The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science will host roaring fun for all in the new season. The fall programming will feature a new dinosaur exhibit, Mini-Camps, An Evening with Neil deGrasse Tyson, and more.
Unveiling “Ultimate Dinosaurs”
This October, Frost Science will unveil “Ultimate Dinosaurs: Meet a New Breed of Beast” on October 8. This interactive special exhibition will encourage paleontologists in the making to uncover some of the most significant dinosaur discoveries from the Southern Hemisphere over the last two decades. “Ultimate Dinosaurs” reveals a recently discovered breed of dinosaurs that evolved in isolation in South America, Africa, and Madagascar. The exhibition showcases rarely seen specimens, including 13 dinosaur casts, real fossils, and touchable fossilized dinosaur specimens.
“Ultimate Dinosaurs: Meet a New Breed of Beast” will be on view through April 23, inside the Hsiao Family Special Exhibition Gallery on the first floor of the museum. Admission to the exhibition is included with all museum admission tickets. Click here for more information.
Mini-Camps are Back
Discover the perfect action-packed solution to a Teacher Planning Day. Frost Science’s Mini-Camps invite students ages 5 to 11 years old to spend the day exploring interactive exhibitions, conducting science experiments, and making new friends. The series kicks off with “Mini-Camp: Forensic Lab” on September 26, with hands-on explorations of the technology scientists use to solve crimes.
On October 5, Dr. Cary Woodruff, Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at Frost Science, will make an appearance at “Mini-Camp: Dino Explorers” on October 5.
