Experience something new each visit! Each year you can expect either a new permanent exhibit or a unique traveling exhibit to explore with your family. Keep your eyes peeled for the next traveling exhibit announcement soon!

From May 17 to September 7 embark on a prehistoric adventure when Dinosaur Explorer is at Impression 5!

This one-of-a-kind exhibit takes you on a journey exploring wild, wacky, and wonderous dinosaurs and examines human physiology through the lens of these magnificent creatures. Whether it’s feeding or family dynamics, intelligence or interpersonal relationships, Dinosaur Explorer asks: where do we see similarities in our world today? Explore and create a whole new understanding of the most fascinating living organisms in known history.

Dinosaur Explorer is supported by the Dart Foundation, MSUFCU Desk Drawer Foundation, Choose Lansing, and the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA).

Step into the vibrant world of I Am Wild, a hands-on exhibit inspired by artist Charley Harper’s bold, colorful style of “minimal realism.” This unique exhibit explores six lively habitats including the Desert, Ocean, Rainforest, Sky, Woods, and City. Children and families will discover the beauty and connections of the natural world, while fostering an appreciation for the diversity of wildlife. Additionally, visitors can view a collection of Harper’s artworks, highlighting his favorite subjects and printmaking methods he used during his career. Interact with colorful birds, animals, and insects in these unique habitats through plenty of hands-on activities, including:

- Playing hide and seek with woodland creatures.

- Creating your own soundscapes with different bird calls.

- Acting like your favorite creatures.

- Exploring art making in Harper’s style of minimal realism.

I Am Wild will be at your Science Center until January 4 and is locally supported by the Dart Foundation.
