Setting Indoor

The anchor of the Fort Worth Cultural District and one of the best rainy-day plays in North Texas. The Childrens Museum wing is built for babies through about age eight with a water play area, a toddler-scale grocery store, and a dinosaur dig pit. Older kids get the DinoLabs fossil hall, a full Omni IMAX-style dome theater, and the Noble Planetarium for star shows. Energy and innovation exhibits tie into Texas oil and gas in a way that actually lands with school-age kids. Half a day here is easy and the dome theater is a good reset when everyone is fried.
