Houston Museum of Natural Science

The Houston Museum of Natural Science, located in Hermann Park, is Houston's most popular museum, with visitors of all ages. This massive complex covers the time from the period of the dinosaurs to the space age. The Hall of Paleontology, which houses several dinosaur skeletons, is typically a crowd-pleaser, but the museum has a lot more to offer.

The museum has a planetarium, a butterfly center, and a giant screen theater in addition to its extensive collections of fossils, dinosaur bones, jewels, and ancient artifacts from Egypt and North America. The museum has two satellite facilities: The George Observatory in Fort Bend County, which houses one of the country's largest public telescopes, and The Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land, which features exhibits on dinosaurs, mineralogy, exotic live insects, and more. A guided tour can be booked for a small fee in addition to your entry. This is a wonderful method to gain a general idea of what you're viewing and learn more about it.
