A few to-dos in partic that caught our eyes
Ultimate Dinosaurs
Science Museum of Virginia’s latest exhibit is now open and entertaining for adults and kiddos alike. Ultimate Dinosaurs features 17 massive dinosaur skeletons, real fossils, and interactive augmented reality experiences, highlighting prehistoric species from South America, Africa, and Madagascar — dinos who look totally different from the ones you grew up learning about. Enjoy the exhibit and don’t forget to take in family-friendly things like Minds of All Kinds, a less crowded environment for hands-on, dinosaur-themed activities designed to pique curiosity and inspire discovery.
Location: 2500 W Broad St (Museum District)
Cost: $17.50+ (kids 2 and under get in free)
Dates & times: Now through September; Saturday - Thursday, 9:30 am - 5 pm; Friday, 9:30 am - 8 pm
Front Lawn Fun
On Tuesdays this summer, Virginia Museum of History & Culture adds a historical touch to playtime. Head to the Museum District for a morning of fun and games on the spot’s front lawn.
