Looking for one last hurrah before summer break ends and school begins?

Join us to tackle our playful obstacle course and slide, “exercise like a dino,” make bubble art & blow bubbles outside with Miss Denise, and enjoy Frozen Dino Desserts!

Play Science Trivia (led by Challenge Entertainment) with the whole family. Prizes will be awarded to trivia winners by our wonderful, newly “trained” dinosaur (our giant velociraptor) and her handler.

Visit & take a photo with our velociraptor at 5:15 p.m., 6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

And, don't forget to play in the "Be the Dinosaur: Life in the Cretaceous" exhibit.

Plus, a representative from NASA will be joining us to talk about the upcoming solar eclipse (the eclipse happens on August 21, 2017)!

Bumpers will be selling chicken, burgers, hot dogs, drinks and special “Cretaceous Crunch” and “Dino-Delight” ice cream sundaes!

Sharpen your wits with this fun and playful way to welcome the school year.
