A wonderful class of future elementary educators visited the DSP today to learn more about the importance of informal education, and how institutions such as the DSP can augment and enhance in-class learning. Thanks for visiting @UTTyler students!

On Sept. 8, 1966, Star Trek graced television screens for the first time. On that day, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry introduced audiences to a world that championed diversity, inclusion, acceptance and hope. We salute all Trekkies. Live long and prosper.

Did you know that we are offering limited birthday party appointments on both Saturdays and Sundays? These birthday party reservations are for 3pm-5pm which means they are AFTER we close to the public for the day. You & your party basically get the entire museum to yourself!
