Friday, June 20, marks the Summer Solstice. On this day, the Earth is tilted as much as possible toward the sun, at its highest point in the sky. This day is considered the start of summer. Join us on Saturday, June 21, at the Sun Dial to celebrate. Our talented team of astronomers will be there, along with solar telescopes for you to look through #summersolstice #summer #astronomytok #houstonmuseum

Hermann Park is kind of a big deal — and it’s big enough for the both of us. This summer, two of Houston’s most trusted names in education and family fun — the Houston Museum of Natural Science and @Children's Museum Houston — are bringing the best of both worlds to your backyard. It’s science and imagination at their finest. Beat the heat, skip the screen time, and turn a simple day out into something legendary. From ancient fossils that have stood the test of time to hands-on exhibits that spark creativity and curiosity, there’s something here for every member of the family. Our doors are open, and the adventure is waiting. Stay cool. Stay curious. Stay classy, Houston. #thingstodoinhoustontx #houstonmuseum #houstonmuseumdistrict #collab
