Worth a membership for multiple visits. Great interactive exhibits for all ages.
Doug GibbsFebruary 27, 2016Amazing place. Great exhibits, many interactive. It's a must do if you have kids.
Andra ZapartanJuly 26, 2016This museum is packed with cool stuff, like this fossil from about 120 million years ago. How cool is that?! Also, they have great collections at the Eye of the Collector exhibition. Don't miss it!
BradJanuary 13, 2013Get a membership! You'll be coming back more than once. Pay for parking inside. It's halo price for members. Book the "Members Only" entry time and beat the crowds!
Liz CurrierAugust 3, 2015Earth Science majors need to go... If you aren't a science geek, you'll still be amazed and love this place!!!
If your kids can't read yet, move quickly through the top 2-3 floors so you can spend more time with the hands-on stuff.
Rachel BergerFebruary 23, 2016easily the coolest museum I've been to. if you're crunched for time, check out the second floor first!!
Dallas ObserverOctober 16, 2013The real treat here is the astronaut ice cream: you can eat the same ice cream 344,000 meters below as the men cruising in space.
Charlie ParhamJanuary 10, 2015Kid six or under? Your first stop must be the children's area downstairs. Sometimes this is the only place we go!
Patricia ValleApril 19, 2014This place is awesome! Definitely watch an IMAX movie and get there early to avoid crowds
Eddy BadrinaJanuary 2, 2013If you've got kids, just save yourself the money and buy a membership. An interested 8 yr old can only take in one floor at a time before intellectual overload. Multiple visits required.

Andrea SitlerDecember 4, 2013Great place for the children. Take time to enjoy the outdoor park area as well as the museum.
Jamie ElliottDecember 30, 2012Totally awesome! Could spend a week here. Order tickets in advance. Robot room is crazy for kids 10 + up to adults!
Edward AndersonAugust 29, 2014Get here early if you can. There's a bunch of stuff to see and do, plus it fills up quick.
John BJanuary 24, 2015Social Science is a great time! The tour through the universe exhibit is really cool.
Molly Karol SprattJanuary 1, 2013Museum was very cool, but very crowded. LOTS OF CHILDREN, not really a museum for adults without kids. Lines were long, and it was difficult to read with people bumping and standing around.
Such a fabulous place to visit. Teachers get in free but you must show your ID.
Amanda KaufmanDecember 27, 2012BUY YOUR TICKETS AND PARKING IN ADVANCE ONLINE! They monitor how many people are allowed to enter at one time, so don't show up unannounced... You'll likely be turned away.
Aimee VolberdingJune 18, 2013Take the escalator all the way up to the top and work your way down. Awesome views!
PatrickDecember 26, 2015Great normal and special exhibits. Leave a lot of time as there is tons to do.
Donna CarringtonMay 30, 2017Simply amazing. It's a great place for kids to learn and broaden their minds.
Check out the small wind and solar sections behind the huge fracking drill area! Great stuff for our future renewables kids.
Mike DunlapDecember 15, 2012Great museum, but it needs to make one day (or evening) each week for adults only.
Love this place. Check out their special exhibits often!
Henni PurwantiDecember 1, 2015I love to go to this place, we can learn a lot of knowledge and history
Adam TerryFebruary 28, 2015Collection of rare gems and stone, amazing building, interactive exhibits- Nathan GathrightJanuary 11, 2013Park across from the north end apartments for $1 parking. @Cedar Springs & Field
Arianna RojoJuly 15, 2014Been here twice, but got to do more this time around though 3 hours was not enough time! 3D movie and extra exhibit not worth it just go to the regular exhibits.
Early member hours are worth the cost of membership especially if you have kids and would like to avoid crowds and long lines.
Don't plan to see everything in one day with young children. Get a membership and come back another day!
Natalie BurnsOctober 10, 2015It's a fun place to kill some time. However, it can get really crowded in some sections of the museum.
Lewis BeasimerJune 2, 2013Bank of America account holders get in free the first weekend of the month through the "Museum On Us" program.
Perhaps it was due to extended hours, there were a number of malfunctioning and broken interactions. As an adult, you will comprehend minds and ways of how destructive children can be at this place.
Everyone starts from top and works way down, so do the opposite to avoid crowds.
Timothy MöhleJanuary 16, 2016Save yourself aggregation and buy tickets in advance online. The lines are consistently ridiculous.
If you want a good workout while you visit, take the stairs!
