Tired of raking leaves, picking pumpkins, and bobbing for apples? Need a break from candy and costumes? You’ll find something totally different during Dino-Mite Weekends in October at the Academy of Natural Sciences! That’s right…in addition to our awesome Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit, every weekend we will be offering tours, live animal encounters, and brick clubs that will be fun for the whole family. Special activities are free with general admission.
It’s not too late to come face-to-face with roaring, moving, life-size animatronic dinosaurs in Dinosaurs Unearthed. This exhibit is fun for the whole family, including your younger paleontologists. Then after you check out the exhibit, you can get the behind-the-scenes scoop during a tour of Dinosaur Hall, meet live dinosaur cousins at the Reptile Cart, and join fellow Lego-lovers to build dino-inspired creations. It’ll be the most explosive October on (the fossil) record!
