The Perot Museum of Science

Details
One of the most fun and hands on science museums I have been to! A great event for both kids and adults with exciting interactive exhibits and it’s located right in the heart of Dallas! Think dinosaurs, earthquakes, virtual reality, and engineering!

Hours
10am – 6pm every day except Sunday when it opens at 11am

Price
Ranging from $13 – $20 depending on packages

George W. Bush Presidential Library

Details
No matter what your political opinions are, this is a pretty cool museum. Located on the SMU campus, this museum gives you the inside scoop on the Bush presidency and the inside White House life. Of course, it definitely is a bit different from our current White House life, but still worth the experience! The interactive exhibits make it great for both kids and adults!

Price
$19 adults, $17 teens, $13 kids, $16 students, FREE for SMU students

Fort Worth Modern Art Museum

Details
I am in love with this museum, but honestly it’s mostly for the beautiful architecture of the building itself. Home to some incredible works of modern art and a delightful cafe if you want to be productive and creative. It mostly contains glass and concrete minimalist works!

Price
$16 for GA, $12 seniors, $10 student, FREE under 18

JFK Sixth Floor Museum

Details
An amazing historical museum for even those that are not big history lovers (aka me). The Sixth Floor Museum walks you through the JFK assassination right where it actually happened. Filled with media clippings, actual artifacts, interviews, stories, and so much more. One of the coolest museums I have ever been to, hands down.

Hours
10am – 6pm every day except for opens at noon on Mondays

Price
$16 adults, $14 seniors, $13 under 18

Kimbell Art Museum

Dallas Museum of Art

Details
If you want something free, this is your best bet! I absolutely love the DMA because it is home to some stunning works of art (both modern and not) and even beautiful sculptures and murals to top it off. Walk around and maybe even pay for one of their unique exhibts. My FAVORITE piece of art is the Four Triangles. You’ll know it when you see it.

Price
FREE

National Cowgirl Museum

Details
A favorite for little kids and those of you not from Texas! One of the only museums of it’s kind (obviously), it showcases the life of the wild west for Women and Cowgirls. A great stop if you’re already checking out the Stockyards and Rodeo in Fort Worth!

$5 for adults, $3.50 for under 13

Nasher Sculpture Garden

I agree, the architecture of the Modern Art Museum is amazing!! I’m a huge fan of museums in general. Visiting one when I’m in a new city is always a highlight for me.

Woah I had no idea Dallas had so many museums. Seattle has a similar outdoor sculpture garden I’d love to visit the one in Dallas!

I love the Sixth Floor Museum and the National Cowgirl Museum but hadn’t been to any of the others. Sounds like I need to plan a trip to DFW!!!! It’s such a cool place. My husband and I love traveling there.
