The Texas National Science Center

You like this totally sweet panorama photo I snatched from online? It shows the Hall of Geology and Paleontology at the science center. The Texas Memorial Mueum, otherwise known as the Texas National Science Center, is yet another FREE thing to do in Austin. It's located next to the U.T. Football Stadium (which is tough to miss) and houses many fine exhibits.



The main exhibits are the aforementioned Hall of Geology and Paleontology (dinosaurs, fossils, meteorites), the Great Hall (gems, Pterosaur skeleton), the Hall of Texas Wildlife (local fish, nocturnal animals, dioramas) and the Hall of Biodiversity (evolution, DNA, viruses).



The Texas National Science Center is yet another great place to learn about the history of the state and the admission fee is super sweet.
