This world-class facility in the heart of Fort Worth's Cultural District was designed by internationally renowned architects Legorreta+Legorreta.

The new Noble Planetarium transports guests to the edge of the universe. The Studio Learning Galleries offer active learning opportunities, and the Fort Worth Children's Museum invites children to play and explore their world through interactive exhibits. Mysteries of the Texas Dinosaurs and DinoDig® introduce guests to a world of paleontology that is uniquely Texan.

The museum also boasts an Omni Theater. Open 10 a.m.–5 p.m. daily. Admission charge. Wheelchair accessible. 1600 Gendy St. in the Cultural District. 817/255-9300. www.fwmuseum.org.
