This summer, Balboa Park comes alive after 5 with extended hours at participating Museums, including theNAT. We’ll be open until 8 PM on Fridays from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. Read more .

In a failed attempt to shrink humans to reduce world hunger (great idea, geniuses), a group of scientists unwittingly create giant, mutated, venomous shrews that feed on flesh. Will scientific thinking save these genetic meddlers or will the killer shrews gnaw their way to planetary domination?

Wish you had a time machine? Become a dinosaur detective and dig into the lives of these giant reptiles as we step back millions of years. Our journey to the age of dinosaurs is packed with crafts, games, and activities that explore the secrets of a strange pre-historic world. We’ll tour the Museum’s traveling exhibition, Ultimate Dinosaurs and go on field excursions.

Lizards and bats and rabbits, oh my! Come discover the creatures and critters that live in our own backyard. San Diego has some of the most natural diversity in the country and even the world. We’ll spend time in our new permanent exhibition Coast to Cactus in Southern California, explore Balboa Park, make crafts, sing songs, and learn about our animal neighbors. Everyday holds magic in our lovely region.
