See the world in a whole new way at the San Diego Natural History Museum, featuring world-class permanent and traveling exhibitions, a 3D giant-screen theater, “Wacky Science Sundays” with Ms. Frizzle, camps, guided nature walks and more!
Known affectionately as “theNAT,” the museum’s exhibitions showcase the diversity of Southern California and Baja California peninsula. “Coast to Cactus in Southern California” is an immersive walk through the region’s major ecosystems: coastal mud flats, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, mountains and desert. “SKULLS” invites visitors to view 200 of the weirdest, wildest, and most fascinating animal skulls from the Museum’s research collection; “Fossil Mysteries” examines 75 million years of dinosaurs to mastodons in Southern California; and “Water: A California Story” looks at water-conservation, urban runoff, ocean pollution and over-fishing.  The museum’s new traveling exhibition, “Whales: Giants of the Deep,” runs March 19-Sept. 6, 2016. The exhibition’s unique blend of science, storytelling, and innovative interactivity gives visitors the opportunity to discover more about the world of whales.
