Nice little museum with a good planetarium and good exhibits. Always strong with its summertime classes, especially for children.

I did not appreciate this museum fully until we visited with our one year old grandchild. The hands-on exhibits are terrific for all ages, and the museum is filled with these. In addition, there is a very nice planetarium, dinosaur exhibits, excellent traveling exhibits upstairs, and an Omni Theater. Highly recommended for families with children.

Museum provides a great look on the West life in the 19th century. In addition there are other interesting exhibits, such as solar science, grossology, etc ... Do not miss the journey in time, and the IMAX movies.

I took my nephew here a few months back. He's highly into science and he enjoyed this venue so much that I could barely keep up with him while here. This is a great museum to take the kids to while visiting the Fort Worth/ Dallas area.

What a great adventure for my twin granddaughters. This was a place that met all my criteria. It was an interactive place suited to the imagination of both girls. One loved the Imax cinema the best, whereas the other enjoyed the grocery cart experience and the forced air exhibit with paper and balls. And I enjoyed seeing them so happy... More

Tooks the kids here at Spring Break for the Grossology exhibit. They really enjoyed it and learned a lot through the hands-on experiences. We purchased the annual pass at a great rate and plan many return visits. You can go for a morning or afternoon but you won't get through everything. It really takes a full day or several half...
