Embark on a roaring adventure through the Museum of Discovery and Science’s Expedition: Dinosaur Rise of the Mammals, where science and fun collide! During Roar & Explore Weekends, you can dig for fossils like a paleontologist, uncover the secrets of how dinosaurs evolved into the animals we know today and explore the incredible story of the extinction event that reshaped life on Earth. Get hands-on with real fossils, make your own shark tooth necklace and investigate prehistoric ecosystems. Meet living dinosaur descendants in thrilling animal encounters, discover the tools and techniques scientists use to uncover ancient secrets and even step into the shoes of a paleontologist in the Dino Dig Pit. Little ones can hatch dinosaur eggs, create fossils and bring dino puppets to life in fun activities just for them. It’s a dino-mite journey full of discovery, science and excitement for all ages!
Expedition: Dinosaur Rise of the Mammals is presented locally by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
Explorers also won’t want to miss the new, revolutionary HoloTheater, set to debut this summer with Dinosaur Discoveries: A Holographic Adventure, a stunning visual journey through 140 years of paleontology that brings dinosaurs to life in jaw-dropping fashion. This dynamic and immersive storytelling attraction, the first of its kind on the East Coast of the United States, uses three-dimensional holographic technology, precise laser-projection and video mapping to bring audiences up close and personal to life-size dinosaurs. Developed by BASE Xperiential, producers of mixed-media and live holographic entertainment and brought to market in partnership with MacGillivray Freeman Films (MFF), the world’s foremost independent producer and distributor of giant-screen films, the HoloTheater redefines museum storytelling offering an interactive learning experience that blends advanced holographic projection, panoramic visuals and spatial audio to engage and inspire guests of all ages.
