Fort Worth Museum of Science and History
FULL TITLE: You should visit the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and here´s why
The history of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History began a long time ago, in 1939. By 1945, it was a two-room facility in DeZavala Elementary School. It moved as it kept growing and found its final place in 1501 Montgomery Street, in 1954.
By 1955, the Noble Planetarium was the first public planetarium in the region to open its doors. Later, by 1983, the Omni-theater amazed the world with an IMAX dome theater (one of the first and most successful in the world).
Finally, the last big work on the site ended in 2009 and now the facilities can put a smile on the face of 500,000 people a year.
Although it changed name and location plenty of times, the main goal was preserved all the way: to provide an extraordinary learning opportunity for the surrounding community.
What are the main attractions?
The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History started out as a children´s attraction. Although that is in the past, some of the main attractions are still devoted to kids, who make half the visitors every year. Moreover, a Museum School [https://www.fwmuseum.org/learn/museum-school/] is keeping 72 years of extraordinary learning legacy alive.

The Noble Planetarium
Although currently closed due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Noble Planetarium offers an uncanny experience with images of the Milky Way, our solar system, and trips to destinations across the galaxy. With room for 80 people, it is a definite must to visit it.
The Omni-theater
Larger-than-life is a great expression to describe the views at the Omni-Theater. Sitting in it, you can innovatively experience image and sound while learning about the wonders of our world. This is another must-visit when in the museum.
