The fun meter will see a serious spike in March at the Museum of Nature & Science. From hair-raising live shows, daytime Discovery Camp sessions and Deep Sea Sleepovers during Spring Break, to Sharky Sundays and after-hours adult fun at Beer & Bones, the Museum will be swimming with excitement next month.
March 1 marks the opening day for the IMAX® film Flying Monsters featuring prehistoric pterosaurs with wingspans of up to 45 feet. Plus Kobie Boykins, a dynamic young engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will give an exciting discussion that evening at the GeoTech Lecture.
