Enjoy a presentation on Tanzania National Parks at the November
Family Fun Day. Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and Mt. Kilimanjaro are easily recognized for their beauty and wildlife. But the incredible and rarely visited National Parks in Tanzania's "southern circuit" are hidden treasures. Join us for a slide presentation, entitled
Discovering Tanzania, on four of these parks by Joe McDaniel. This 45-minute slide show will reveal the diversity and abundance of wildlife in Ruaha, Katavi Plains, Mikumi and Udzungwa Mountain National Parks. There will be two presentations, one at 11:30 and another at 1:30. Kids can also have their faces painted from 12:30 - 3:30 p.m.
In addition to the various art and natural history galleries, several innovative multiple-media exhibits are featured throughout the museum. The largest of these exhibits is the 315-person iWERKS® and DTS digital sound theater where guests are able to view an array of large-format films. The theater is currently showing
The Living Sea and will begin screening
Lost Worlds on October 29. Call (720) 488-3300, or visit
thewildlifeexperience.org, for movie show times. Along with the iWERKS® Theater, there are several large screen displays that project high-definition video and 3-D computer graphics on various conservation efforts from around the world. Throughout the museum, there are interactive kiosks that allow visitors to learn about wildlife and conservation through video, animation, text and video games. One of these interactive areas is the National Geographic Channel Theater. Each of these theaters and interactive stations communicates the museum’s mission to visitors through advanced technologies in compelling and dynamic forms.
