New year New beginnings Same commitment to education

YOUR PARTNER IN DISCOVERY AND EXPLORATION

As a promising new school year gets underway wersquore gearing up for some new beginnings of our own

Starting in 2013 the Perot Museum of Nature and Science will open its doors in Victory Park nurturing the next generation of discovery through hands-on involvement in a state-of-the-art environment

This expansion is an exciting new chapter for the Museum of Nature amp Science which was formed in 2006 as the result of a unique merger of three Dallas institutions mdash the Dallas Museum of Natural History The Science Place and the Dallas Childrenrsquos Museum Wersquove always been proud of our rich history and we look forward to inspiring minds well into the future as the Perot Museum of Nature and Science

From exploring the night sky in our Portable Universe planetarium to investigating the physics of roller coasters the Perot Museum brings learning to life Our programs are designed to reinforce Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) objectives and keep your students excited about science year-round Additionally some topics are offered for multiple grade levels with program content and activities tailored to meet the learning needs of each specific age group Programs are available for pre-K and grades K-12 in astronomy biology chemistry paleontology physics and more
