For the past year, a futuristic building has been rising just north of downtown's Woodall Rogers Freeway. On December 1st, the public will finally get a chance to step inside the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science.
I got a chance to check out the exhibits before the opening date. I was not disappointed. This amazing showplace will quickly become of Dallas' signature attributes.
This museum starts with a ride to the top of the building offering dramatic views of downtown. Museum goers work their way down 5 1/2 floors of exhibits. Parents be warned, it may take a couple of trips to see everything the Perot Museum has to offer. Here are my favorite displays
1. Bird Flight Simulator
Make sure you go to the very top of the 4th Floor (Floor 4A)
2. The Earthquake Simulator
3. The Digital Music Studio
4. The Mini Tornado (you can even get inside it)
5. Race the Dinosaur (or a cheetah)
Don't skip the basement, where you'll find an exhibit called 'Sports".
6. The Building Itself.
The entire building is an exhibit itself, including the glass escalator
