INDIANA BONES AND THE
T.REX OF DOOM

11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Daily

In previous years, the Indiana Bones offerings, Raiders of the Lost Archosaurs and Indiana Bones and the Late Cretaceous were huge hits. As anyone who has seen these shows knows, the only thing as certain as our hero's love of finding fossils is Indy's arch-enemy's love of trying to steal them away. In this show, the rival rogue paleontologist is back with a vengeance with a gigantic robot, T. rex. The only way to save the day is for Indy, along with kids in the audience, to demonstrate their knowledge of fossil dinosaurs and the scientists who have found them.

MEAL OR NO MEAL

12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Daily

Welcome to the funny, fast-paced world of our newest free public show, MEAL OR NO MEAL. It’s the game show that’s taking the country -- well, at least the Natural Science Center -- by storm. If you’re in the audience, you could be chosen as a contestant to show what you know about the foods that animals like to eat. What’s on a meerkat’s menu? If you’re a coatimundi, what do you crave? What does a wallaby want for dinner? In the game, you have to predict the proper lunch boxes that hold the appropriate foods for some of the residents of our new Animal Discovery. Win enough points and you’ll even get to meet one of our animals in person. There will be a lot of laughs to go along with the excitement and suspense of the game as we’re joined by a chimpanzee “banker” who’ll try to cut a deal with you and a certain celebrity named “Howie” who wants to know how you’ll answer the all-important question, “Meal...or no Meal?”
