Houston Museum of Natural Science stacks dinosaurs, gems, wildlife dioramas, ancient cultures, chemistry, energy, and space science into a landmark Museum District building. The towering paleontology hall is the headline, but the sparkling mineral collection, planetarium, giant-screen theater, and rotating exhibitions can easily turn a short visit into a full day. Come to Houston Museum of Natural Science curious, skip the urge to see everything, and follow the work that holds your attention.
