Don’t miss the Tyrannosaurs: Meet the Family exhibit upstairs for a roar-some experience. Interested in catching a 3D show? The Toyota 3D Engineering Theater will be open (tickets can be purchased at the box office). \n\n\nHow to Attend:\n\nTickets are free for Community Free Day\, but space is limited.\nCome out on April 12th and experience the thrill of “Evergreen Sprint\,” discover the science behind color\, and let your creativity run wild with hands-on STEAM fun.\n\nImage Source
