Today I took the kids to see the new electronic dinosaur exhibit at the zoo and then we walked over to the Museum of Natural Science for a members sneak peek at their new paleontology hall. Both were quite impressive.
They had these new Chinese Zodiac sculptures set up near the zoo that were pretty neat.
I wasn't sure what to expect with the electronic dinosaurs but they were very cool. They moved, made noises, and some even spit water (very refreshing on a hot day).
Despite being decked out in his dinosaur shirt and shoes, Taven was a bit scared of them at first. They did seem quite alive.
The sisters pretending they're scared of T-Rex.
After hanging out at the zoo for a bit, we headed over to the museum. Stopping to feed the ducks and pigeons of course.
We were also treated to a little show at the Miller Outdoor Theatre.
Then the long awaited brand new paleontology hall!
My favorite part was an area that focused on evolution. So awesome!
As members, we will be going back many times this summer. I also need to go alone or with maybe just Eaden so I can actually read and learn something instead of just looking. Very thankful to have this awesome museum in town! Yay!
We had that same (or a similar) dino exhibit come to our zoo last year. Finn was actually afraid of them!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day!
Wow, my kids would absolutely love both of those. Your blog is so inspiring x x
ReplyDeleteWhoa what a cool place! Look at Taven's face-so cute. That is an amazing exhibit and it looks super fun too. I love how the dinosaurs are outside too-cool effect.
ReplyDeleteOMG - that first pic looks like GAME OF THRONES stuff! (HBO) haha!
ReplyDeleteMy dino-lovin' girl would love that exhibit. I think having memberships to cool places are such great homeschooling/unschooling resources!
ReplyDeleteThe last three heads in the display cases are unbelievably alive. I feel like I am staring into our past...what an amazing scientist/artist, whoever it is who created these busts and brought them to life. Beth
