One of the coolest places in Houston! They've got a huge dinosaur hall, gorgeous gems and minerals, a mummy, and a ton more cool stuff. I've been dozens of times and it still hasn't gotten old. Plus they recently remodeled the dinosaur hall, so if you haven't been in awhile, you need to check it out! This is one of the first places I'd take a someone who was visiting or just moved here.

2007 | Best Family Outing

Houston was once home to AstroWorld, amusement park extraordinaire. Sadly, AstroWorld is gone, but we still have a world-class family entertainment facility – the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Wait, wait, yes, it's a museum, but it's not the kind where you have to whisper and the exhibits are safely tucked behind velvet ropes. Here, kids are encouraged to talk and touch, even to squeal with delight, if they are so moved. Blending education with entertainment, the museum presents a... More »
2002 | Best Place for a Kid's Birthday Party

As the song goes, "Ain't nothin' like the real thing." If you're doing a dino-party, you really can't beat the ambience of celebrating amid actual dinosaurs.

Think about it too long and you're likely to have an anxiety attack. Calm down. Take deep breaths. Rent out the Houston Museum of Natural Science paleontology hall instead. Comparatively,... More »
2000 | Best Museum Gift Shop

Make this one plural, as in Best Shops. The Houston Museum of Natural Science severs the traditional museum gift store into a parent-and-child participatory sport. Mom and Dad -- or just those without children -- get their consumer time in the fairly upscale Collector's Gift Shop. The quiet confines with classy thick wood accents offer up genuine collectibles and quality goods, ranging from luminous butterfly wings pressed into glass to C.L. Whiting's "leaf leather" purses and accessories.... More »
