Come on guys. Fort Worth is a growing and dynamic city that needs and deserves an equally dynamic museum for residents and visitors. Whenever I hear about people visiting Fort Worth and ask where to go for quality museum experience...I always hear, "Be sure and go to the Kimball and Modern, and then take the train over to the Perot in Dallas." I never hear this museum in the mix. Never. I appreciated it a lot for what it provided my daughter and I when she was in preschool years and years ago, but that time has come and gone, and this location simply needs a new vision that will attract people from all ages and places. Fort Worth has the money, now they just need the will to make this location on the inside as fantastic as the way it looks on the outside.

Experience was great my one year old loved the big screen my elderly father in law was amazed with the technology, and my 15 and 16 year old loved the trex film. Great place for a quick meet up, and it wasn't overpowering like a movie theater, we sat all the way up. It was a little warm i wish they could cool it down a lot more. But being it was the heat of the day with a big screen and a full house it was understandable

The museum was alright. The planetarium area, while small was interesting and the cattle rancher exhibit was pretty fascinating. The rest of the upper floor was the temporary exhibits and they were nothing special. The bottom floor was a small dinosaur section and children’s museum portion, which were entertaining for my son, but loud, crowded and felt more like a time killer than a learning experience. Overall it’s more a place to take your small kids to keep them occupied than an entertaining museum.

It does not matter what day or time you come here. When you leave the Omni Theater, you will leave wanting to come back for more time to spend in this family oriented theater.
Our family has been enjoying this theater for many years now, Donald Camp ❤️. IT IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE TO BEHOLD !

Hubby and I had a great time. Lots of Texas history on exhibit right now. Fun seeing the displays. They have a cool "dino dig" for the kids where they can take archaeology tools and dig in the designated dirt area to look for (planted) "dinosaur bones." Also great play places indoors and rooms for them to experiment and learn.

Tons of interactive displays for children of all ages and lots of unique displays of dinosaurs, oil field equipment, and ranch life. Plus special exhibits for super heros and the barbie world. Grand finally was the omni theater movie Animal Kingdom which was well done.

It’s not what you remember from your childhood. Seems like there is much less to see and do. No shortage of crowds on Thursdays. It’s ok if your kids are young. Very basic interactive activities. Roll the ball down a small table. Play with the blocks. Magnetic blocks. Glow in the dark blocks. Make a paper air plane. Massive boring exhibits upstairs with almost nothing to look at and nothing to hold your interest. Same exhibits for several years now. They even removed the bubbles outside in the courtyard recently. No more Omni theater or planetarium. All of the cool dinosaurs from our childhood are removed or on the “school” side of the building. Not accessible to the public. Better off going to the trampoline park, it’s the same price. The toddler play shopping area is a neat concept but there are almost no toys to pretend shop. We have cooler things in our playroom at home.

IMAX is under construction. It was not the best time to visit.

We absolutely love coming to the Fort Worth museum of science and History. We have a blast every time they have so many different things to interact with and do with your children. Highly recommend

This is a fantastic option for young children and for parents looking to get out of the house without spending time outdoors. There are plenty of fun, scientific exhibits that engages the minds of the kids. The playground is a fun place to expel extra energy and to eat a lunch you packed yourself.

Family membership is a great option to save money and for discounted parking. I would highly recommend if parents are looking for something to entertain their children with beyond a screen.

I was actually impressed with this museum! I have always been a big advocate for the Perot museum but we decided to give this museum a try. We went on Monday of spring break and it wasn’t crowded at all! It made it very enjoyable. I was impressed with quite a few of the exhibits. There seemed to be a pretty good balance of things to do in the exhibits for the kids while still interesting for adults doing the reading. The only thing I was disappointed about was the amount of things that were broken within the exhibits. For example, all the buttons in the cattle exhibit that the kids could push to hear shorter summarized versions of the information and see some cool animated shadow movements were broken, one of the main activities in the energy blast exhibit that was a simulation to drive one of the trucks was broken, the 4D theater was broken in the sense there was no 3D or 4D elements making it just a 2D movie, etc. I think if a lot of these items were fixed it would be so much more enjoyable! Still fun, but kind of disappointing. Some of our favorites were the planetarium, innovative section, cattle exhibit, the energy blast, Dino dig, and dinosaur exhibit. The aviation part was pretty cool but not so much fun for the kids. Can’t wait for the new Omni theater to open later this year!

This place has gotten so much better over the years. There are active members of the team who help engage the kids, they keep the area clean, and even have separate STEM projects for the kids. I went on my son's field trip and we really enjoyed it. To top it off, they have a Chick-fil-a in the building. The place looks beautiful and very educational yet interactive. I can't wait for the IMAX to finally be remodeled in the future because I plan on taking my son asap.
