Traveling and permanent exhibits, 100,000 artifacts and specimens, the Omni Theater showing IMAX® films, and the Noble Planetarium
offer an extraordinary learning environment with plenty of hands-on fun.

Permanent exhibits include KIDSPACE®, DinoDig®, Lone Star Dinosaurs, Hands on Science, and ExploraZone®. KIDSPACE is an indoor discovery area designed for children age six and under and their favorite adults. Through activities such as KidFish dock, Water Works, and Build-a-House, children learn science by doing. DinoDig allows visitors to become amateur paleontologists and dig for dinosaur bones and fossils in a large outdoor discovery area. Three dig areas; bones range in size from a four-inch vertebra of a Tenontosaurus to a six-foot leg bone of a large sauropod.

The Omni Theater's curved screen engulfs viewers' entire field of vision to plunge into remote caves, soar through clouds, or visit some of the world's greatest places in big-screen glory. Astronomy programs are presented in the Noble Planetarium. For information and schedule for the Omni Theater and Noble Planetarium, call 817/255-9300.
