Cross orbits with some of the oldest, fastest, and furthest traveling voyagers in our solar system (and beyond!) on a day to visit the museum that is destined to make an impact on the imagination!

Learn what our experts know about the geological event that caused most dinosaurs to become extinct and may have been caused by an asteroid striking the earth. 

View real fossilized dinosaur bones, meet the museum’s resident dinosaur, and explore a stellar set of activities for all ages to enjoy!

 

Play the “space jeopardy” game with NASA solar system ambassador Amanda Mayo! (See flyer below).
