Special sections of the museum include the Wortham IMAX Theatre, Cockrell Butterfly Center, Burke Baker Planetarium, and the George Observatory.

Immerse yourself in nature as you stroll through Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary, where you can enjoy a small sanctuary that offers walking trails, birding, educational programs, and a unique look into the history of their neighborhood.
