DINOSAURS: A Story of Survival
Like almost all children, Celeste is fascinated with dinosaurs. She is preparing a talk for her class about how they went extinct when Moon, a very wise and magical character, poses a tantalizing question: what if I told you that there are still dinosaurs among us?
Celeste will join Moon in a journey through time, and exciting adventure that will show them the Earth as it was in the very, very distant past.
They will see the fascinating transformations that these animals underwent over millions of years, creating giant creatures, amored beasts and superpredators, until the day that a cataclysmic impact event caused a mass extintion on Earth.
But all is not lost. Cesleste will discover the key to their survival.
*Closed Captioning for 'DINOSAURS: A Story of Survival' will be available during all showtimes.
Assisted listening devices are available for all shows within the Planetarium at no extra cost. A photo ID is necessary to borrow the device. Please request the devices at the Guest Services desk. If you are planning a visit as a group you can make this request in advance.
