For parents of budding magicians and future scientists, pack up the car and make the short drive into Houston to visit the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Always a worthwhile outing for the whole family, this summer guarantees something very special - the fantastic exhibit “Magic:  The Science of Wonder.” 

Running now through September 6th, the exhibit is host to displays of the rich history and facts as to how magicians have incorporated math, science, and wonder into their magical effect shows. Sure to inspire, the exhibit includes artifacts and videos from the history of modern magic.  You and your children will see magical items from Harry Houdini’s to the modern times of such magicians as Penn & Teller and Doug Henning, including the scientific explanation of many wondrous magic tricks.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science is located at 5555 Hermann Park Drive, Houston, TX 77030.  For maps, times, and ticket prices to the Magic exhibit, please visit HMNS.org.  Remember, considering a yearly family membership to the Houston Museum of Natural Science is a great way to see many exhibits during the year at significant discount.  The main museum (excluding special exhibits) offers free admission every Tuesday from 2-6pm!
