DINOSAURS: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries
The California Academy of Sciences Showcases evolving theories that suggest dinosaurs may still fly among us. The exhibition shatters many preconceived notions about these ancient beasts by presenting some of the most recent dino discoveries in the fields of paleontology, biomechanical engineering, and paleobotany. After wandering through a 700-square-foot walk-through diorama featuring more than 35 different ancient species, viewing a feathered dino cast, and exploring interactive computer simulations and animations, visitors will never think of dinosaurs the same way again.
At the California Academy of Sciences 875 Howard Street San Francisco Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day.
