Perot Museum of Nature and Science
Five floors of hands-on science in downtown Dallas with dinosaur skeletons, an earthquake simulator, and a toddler discovery floor.
Five floors of genuinely hands-on science in a building that looks like a giant concrete cube someone dropped downtown. Kids race a T. rex on a 50-yard track, ride a chair up a cable in the engineering hall, and stand in a shake platform that simulates a real earthquake. The dinosaur hall is the crowd favorite with full mounted skeletons including an Alamosaurus that fills the room. The Moody Family Childrens Museum on the lower level is built for under-fives with water tables, a climbing structure, and a farmers market play area. Plan three hours minimum and buy tickets ahead on rainy weekends because it gets packed.
