Houston Museum of Natural Science
 

Description

Houston Museum of Natural Science is an interesting showplace offering a wide variety of exhibits that are worthy of a full day's outing. The three-level live butterfly exhibit fascinates the young, as does the Challenger Learning Center with its great introduction to space science. Definitely spend some time exploring the dinosaur exhibits. Of equal appeal to the adults in the crowd are the Wiess Energy Hall and the Cullen Hall of Gems and Minerals. If you need a break, enjoy an IMAX film or sit in on one of Burke Baker Planetarium shows. Entry fees and opening hours depend on the exhibit you wish to see.

The kids place
By ,
I have 3 children ages 12-23. I've taken all of them over the last 15 years for many different events and they have loved every trip. School trips have been great and whenever they have special attractions its been great evey time! This is the family place and you don't have to spend 100's of dollars to have a great day out with the kids. Best to take those trips when the kids are 5 to 15 years old.

interesting

The main event changes ever so often, adding to variety. The butterfly exhibit is one of a kind. The IAMX is forever remembered. The dinosaur leaves you in awe.

Good place

It is a good place to take the whole family. Kids and adults can learn together. The special exhibits they get from time to time are great as well.

This is a great place to go to get in out of the sun and have fun learning. Great inexpensive weekend treat. The best time to visit is during the mornings. Also make sure to check out the movies!

Great for kids
By ,
There is a butterfly exhibit that is great for little kids to enjoy. The IMAX theater usually has a couple of films to choose from. The gift shop has alot of neat toys that will expand kid's minds and teach them about science.
