"Dino-Ween is such a blast," says Las Vegas Natural History Museum Director of Education Grace Njoroge.

Throughout the year. Grace designs STEAM-oriented educational programming for the museum--captivating young visitors and introducing them to natural-science concepts, the humanities and history, even as they're having fun.

Halloween, especially, spotlights this imaginative programming, through the museum's annual "Dino-Ween" celebration.

Games, hands-on maker activities, costumes, candy and, most of all, fun learning activities, characterize the day.

This year's "Dino-Ween" happens next Friday, October 25th, from 10 am to 3 pm. Guests are encouraged to come in costume, and children in costume, ages 3 to 11, receive free admission. Here's the link for more information.

And once Friday is over, the fun--and the education-continue.

LVNHM's additional programs include regular shark feeding presentations, "Creepy Crawlies" workshops on millipedes on October 27th and the upcoming "A December to Remember" program, spotlighting holiday traditions from around the world,

Grace offered a preview of "Dino-Ween" 2024, explained what guests will see in some of the museum's exhibits and gave us a look ahead at an exciting special event happening in 2025.
