Spring Break Science Spectacular

Spring break is here, and if you're looking for a fun way to spend it, consider the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas. This place is a treasure trove of activities, both indoors and outdoors. Imagine starting your day by racing a dinosaur. Yes, you heard it right! This is just one of the many exciting things you can do at the museum. The museum's plaza is a great place to begin your visit. Here, you can relax, soak up the sun, and let the kids play on the giant green frogs. There's no food or drink allowed inside the museum, but you can grab a snack or a drink on the plaza. The drink station has fun toppings like gummy bears and Pop Rocks for the kids, and adults can enjoy beverages like beer and wine. If you prefer, you can also head inside to the Museum Café for more food options. Inside the museum, you'll find permanent exhibit halls filled with ancient dinosaur bones, fossils, and precious gems. You can also explore our solar system and do some stargazing. But wait, there's more! The museum has a lower level with the Glow Lab exhibit. This is a colorful, illuminated space filled with modular inflatable units. It's perfect for selfies or just climbing around. The Perot Museum is a world-class science museum, so expect plenty of STEM activities. Science on Stage features two live science demonstrations from Perot educators. In Suiting up for Space, kids discover how different sciences come together to design modern-day spacesuits. In Thermal Reactions, they’ll see firsthand how matter changes when we add and remove extreme amounts of heat.

No day of science is complete without hands-on activities. In Bio Lab, kids can grab a lab coat and perform experiments such as the exploration of how sound travels through our bodies. There’s also ChallENGe Lab, a creative space where kids can create and enjoy art, engineering and tech programming. The Perot Museum is not the only place to celebrate spring break in North Texas. There are plenty of other activities to enjoy. Spring Break in the Park at Klyde Warren Park is a free event that runs from March 8-16.
