Drive-thru Dinosaur Experience POSTPONED until Thursday, July 30!

Due to severe weather, the Drive-thru Dinosaur Experience has been postponed until Thursday, July 30 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Though the museum can't host this year's Dino Festival due to the current health situation, we can still provide you with a small piece of it!

On Thursday, July 30 from 5 to 8 p.m., the museum is hosting the Drive-thru Dinosaur Experience! During the event, museum scientists and education staff will be on hand to feature a variety of displays of actual dinosaur fossils, dinosaur casts, and other dino-related specimens! The event is open to the public and free of charge.

Some of the displays that will be available include dinosaur footprints from Virginia, Stegosaurus plates and skull, a giant sauropod femur, a Triceratops skull, a Triceratops horn with Tyrannosaurus rex bite marks, and - of course - a massive, inflatable T. rex!

During the event, museum research staff will also show-off the comparisons between a Tyrannosaurus rex skull and an Appalachiosaurus skull, as well explain how dinosaurs are still among us in the form of birds!

Museum staff will even have a limited number of gift bags to hand out that include an educational craft and souvenir wrist bands!
