    Bring the kids, friendly family attraction with lost of exhibits pertaining to our region and beyond. Currently the price of admissions includes access to the planetarium which is wonderful. Clean facility with an on-site food court.

    I've been enjoying the museum since I went on a field trip in the second grade in 1968. I took this photo in 1976 and I've enjoyed watching the museum grow and expand all of these years!

    It's was closed after diving 1 1/2 to get there nothing posted on the Wed site about being closed till we got there and it was posted on the door will be open 2022 and the guy in the parking garage that took our money for parking I told him we was going there and he just said ok $10.00 parking and he never said anything about being closed. I lost $10.00 and all the gas and time going there. Am very unhappy that it wasn't posted on the web site and the guy that took our money for parking after I told him where going he could have said something about being closed and at least saved me $10.00 ! Am very very disappointed and the kids was too!

    Great place to take the kids, or explore yourself. We love all of the interactive exhibits, and there's so much to see and learn. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

    It was Science Night for the male offspring's educational institution. We hadn't been in years & once had a family membership when the kids were small, so a free trip to the museum seemed like an opportunity we shouldn't pass on. So glad we went! I forgot how much fun it is to learn for learning's sake, how interesting the world is, how connected we all are by strands of molecules & threads of history. It's an experience worth the price of admission & I'm considering another family membership. 10 years was too long to wait for a visit.

    A long-time fan of the museum, the last few times it has felt like a let down. There are quite a few broken interactive exhibits. I don't feel like there were a lot of good explanations or real museum exhibits for the kids, just the play spaces. And those are crowded and kind of poorly executed (not enough supplies, not well kept or organized, felt like I never saw staff). Overall not a great experience but hopefully they're working on things.

    Had a great night here promoting the museum and our restaurants Bobs Steak and Chop House and Reata. Friendly competition with an old buddy of mine.

    This place is amazing for both children and adults. Lots of immersive opportunities. There's plenty of imaginary play available. We got to color our own dinos and watch them come alive on a screen. We also dug for fossils.

    My 9 year old was in love with it, we went for his school tonight and there was so much to do that 2 hours wasn't enough. Planetarium was amazing, bed of nails you can actually lay on. Lots of high tech stuff that will have us come back.

    I just visited the museum with my family and there is many places closed. I expected more on this visit but was not it. Too expensive for this.

    It's always a pleasure to visit the Fort Worth Science museum. The exhibits rotate regularly and it's always educational. When we went, there were several schools visiting and the chaperones did nothing to keep the kids under control. It really detracted from the experience. The gift shop is now gone and that was disappointing too. However, the planetarium is now included in the admission. We even got an early showing about black holes. It was super interesting.

    My 2yr old loves going here and seeing different things and exploring. The planetarium show was really neat, all the staff is friendly and kind. It made for a wonderful family fun Sunday.

    Our first visit to the science and history museum on 12/18/2022. Enjoyed very much.

    We took our grandson's ages 2,4,4,8,&9 and they all had a blast. I was worried with the difference in ages it might not work out. Not the case at all. They have done a wonderful job of having so many things to do for all ages in all areas. We will definitely take them again.

    Wonderfully curated displays with helpful volunteers throughout. Variety of indoor and outdoor (giant bubble making station!) spaces to enjoy for some quiet time or a snack. Amazing children's interactive themed playrooms. I could have spent the whole day there. Outside the building, many bronzes to appreciate as well.

    Love this place, fun and educational for the kids, indoors too to stay out of the Texas heat.

  • 5/5 Scott R. 10 months ago on Google
    I went with three of my children, toddler to mid-teens, and they all found thing to enjoy.

  • 5/5 Ginger Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Well, it wasn't the Omni, but it was the planetarium. Mezmerica was a very unique and kind of exciting experience. The sky dome was basically a kaleidoscope for a full hour. I really enjoyed the time.

  • 3/5 Joan S. 2 years ago on Google
    There's no IMAX movies going on right now since the colvin but the museum itself is a awesome place to go to atmosphere is great I recommend this place and I also work here!!!!

  • 1/5 hala Al Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I went there and I did not like a single thing. It was boring and empty. It doesn’t have any kind of creativity. Wast of time!

  • 3/5 Bruce H. 1 year ago on Google
    Too many groups of children on our Tuesday visit. I guess I am spoiled from visiting other museums in Washington DC, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but seemed small and not really enough science nor history exhibits for me

  • 5/5 Kelsea B. 1 year ago on Google
    Loves this place, so much fun for everyone of all ages, and the fact that they have a lactation room where I was able to privately nurse my baby was amazing I wish I could give extra stars just for that!

  • 3/5 jennifer s. 1 year ago on Google
    It was fun in the children's part. However I remember years ago they had way more stuff to look at as well as dinosaur bones. I think for the price it wasnt really worth it.

  • 5/5 Megan R. 2 years ago on Google
    We are members at the science museum and have never had a bad experience. We're so happy that they are finally reopening, and went to the members preview weekend. We didn't make it through all the exhibits during this visit, but will be back again soon. All the ones we saw were wonderful, as usual. The employees are happy to help if you have any problems during your visit.

  • 4/5 Mason M. 5 years ago on Google
    We spent a large chunk of our day here while visiting for an event. It’s a smaller space, but there’s so much to do, that it would be difficult to get bored. Great for kids!
