Dinosaur Themed Planetarium Programs:
Kindergarten-3rd Grade: Dinosaur- Story of Survival
Like almost all children, Celeste is fascinated with dinosaurs. She is preparing a talk for her class about how they went extinct when Moon, a very wise and magical character, poses a tantalizing question: what if I told you that there are still dinosaurs among us? Celeste will join Moon in a journey through time. An exciting adventure that will show them the Earth as it was in the very, very distant past. They will see the fascinating transformations that these animals underwent over millions of years, creating giant creatures, armored beasts and super predators, until the day that a cataclysmic impact event caused a mass extinction on Earth. But all is not lost. Celeste will discover the key to their survival.
4th-12th Grade: Dinosaurs of Antarctica
From the Permian through the Jurassic, journey to the south polar landscapes of Antarctica hundreds of millions of years ago. Roam the primitive forests and thick swamps with bizarre dinosaurs and colossal amphibians. Enter a surreal world of bug-eyed giants and egg-laying mammals—where survival means enduring the sunless, six-month polar winter surrounded by meat-eaters with night vision. Join intrepid Antarctic scientists on a quest to understand the ice continent’s profound transformation—and to predict the future as humans drive dramatic change. Welcome to the lost prehistoric world of Gondwana. Welcome to Antarctica.
4th-12th Grade: T-Rex
T.REX is about perhaps the world’s most studied, iconic, and movie-immortalized dinosaur of all time. The film examines its 80-million-year evolution and its enduring status in the public imagination as the greatest dinosaur to ever walk the Earth. The film follows the remarkable real-life discovery of a juvenile T. rex dinosaur in the rocky badlands of North Dakota by three young boys – a fantasy come true.
