Social News NetworkFebruary 27, 2013This is a great museum for families! The iMax theater is also really nice, but my personal favorite is the hands-on exhibits upstairs.
Kara BoyleNovember 19, 2011Right now there's a shark exhibit on in the large exhibit hall and at certain times of the day you can view a shark dissection. Its really a well thought out exhibit.
StealingKittySeptember 29, 2011The people that work here are fantastic. They take time to explain everything to you and have a great attitude. Great place to take the kiddos.
HISTORYApril 5, 2010In 2006, the Dallas Museum of Natural History and The Science Place merged into one institution. The planetarium produces programs exploring the far reaches of space.
DoraJuly 21, 2010Little ones up to age seven have a space of their own in the MNS Children’s Museum, including a “town” with six play sets for imaginative minds. Powered by ParentsConnect.com

KristinaFebruary 5, 2012If you are going for B of A member weekend, only the cardholder gets in. Be prepared to pay for additional guests.
Lauren FernandezMarch 6, 2010My favorite museum in Dallas - definitely check out all of the exhibits, planetarium and IMAX.
Jim TraisterJune 9, 2012The benefits od being a member are worth it....especially if you have children.
Kendall B.June 6, 2011Get in FREE the first weekend of every month after flashing your Bank of America card.
aubrey turnerFebruary 12, 2011Bigger bathrooms with changing tables upstairs. Tiny bathrooms downstairs by the childrens' area makes changing diapers a pain.
JaredMarch 19, 2011Don't expect too much from the cafe. They only have hot dogs, nachos, salads, and sliced bread sandwiches. Pretty disappointing. :-(
Micah MJune 29, 2011Really not worth the money. The science center is nice but the children' museum is a disappointment.

"A stingray touch tank caps off this intimate aquarium, perfect for kids! Each wing has lots of fish and information. The size works perfectly for kids who could get overstimulated or tired."
