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 |
