Perot Museum of Nature and Science

ANNOUNCEMENT This week the Perot Museum of Nature and Science announced a major transformation of the Moody Family Children’s Museum coming May 2025. Enhancing one of our most treasured spaces for families and children, the reimagined Children’s Museum will incorporate the latest in early-educational research and feature interactive exhibitions and experiences to foster creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking in children while empowering young minds to reimagine the future. The new hall will nearly double in size, growing from 6,259 square feet to nearly 11,000 square feet, to include an expanded Toddler Area, a Makery where our youngest visitors will tinker and engineer, an immersive Imaginarium experience, and a larger Outdoor Area with climbing and water features. The expansion bolsters the Museum’s position as the preeminent children’s museum of the region, extending programming to serve children up to age 7, offering an enriching experience from toddlers to early elementary students. The world-class concept incorporates state-of-the-art technology and international design principles to enhance STEM learning, connecting children to the wonders of science and discovery through learn-by-play. The current Children’s Museum will close for renovations in early January 2025. During the closure, popular activities from the existing Children’s Museum will be available for visitors on the Museum’s Lower Level beginning in mid-January 2025.
