nice couple hours
interesting for all ages - our teens age 17-21 enjoyed as the adults did too. We spent about 2 hours enjoying the variety of exhibits. Tickets purchased online give you an entry time and that worked well to stagger crowd size.

Modern science museum suitable for a family outing
The museum is modern and has a pretty nice design to make a self-guided tour with family and kids. A mix of interactive exhibits (mount your own dino, earthquake floor-shaker, tornado spinner, etc) make for more interesting and engaging experiences. The dino exhibit has limited original fossils, but has an abundance of reproductions and also a lab with a technician showing the process of fossil recovery. Our kids loved the dino part and then started getting tired from the level below. It is a large museum and I think any visitor needs to gauge the level of patience and interest based on the people coming along. I enjoyed the visit - wish I had more time, but my kids made me speed thru the exhibit. I also noticed that Perot's endowment was very friendly to the big oil interests in their exposition of fossil fuel science. *At the time of visit, we had to schedule due to social distancing protocols and we ended up arriving to the entrance about an hour before our time slot... as a result we were oriented to wait or buy the Guinness Record Tour exhibit. We couldn't wait so we plunked additional cash to add that exhibit after which we could go up to the main museum spaces
