Program Description

Event Details

Get ready to trade the ground for the clouds in a high-flying drone adventure!
Help us "unearth" the secrets of these incredible flying reptiles.

What we’ll be doing:

  • Discover the "Non-Dinos": Did you know Pterosaurs weren't actually dinosaurs? Learn all about these amazing creatures that lived alongside the T-Rex.
  • Design Your Gear: We’re diving into the world of Pterosaur anatomy. You’ll learn why they had so many different types of beaks and then create your own pterosaur beak to wear!
  • Take to the Skies: Once your beak is ready, it’s time for a "reptile’s eye view". We’re teaming up with Captain Davey (Davey Wagner), a Registered FAA Drone Pilot, for a one-of-a-kind fly-a-long. You'll see exactly what a Pterosaur saw (without the threat of T-Rexes) as it soared through the air millions of years ago.

Children must be accompanied by a guardian.
