🦖🔬 Perot Museum of Nature and Science

First Visit Flashback 📆: Came here in 2017 for a conference—loved it then, love it even more now with my 5-year-old! This place is a time machine meets playground. 🦕🎠 🌍 What’s Inside: Dino Skeletons: Real fossils! My kid tried to “adopt” a T-Rex. 🦴💔 Geology Zone: Glowing rocks, earthquake simulators… and a Texas-sized oil rig model. 🛢️🌋 Human Evolution Hall: Stared at a Neanderthal skull way longer than I’d admit. 🧠🦴 Interactive Games: Build a robot, launch a rocket—science is fun here! 🤖🚀 👧👦 Kid-Friendly Vibe: My 5-year-old: “Can we live here?” 🥺🏠 Adults: Sneak in for a “quick” visit… leave 4 hours later. 🕒😅 💰 Budget Hack: Free entry with Austin Thinkery membership! 🎟️🆓 Parking: Just $10. (Dallas, are you sure this isn’t a typo?) 🚗💲 😢 Side Note: Recently visited Guilin’s geology museum in China—stunning collection, but stuck in the 90s. 🏛️😢 Perot Museum, you’re winning at life. Final Verdict: Small museum? Yes. Boring? HELL NO. Bring your kids, your inner kid, or just your curiosity. 🧒👶🔍 #DallasMuseum #KidFriendly #ScienceIsCool #WeekendPlans 🦖🔬
