The University of Alaska Museum of the North will focus on dinosaurs during family programs in November.

Families with children ages 5 and under can drop in at Early Explorers: Dinosaurs from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, Nov. 13. Children can create and discover with hands-on activities in the Creativity Lab, and explore the galleries.

Family Day: Dinosaurs is set for Saturday, Nov. 21, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors can discover dinosaurs that roamed Alaska and the world, talk to paleontologists, uncover fossils and go on a scavenger hunt. There is no admission fee for children ages 17 and under at Family Days, thanks to support from TOTE.

These programs are included with admission and are free for members.
