I've heard so many great things about this museum and was super excited to finally visit over the…read moreweekend! It was SO big. Definitely spent hours in here, as there are so many levels, room, activities, etc. Really loved the activities that were super engaging, both for kids and adults. The spots area on the bottom ground floor was super fun and not crowded at all. The price is well worth the visit! perfect place for families, and even just adults (i saw some adult friend groups who were visiting and they looked like they were having so much fun!) Parking is across the street under the highway. it's $15, which is not the best but at least it's a short walk. It was pretty easy finding a spot too.

It was our last day in Dallas and we decided to bring our 3 year old son to Perot Museum of Nature…read moreand Science. This place is huge with multiple floors of hands-on and educational exhibits that kept our son moving the whole time. We even booked the soccer exhibit with our general admission tickets and had a lot of fun exploring different soccer challenges and interactive spots at our own pace. Our son especially loved building a Lego arena and creating his mascot at the soccer exhibit. The museum is clean and the staff are friendly. We booked our tickets online which was very quick and easy. We went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, which made chasing our little one around much easier. There's a parking garage within walking distance to the museum and you pay before you leave. We had an absolute blast especially our son. If you have an active little one who loves to run around and explore, this is a fantastic spot. Highly recommend - we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Dallas.

It's been ten years since my visit and I'm back because Mrs. K. has never been here and I wanted her to see it. As I mentioned in my review from before, Dealey Plaza is up there with Times Square and Hollywood Boulevard. Yes, there are others including the National Mall, the Freedom Trail and Kennedy Space Center and the Grand Canyon, but this one is so visceral and so critical to the American experience that it should not be missed. Even for those of us who weren't born before 1963, it's still a critical part of our lives. We got our tickets from the desk, waited in the rope lines and were boarded onto the elevator at the designated time. Inside the museum, lots of crowds. They're doing what they can to balance the multitude of people who want to experience this with the desire of people to actually read the signs, displays and history of one of the most traumatic events in modern American history. It was simply too crowded. We spent about an hour trying to get between the bunches of folks between us and the artifacts, reading signs that explain the chronology of Kennedy's visit. It's much more than just that one day in November 1963, including history of Kennedy's election and why he came to Dallas to begin with. And yes, you can look out the window to see the "x" on the street where it happened. After that, the investigations, the conspiracies and all. All the physical evidence that exists in the American psyche. You'll enjoy the museum. The crowds? You'll just have to tolerate that part. I don't know that there's anything you can do about it.

Bull game is the latest experimental theate by the Dead White Zombies…read more Written and directed by Thomas Riccio, like the other Dead White Zombies this theatre experience is exactly that...an experience. Be prepared to interact. Be prepared to gasp. Be prepared to be surprised and be prepared to go in with an open mind I would be doing Bullgame a disservice by desribing it too much. My advice is just go in and enjoy the experience. Thomas Riccio has so far been quite underground with his immersive theatre but lately he is getting much more press. The man is ahead of his time for the Dallas scene and this in itself is greatness. Basically the Bullgame is based upon this cultures obsession with competition. ...and that is all you need to know. Enjoy

One of my favorite Dallas museums. Incredible collection of Japanese samurai armor and artifacts,…read morefeaturing suits of armor, helmets, masks, and weapons from the 5th to 19th centuries. The Samurai Collection in Dallas is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Highlights include: - Intricate suits of armor, helmets, and masks. - Horse armor and weaponry, including katanas and even early European-style pistols used by samurai. - Informative plaques (in English and Spanish), films on iron production, and a study area/library with relevant books for deeper learning. Well worth a visit!

Took the opportunity to take a trip to the holocaust museum downtown Dallas. I been to another one…read more But this was was way more detail. It penpointed locations on the earth where Jews was killed. It was way more countries involved in the mass near extinction of Jews. One thing that stuck with me tho is when I was watching this video, they said that it was a false rumor that Jews killed Jesus Christ. While they didn't physically kill him, the Romans did, but they did say crucify him and give us Barabbas. So they WAS responsible for killing Jesus. Also they had things about catholic and Jehovah witness Jews...not so sure about that. Jews are very adamant about Judaism and will fight to remain that way. They rejected Islam, Buddhism, and even the very Jesus Christ who is the Son of God that completed the prophecy of Moses and founded Christianity. In fact Catholics and Muslims have been known to kill Jews and Christians for centuries. They did great work getting the things used to kill the Jews. I saw the cyanide from gas chambers, the rail car thru used to transport the Jews to the death camps, it was clothes that was found after they sent them to the gas chambers, it was a sad experience to see because it makes you feel some of the pain they went through. Overall it is stomach turning to see people killed in mass numbers...by the millions. And for no reason. It's a constant reminder that we are in the last days and Jesus is soon to come.

My son asked me to take him to this museum. We got there around 3.45 pm, we only had an hour to…read morewalk through. I think the most with all detailed walking it may take a couple of hours the most. The staff was very pleasant, you have to go through the scanner for security reasons. I was impressed with the their demo. Especially when doors close and open automatically in the dark. The saddest part is to go through the historical part. That was one of the worst times in the history. For someone who was born in Soviet Union and raised on the World War II stories from older generation, movies, history and books in school, going over this again was a great reminder. My son was interested in reading and watching documentaries, and was asking many questions. I felt like I went generations back. My own grandfather was fighting in that war, he came back injured. The museum keeps history alive. An hour was full of memories, information and emotions. My little one asked me if we can go back someday. I don't mind. Parking was very convenient, across the entrance there is a garage and street parking is available.

Purchasing tickets online was simple and let me choose the exact date and time I wanted to visit. Check in was quick with the email confirmation. The museum itself was very clean and I constantly saw employees wiping down and tidying exhibits. Some of the illusions were tricky to figure out at first, but the placards on the walls explained everything really well. The staff was also super helpful and happy to show guests the best angles for photos. Emma was especially amazing at helping frame pictures and making sure we got good shots inside the exhibits. One exhibit featured a spinning tunnel that was tough for me because of equilibrium issues, so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to motion effects. This is a quick and entertaining side quest while downtown. It took us about an hour and fifteen minutes to experience everything.Theres no rush and you move at your own pace. I would definitely come back again.

Employees were very attentive when asking if we wanted to get a photo, which is great. There was even one employee who was cleaning one of the mirror illusions, but stopped and took the time to explain how the illusion worked for us. I wish I had gotten his name, because he was an awesome employee. My main gripe, as stated previously, was that the museum was smaller than we thought. It took us 30 minutes to get through all the illusions, and for the price point to enter, just didn't seem worth it in comparison. I'm glad I went, I just probably won't go back for a while. I did get some nice photos.

The prices are reasonable, even more so as a student (and even MORE more so if you go early on weeknights for "pay what you can"). They also have a mini fridge stocked with decent beer and other drinks available for a small "suggested donation". It seems geared towards small casts, one acts, and minimalist production (based, though, solely on one play and skimming future billings).
