Night at the museum isn’t just a Ben Stiller movie, anymore.
The Fort Lauderdale Museum of Discovery and Science is kicking off its newest exhibit, “Dinosaurs in Motion,” by offering a family sleep-over Saturday night inside the museum. For $40 a person, families can explore the museum and exhibits after hours, watch the IMAX film “Dinosaurs 3D: Giants of Patagonia,” with pizza and popcorn and spend the night among the dinosaurs in their sleeping bags.
The “Dinosaurs in Motion” exhibit, which opens today and runs through January 5, is blend of science and art, featuring 14 moving, life-size metal dinosaur sculptures inspired by actual fossils. It’s a hands-on exhibit, where visitors can manipulate the dinosaurs though a series of pulleys and levers as well as with remote controls. It’s a chance to learn how these behemoths actually looked as they moved throughout the planet.
The exhibit will have many other hands-on activities, such as the Junkyard Workstations, where visitors can create their own dinosaur sculptures out of recycled materials.
