A visit to the Houston Museum of Natural Science is a great way to explore the fascinating world we inhabit. It’s a small museum with some great exhibits for adults and some hands-on ones for kids. The Life Science exhibit features a collection of live frogs, and includes the Giant African Bullfrog and Amazon Milk Frogs. It also contains a variety of animal skulls from around the world, including the duckbill platypus and killer whale. The Science of a Sphere exhibit investigates the surface of Mars and features a giant animated globe. The Discovery Works exhibition is specifically geared to kids, with interactive features that let them experience science in motion. The Digital Dome Theatre shows a different movie every half-hour on a giant domed screen. Not far from Marquis at Katy, the Houston Museum of Natural Science is open Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays until 6 p.m.
