in Dallas

Amazing museum ! Totally recommend it for anyone in town . Worth the visit for kids, adults and elders :) one can spend the whole day in here... Definitely coming back

Robyn Harman

Both adults and kids love this place! Get your tickets online ahead of time, where you can select your entry time. Great little downtown activity, where you can walk to a lunch spot after exploring.

Erik Rowley

A must visit in Dallas, beautiful, creative architecture that reflects the land. Explore 4 floors of Interactive exhibits that intrigue the mind and inspire to learn and discover our world & universe .

Khristina Quimod

This was such a fun museum to go to! Be sure to come early so you can have enough time to go to each exhibit . The cafe food was surprisingly good and be sure to go to the sports exhibit .

Luke Phillips

The premier museum in Dallas, a must-visit and over five stories of science. Geared to be kid-friendly, they also host adult-only events on weekends. Rotating exhibits keep things fresh and engaging,

Bala Krishnan

this is the best I had ever been- and the variety it serves from Dinosaurs , Birds, Minerals, Engines, SCi-fi stuff, Discovering life- its hard to come out from one domain to other when you move on.

Michael C

Easily one of the nicest, modern Natural History museums we've ever been to. Great gem and mineral collection, very informative energy learning area. Covers life sciences, ancient & modern. ????????️????❄️

Lara Olson

Teach kids about geology, outer space, and the environment while taking time to soak in the gorgeous modern architecture . Kids love playing with the neon frogs outdoor sculpture on sunny days.

PrimeTime

They have a fantastic kids area & many fantastic exhibits !! We became members because we love going there so often. Highly recommend checking it out!!

Hannah Alkadi

Interactive and informative exhibits across all sciences. You’ll see dinosaurs , experience a simulated earthquake, and admire beautiful minerals.

Steven H

Be sure to buy tickets online, and for an early time, as they let in groups by time. You can show up later, and walk right in, but if your ticket I'd for a later time, you have to wait in line !

Tulsi Sv

Multiple visits definitely required.. I had only some energy left by the time I reached the 2nd floor (from top down). Love what they've done in every section.

Fernando Covas

Water "park " at entrance is cool. Bring a swimsuit, clothes change, and towel for your kids. Moody Childrens Museum is great for kids <5. Get tix ahead of time and get there early to avoid long line .

Paige Nash

Really fun but I'd definitely go during the week so you can actually enjoy the exhibits instead of tripping over strollers and some of the touchscreen things were broken (probably from the kids)

Yanira Rios

A must see in Dallas. Children will really enjoy this interactive and educational museum . The sports hall is really fun.

Joshua Still

Lamar Hunt section was fun. Son loved racing athletes. Dinosaur exhibit is awesome. T-Rex and Apatosaurus fossils among the best.

William Trowbridge

Animals Inside Out Exhibit was FANTASTIC. Building was fantastic. Other than that this museum is mostly for children from 4 to 12ish. More of a science place instead of a museum .

Anyone with the ability to rationally comprehend the information provided, could never leave this museum believing in Creationism. Intellectual honesty & examination of facts leads to the real truth!☺

The Ritz-Carlton

The newly veiled Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Downtown Dallas is a high-energy, hands-on science museum with 5 floors of exhibits , 3D computer animation and life-like simulation.

Dolly

So much fun! Not only for the kids but adults as well . If you are. Bank of America card holder you can receive free admission the first weekend of every month. Check the website.

The Daytripper

If you’ve ever been curious about anything…at all…then head to the Perot Museum . Here you’ll find all kinds of exhibits on dinosaurs , cadavers, robotics, sports and much more.

Dustin Haley

One of the best museums I've been to. Very modern and interactive. First weekend of the month is free for Bank of America customers!

Freddie Medrano

The architecture is absolutely stunning and the exhibits and very insightful. Great educational experience.

Carlos Lopez

Amazing museum with lots of interactive exhibits ! Try "racing a t-rex" on the lower floor! Great for kids and adults

Matt Massey

This is a really cool place. However, you may have to punt a few kids out of the way to get through the place.

Megan Lowrance

This place is amazing. Take your time. See everything and catch a movie as well . The cafe is a little pricey , but tasty. Love this museum !

Emily

Went on a weekday and it was mobbed with hundreds of kids (mostly younger) on field trips; most of the groups left around 2pm. Many of the interactive exhibits were broken. Still a cool place!

DailyCandy

If you’re even remotely curious about the natural world, set aside a good five hours to wander through this interactive science museum that’s geared toward kids.

R J

Perot Museum of Nature and Science at 15 minutes drive to the west of Glow Dental and Implant Center

Heidi Snelgrove

This is an amazing way to spend a day. Just remember to book ahead by getting tickets online.

Becky Henderson

Very kid centric. We had a city pass but still had to wait 30 minutes online which was a little ridiculous. It’s a very informational place with lots to do. It’s very “pro” oil/ natural gas.

Jim Traister

Make sure you head up to the 4th floor and you/your kids to use the interactive bird simulation (free).

Greg H.

Overall a great museum . Place is huge so be ready to walk. Bring your lunch or walk to El Fenix. Cafe is small, crowded and overpriced. Food is amusement park quality. Wear shorts it is hot here!

Andre Beaumont

Pricey , but fun. My kids loved the build-a-bird game and the dinosaurs .

Sevi Ware

Always secure your tickets online beforehand. It'll help you get in faster and you can always apply those tickets purchased to a membership!

A

You don't have to be a kid to enjoy this museum . Super enjoyable and interesting for adults too.

Sandra Musclé

Bring your patience. Leave the stroller if you can & take the stairs. The Museum is just beautiful! Great Job!!!

Nina K

If possible, try to go during the week. It's worth it to avoid the crowds and get to enjoy all the exhibits .

Tabitha Magers

Great interactive areas like the sports area. My young kids love the kids play/learn area, especially the kids market .

Katie Eaton

Lots to do with my oldest child (6 years old) and teachers get in free with current ID!

Mara

to all customers of Bank of America: you get free admission on first weekend of each month!! :D

Lydia Villanueva

Very educational and a lot of fun.
