About The Heard Natural Science Museum & Sanctuary
The winner of our 2008 Parents' Picks quest to find the best enviro-friendly place in Dallas-Fort Worth, the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary is a science museum, a 289-acre wildlife sanctuary, and a science resource center.
The wildlife sanctuary includes over four miles of guided or self-guided nature trails. (Pets are not allowed in the sanctuary.)
Two picnic areas are located on the property - one on Bluestem Trail, and the other just off the parking lot.
The preschool natural science program introduces kids to the natural world through nature walks, hands-on science activities, and classroom activities. Classes meet for two hours a day, three days a week during the school year.
Summer nature camps are offered for kids ages five to 12. Visit the website for schedules and tuition.
Memberships, seasonal passes, and annual passes are available.
The Museum is closed on New Years Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
