Houston Family Fun | The Houston Museum of Natural Science
Are you looking for a fun family outing this summer? Somewhere indoors to beat the heat, but educational to keep those little minds stimulated? The Houston Museum of Natural Science has something for everyone, big and small. Not only do they have their permanent exhibits but there are also travelling ones as well.
Some of the favorite tried and true things to visit include; the Texas Wildlife Exhibit, which includes plants and animals from the seven biotic regions of Texas; the Welch Chemistry Hall and its interactive displays; and Paleontology, containing over sixty dinosaur skeleton mounts, it is one of the largest paleontology halls in the country.
About the Museum
Do not forget to stop by the Cockrell Butterfly Center while you are there. This three story glass building, filled with live butterflies and tropical plants, is quite the experience for all ages. This interactive exhibit is one your kids are sure to remember. The upcoming temporary exhibit is Faces From the Southern Ocean, a selection of photography by J.J. L’Heureux.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science ranks just below New York City’s American Museum of Natural History and M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco as most attended, excluding the Smithsonian Museums.
Looking for a way to escape the summer heat? Make your way to The Houston Museum of Natural Science for some Houston Family Fun!
