Perot Cafe - Dallas

This is a really lovely museum. My husband and I zoomed through in about two hours. If you have children with you (which would truly be perfect) you’ll want to plan on longer. You’re taken up to start the adventure on the fourth floor via escalator. There are elevators available if needed. It’s very easy to follow the flow of the layout so you don’t miss anything. Tons of hands-on activities along the way.

Be sure to purchase your timed tickets in advance! We were a bit late getting ours and ended up with a 12:30 time slot, but it was well worth it. The venue features multiple floors of incredible interactive exhibits that can easily take up an entire day to explore. We spent four hours there and felt like we were rushing through it. My four kids, who are between 3 and 10 years old, particularly loved the dinosaur and robotics sections, but honestly, everything was fantastic! We're definitely planning to return for more exploration.

Great play area for kids on the lower level, each floor has its big hit, though floor 4 has a ton of fun activities! Took our little one and had a blast. Only reason for 4 stars is because their additional Lego exhibit was an extra $8 and I find that to be a bit pricey for what you get. Only reason it’d be worth it is if you have a little builder to sit and build in a somewhat dimly lot ballroom. Wish they would make these included in the price. Other note is that they’re pretty strict about mask wearing apparently “science” is a marketing ploy ; .

What a wonderful little gem of a museum! There’s an incredible amount to see and do, making it easy to spend hours exploring. I've visited a few times, both for school field trips and for a family day during my last visit in August 2021. My favorite section is definitely the dinosaur exhibit, which features a fantastic assortment of fossils and informative displays. My toddler was absolutely fascinated! The gem, crystal, and mineral area is also stunning. There are plenty of hands-on activities for kids to enjoy as well. I recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid crowds. The gift shop is excellent, with reasonable prices, and the café offers pretty decent options too! If you have little ones, don’t miss the children's play area located at the bottom of the building. There’s so much to see and do—it's simply adorable inside!

What a great museum. Lots of interesting exhibits. Some interactive. Great place to bring the kids. Perfect place for all ages. We went for during the Lego towers of tomorrow..so cool! The minerals and gems exhibit is a must see! Even outside there were things to see. Beautiful building insufferable and out.
