Aunque el museo Victory Park fue fundado en 2012, su historia se remonta a 1936 cuando se inauguró el Dallas Museum of Natural History en Fair Park. Esa institución, junto con The Science Place y The Dallas Children's Museum se fusionaron para crear lo que ahora es The Perot Museum of Nature and Science.
