Is Frost Science Museum worth it on a budget?

DependsOn a budget

On a budget, weigh it — Frost Science Museum isn't cheap for what it is.

~$33 adult

A genuine winner for families — a three-level aquarium with a cone-shaped Gulf Stream tank, a top-tier planetarium, and interactive science across several floors. The catch: it's pricey for a couple of adults without kids, and weekends and rainy days get crowded with school groups and families.
