Story

Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is nestled within the Fort Worth Cultural District and houses a variety of traveling and permanent exhibitions. Permanent exhibits include DinoLabs & DinoDig, Energy Blast, Fort Worth Children’s Museum and the Cattle Raisers Museum, a “museum within a museum.” Innovation Studios— a five glass-walled studio that houses Inventor, Doodler, Designer, Imaginer, and Explorer—is where imagination, curiosity and creativity are encouraged and nurtured. The Museum is also home to two theaters, the Omni Theater, an IMAX Dome and the Noble Planetarium.

The Omni Theater, an IMAX Dome was the first in the Southwest, with an eight-story dome and a 120-foot screen—this theater places the audience in the center of the action, producing a sensation much closer to real-life than a conventional movie theater.

The Noble Planetarium is an immersive all-dome video combined with a fiber optic dual-hemisphere star projector to see more than 7,000 stars – to the Southwest United States. The planetarium also features an exhibit area that contains large screens with up-to-the-minute views of the Sun. On Friday and Saturday nights experience the sights and sounds of a rockin’ Laser Light show with brilliant lasers, images of the universe, and digital animation all set to timeless music favorites.
