Disneyland and LEGOLAND will no doubt be on the vacation wish list, but we’re here to tell you the following museums are giving amusement parks a serious run for their money. From tiny towns to giant locomotives, your kiddos will be begging to stay another day. Click through the gallery below to learn about our favorite spots from across the country.

Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Dallas

Challenge a T-Rex to a foot race, create an earthquake beneath your feet, or scale a climbing structure built to look like the Dallas skyline (Godzilla style) at this five-floored center of WOW. And while there's an entire graduate degree of information to absorb along the way, this hot spot is as much fun as it is educational, with an entire area dedicated to the little ones who really just wanna' have fun.
