For those who love a more hands-on experience, the museum offers interactive exhibits that make learning both fun and engaging. Touch real fossils, examine insects up close, and dive into the latest scientific discoveries. The butterfly pavilion is a colorful escape where you can walk among dozens of fluttering butterflies, each more beautiful than the last. This magical experience will make you feel like you’ve stepped into an enchanting world.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there. If you’re a stargazer or a lover of the cosmos, the museum’s planetarium is a must-see. With its stunning visuals, you’ll feel like you’re floating through space, learning about black holes, distant galaxies, and the mysteries of the universe. It’s an awe-inspiring experience that will leave you dreaming about the stars.
Now, for those who want to take their visit to the next level, the museum offers an array of ticketed exhibitions that you won’t want to miss. Step into The Secret World of Elephants, an intimate, eye-opening look at these magnificent creatures. Discover their intelligence, emotional depth, and the challenges they face in the wild through immersive storytelling and breathtaking visuals. Or, if you’re a fan of marine life, The Turtle Odyssey will take you on an unforgettable journey across oceans, following sea turtles on their incredible adventures. It’s a rare glimpse into the lives of these amazing creatures.
For nature lovers, The Davis Family Butterfly Vivarium is a true wonder. Wander through a tropical paradise filled with colorful butterflies as they flutter all around you. It’s an experience you’ll want to capture in photos and memories alike. The Invisible Worlds Experience is another must-see, where you’ll discover the microscopic life that shapes our world in ways we can’t always see. It’s an incredible deep dive into the unseen world of tiny organisms, showcasing the invisible forces that affect our daily lives.

The Invisible Worlds Immersive Experience. Invisible Worlds, an immersive and interactive 360-degree science-and-art experience in the new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation, offers a breathtakingly beautiful, scientifically rigorous, and engaging view into networks of life at all scales. This 12-minute looping experience is powered by scientific data and celebrates the richness of life’s diversity and the basic building blocks of life, including DNA, that connect all living things on our planet.
