Outdoors at the Museum

Hike the Dinosaur Trail and find yourself surrounded by realistic models of late Cretaceous, North American dinosaurs.

Visit our award-winning Explore the Wild. It's a 6-acre outdoor exhibit the National Science Foundation proclaimed a "national model" as the first science center expansion linking people with plants, animals, and interactive exhibits in the out-of-doors.

At Catch the Wind, you can captain a boat in a 5,000-square foot sailboat pond to learn about the invisible, ubiquitous power of wind.

Our Farmyard has sheep, goats, rabbits, pigs, a steer, turkeys, chickens, and a donkey, Lightning, who loves to play fetch with his rubber ball!

In Loblolly Park, you can make music with drums and bells, climb our multi-level structure, and experiment with water pumps.
