If you're looking for something a little different to do this holiday weekend, amble on over to the Natural History Museum to see Dinosaur Encounters. The program closes for a month on Sept. 1, so hurry over!
Dino-loving kids will love the realistic-looking juvenile T. rex – the puppeteer has this critter behaving very dinosaur-like, complete with twitchy head movements and a bouncy gait. But keep your more skitterish youngsters confined to the stuffed animal galleries – the experience can be intense!
Here are the details: Dinosaur Encounters puppets perform three times daily at 11:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m and 3:30 p.m. Shows take place in the North American Mammal Hall, located on the second floor.
While you're there, amble up to the Thomas the T. rex lab to watch real-live scientists extracting fossilized dino remains and studying them.
Jack's favorite part of the day, right after seeing the massive, life-like dino puppet? A picnic of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches just outside the museum.
