MUSEUM DISTRICT.   If it's found in nature, you can probably learn about it here. This fascinating museum, established in 1909, instructs visitors on energy, wildlife, astronomy, and much more. As you enter the main room, dinosaurs loom overhead; beyond them are exhibits about the Serengeti plains, historic displays in the Hall of the Americas, and an arresting showcase of more than 600 gems and minerals. Additional levels present fossils and other features of the natural world. Added attractions include the Cockrell Butterfly Center, where dozens of species fly freely, and the Wortham IMAX theater.   (© 10Best)
