Mayborn Museum Complex Competitors

The mission of the Houston Museum of Natural Science shall be to preserve and advance the general knowledge of natural science; to enhance in individuals the knowledge of and delight in natural science and related subjects; and to maintain and promote a museum of the first class.

At the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, you can race a T. rex, challenge friends in robot competitions, explore the astonishing links between dinosaurs and modern-day birds, experience a simulated earthquake, journey through the universe, and test what it means to “be human”. Everything from dinosaurs to DNA to diamonds are packed into five levels of hands-on discovery and adventure. We built a Museum to inspire the life-long learner in all of us.

Children’s Museum Houston is committed to transforming communities through innovative, child-centered learning that improves the trajectories of all children. Our vision is a future where all children, families and communities in Greater Houston can reach their fullest potential. With a focus on strengthening parents’ abilities to serve as their children’s first and most influential teachers, we provide meaningful bilingual resources to families at the Museum and in the community. These resources are necessary tools to prepare children for success in school, make learning a part of children’s daily lives, and instill in children a passion for lifelong learning.
