Are you looking for something out of the ordinary to take this spring break? How does the race of a dinosaur sound? What about playing in a brilliant world of color and light? Or put a laboratory blouse and have an experience?
You and children can do all these things and more Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas. Currently, the museum celebrates spring holidays, and just spring in general, with activities inside and outside the museum.
Start your visit to the museum square. You can absorb the sun and children can play a leap on the giant green frogs of the museum. There is no food or drink allowed in the museum, but you can buy snacks on the square before you go inside.
There is even a drinking station adapted to children with garnishes such as gummer bears and pop rocks; And adults can enjoy spring weather in the square while sipping drinks like beer, wine and mimosas. You can also head inside the Museum Café where there are additional food options.
Once you are inside, explore the permanent exhibition halls where you can see bones of ancient dinosaurs, fossils and precious jewels; Take a look expanded on our solar system and make a little observation. You can even run a dinosaur in the gym at the bottom.
Head to the lower level and consult the Glow Lab exhibition, a colored lit area filled with modular inflatable units. Perfect for selfies or just to climb!
Finally, the Perot is a museum of world class sciences, which means that there are STEM activities in Gogo.
Science on Stage offers two scientific demonstrations live from Perot Educators. By relying for space, children discover how the different sciences come together to design modern spatial combinations. And in thermal reactions, they will see from the first hand how the material changes when we add and remove extreme quantities of heat.
And no day in science is complete without practical activities. In Bio Lab, children can take a laboratory blouse and carry out experiments such as exploring how sound moves through our body. There is also Challenge Lab, a creative space where children can create and enjoy art, engineering and technological programs.
