In 2006, the Dallas Museum of Natural History and The Science Place merged into one institution. The Natural History Museum, founded in 1936, is collections-based and research-driven. It has a vast collection of rare and extinct wildlife; rocks and minerals; and the first mounted dinosaur in Texas. Archaeologists and paleontologists ensure the continued growth of each intricate exhibit as well as a deeper understanding of what it represents. Permanent exhibits include a paleontology lab, a wildlife diorama, Lagoon Nature Walk, and Prehistoric Texas. The Science Place, founded in 1946 as the Dallas Health Museum, takes a hands-on approach to learning. Exhibits include a dental gallery, dinosaur dig, physics gallery, medical gallery, electric theater and laser lab. The planetarium produces programs exploring the far reaches of space. The IMAX theater features true adventures in a larger-than-life format.

Ice Age DallasJan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
Think you are the tallest one and command attention every time you walk into a room? Well then the Ice Age Dallas at the Museum of Nature and Science is one place where you would end up feeling like a puny nevertheless. A place where everything is larger than life and exactly the way it used to be, Ice Age Dallas is a reminiscence of the last Ice Age that went by. From robotic Glyptodont replica to the Trinity River Mammoth, they are all residents here. Who ever said mammoths were extinct?
Ocean Dallas
Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
Once in a while comes along an opportunity when you get to reconnect with history from a million years ago. The Ocean Dallas is one such place where you get to do the same. Get to see Heath Mosasaur, a reptile that existed near Dallas 75 million years ago and the Protostega, a giant sea turtle. Lucky for us, snorkeling was not a fad back then or the tables would definitely have turned!
Prehistoric Texas Hall
Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
Ever seen a life-size skeleton of one the most infamous dinasaurs to roam the earth?? This exciting and sometimes monstrous collection of bones and fossils cover vast distances into the past. Check out the museum's Trinity River Mammoth display, which is said to have lived 20,000 years ago.
