Dinosaurs are awesome. Space is awesome. Put them together and you get an epic mashup of titanosaur/starship proportions! MCM members are invited to direct their spaceships/time machines to the museum for a members-only night of science-inspired crafts, games, snacks, and more.

Dinos in Space Special Activities

Fossil Dig: Calling all budding paleontologists! Help us excavate fossils and learn about how ancient critters and plants became fossilized in the first place.
Dino Drama Dioramas: Visit the Art Studio to create your own epic dinosaur diorama to take home.
3, 2, 1, Blast Off! Wind Tunnel Flying Machines: Get crafty and learn about aerodynamics, all at the same time! Use up-cycled materials to create your own contraptions and then see how they fly in our wind tunnel.
Scavenger Hunt: Search through time and space (AKA the whole museum) and win awesome prizes.
Space Snacks: Grab a nibble before blasting off on your adventure (or grab dinner from the Lunchbox Cafe)
And, as always, enjoy members-only playtime in the museum
