A natural history and Texas heritage museum on the edge of Brackenridge Park with a strong dinosaur hall and a lot of hands-on space. The Naylor Family Dinosaur Gallery has mounted skeletons and a dig area, and the McLean Family Texas Wild Gallery covers the states ecoregions with taxidermy dioramas kids can get close to. The four-story HEB Body Adventure is essentially an indoor obstacle course about how bodies work. Riverside outdoor areas and a treehouse-style science center add more if the weather holds. Easily a half day.
