PARTY THEMES
Young Naturalists
Ages 3–4
Participate with your young
explorers as they meet live animals, create an
animal, dig in a “back yard” for hidden
surprises and take home a crazy animal mask. (One legal
guardian must accompany each 3-year-old.)
Dino Detectives
Ages 4–6
Uncover hidden dinosaurs, search for fascinating fossils
and meet dinosaur-like reptiles in this larger-than-life
party.
Radical Reptiles and Awesome Amphibians
Ages 4–10
See and feel the differences between these two intriguing
animal groups. Experience our high-jumping frogs and take
home reptilian-like crafts.
Carolina Critters
Ages 5–10
Come and explore our unique state without leaving the Museum. We will discover native animals and plants and see where they live. Make and take home an animal track, play with plants that bite back and get up close to a living log to meet unseen critters.
Color and Camouflage
Ages 5–10
Search for hidden animals, learn how animals use camouflage and color in their habitats and make a rainbow of art works to take home.
Dino Bones and More
Ages 7–10
Build a wall-sized T. rex; examine
what skulls and other bones reveal and learn possible causes
of dinosaurs’ extinction.
