Thom Mayne’s Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas stands out as an eye-catching architectural design that stands out from traditional museums. Consisting of an eye-catching precast concrete cube perched atop a landscaped base complete with native plants and rock shards, the 170-foot tall museum has become an attraction unto itself; visitors will discover an IMAX theater, planetarium, exhibit halls, as well as state-of-the-art warehouse facilities to store collections not suitable for display due to space constraints.
The Perot Museum provides students with various education programs, including free admission on the first Tuesday of every month for educators and their families and discounted memberships. Members also benefit from other benefits like accessing other museums through their Passport Program and priority registration for Discovery Camps. Furthermore, children three years or older with valid identification documents or school identification cards as well as those who have been immunized against Ebola can enter free of charge.
Educators can claim their free admission pass by showing a school ID or letter of employment at the Museum box office. This offer applies only to general admission; travel exhibits or films do not qualify. As an alternative, educators can purchase an annual membership that allows unlimited visits; those upgrading to Explore level receive single-use flex tickets and discounts off travel exhibits/movies as well as priority registration for Discovery Camps.
