It's official! Our brand new Paleo Lab is open to the public. Come visit this beautiful new space located inside the Eco Eatery. It includes fossil specimens, a dig pit, large foam dino puzzles, and the opportunity to see our paleontology crew work on articulating and constructing our hadrosaur skeleton! Open daily!
Bieser Room of Wonders
A complete transformation of the Bieser Discovery Center has been completed on the first floor of the museum. The final step in a multi-year project to better display more artifacts from our 1.8 million object collection. Come and see what we have to offer!
The Mole-rats are Here!
We are so excited to announce the unveiling of our newest addition to the Discovery Zoo, a naked mole-rat colony! With the help of folks from AV Glass, GlassWorks, Front Street Art Studio, Dayton Digital Woodworking, and artist Rusty Hardin, we have a fantastic new exhibit for guests to enjoy!
Upgrades at SunWatch
We won the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Grant to help with a multi-year project that has begun the construction phase in 2022. Through a matching grant for capital improvements by the National Endowment for the Humanities, we are making some much needed updates to the SunWatch Interpretive Center!
