Next stop: the Museum of Ancient Life, where they'll come face to face with lifelike dinosaur exhibits and uncover the mysteries of our planet's distant past. And finally, we'll bid farewell to summer with a Prehistoric Blast End of Summer Party, filled with dinosaur-themed games, crafts, and delicious treats, celebrating the unforgettable memories we've made together.
