More Fun Museums to Visit in Dallas
If you're traveling to Dallas on your next tour bus adventure, take your group to some of the interesting museums in this city.
Make sure your tour bus makes a stop at The Dallas Childrens Museum at 13331 Preston Road. This is a 6,500 square foot facility that will let your kids be themselves and touching of the interactive exhibits is encouraged. Some of the exhibits include Slice of Math where your kids can role play in a pizza parlor and unwittingly learn their fractions. If you little ones want to work in the medical profession, the Presbyterian Health Care Systems Hospital has sponsored an exhibit where you kids can role play in the emergency room, operating room, newborn nursery and examining room in the hospital and community health exhibit established by Presbyterian Health Care System. They will learn about the skeletal system joints, ligaments, and muscles, and physical challenges, safety, driving an ambulance and basic body functions. The purpose of the exhibit is to help children deal with their fears around doctors, dentists, hospitals, illness and injury and to learn how the body works. Because knowledge is power!
Another popular exhibit is the Kroger Grocery Store. It features child-size shopping carts, aprons, cash registers, scanners and learning cards to assist shoppers in selecting a balanced diet and understanding the food pyramid. In the exhibit children practice such math skills as sequencing, matching, adding, making change and completing tasks. Kids learn good information about food and nutrition, and can enjoy the experience of working in a grocery store. For more information call (972) 386-6555.
Also take your tour bus to The Dallas Museum of Natural History. This has been a Dallas institution since 1936 and has played an outstanding role in cataloging the over 280,000 specimens including the world's largest exhibition of Texas wildlife habitats, and the first mounted Texas dinosaur in Texas. It also has the distinction of being the only public collections-based, research driven, natural history museum. Also, the Dallas Museum of Natural History is a Smithsonian Institution affiliate museum. The fun for your tour bus group will start outside this 45,000 square foot building that is housed on two floors when you see the entire building is built out of native Cordova limestone, if you get close you can actually see shells and other fossils embedded within the greenish tinged limestone. For hours and more information please call (972) 386-6555.
