Highlights TOP PICK FOR KIDS
THROUGH SEPTEMBER 4
Savage Ancient Seas
Swimming with sharks might seem tame once you see what roamed our oceans 70 million years ago. Skeletal displays of enormous sea creatures—like the toothy, 45-foot Bunker Tylosaurus and colossal, carnivorous sea turtles—reveal secrets of the deep in this new exhibit at the State Museum in Columbia. Head for the planetarium to watch the giant-screen film Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure bring these ancient beasts to life across the 55-foot dome.
FEBRUARY 17–19
