Good news for early birds: The Exhibit Halls are opening 30 minutes earlier during our busy months (8:30 a.m., April – June), another Omni film will be available at 9:00 a.m., and we are adding more lunch space and reservation times. Come in early and see Lizards & Snakes: Alive! (closing April 27). This newsletter also highlights numerous new offerings for students and a variety of professional development options for you.
Best,
Educator Programs Group
