Description

This delightful collection of tactile displays encourages learning by children and adults alike. A ferocious dinosaur offers greetings in the front walkway; from there, attractive and enticing exhibits branch out in all directions. There are nine permanent galleries with themes ranging from Texas history to computers to fossils. Two of these include Dino Dig and KidSpace, specifically designed for younger children. One of the most popular attractions is the Omni Theater, an IMAX theater that shows 70mm films on a huge screen. The Noble Planetarium presents programs about astrology. Features and show times vary. Museum admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors and $5 for children ages 3-12. Combination tickets are also available for the Omni Theater and Noble Plantetarium. Call the box office for details.
