Experience the thrill of being a super star in the low-gravity worlds of our solar system with The Great Planet Adventures! With muscles and bones accustomed to Earth’s gravity, imagine the exhilaration of zip-lining across the scorching surface of Mercury or snowmobiling through the snow-covered landscapes of Pluto.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science can be found in the Houston Museum District at the northern end of Hermann Park. Inside, you can find collections of dinosaur bones, minerals, fossils, and other special exhibits!
