Perot Museum of Nature and Science

The Perot Museum of Nature and Science uses a striking building near downtown Dallas to explore the natural world and human discovery.
Fossils, geology, engineering, and other scientific subjects become starting points for hands-on learning rather than a sequence of objects alone. The building's dramatic circulation adds views of the surrounding city to the experience.
Allow several hours, especially with children who want time at interactive displays. Check current exhibition and film options before booking, since some experiences can require additional tickets or timed reservations.
