    Oh my Dinosauers
    Both movies, Dinosauers Alive and Hidden Pacific, were excellent. The photography is awesome and both movies were very interesting & educational. While the Dinosauer models were very good and realistic with roars and movements thrown in, the exhibit would be more interesting to young children. We go to the Exploreum every winter when we are on the Gulf Coast & always enjoy our time there, but if we had it do over again, we'd probably just go to the 2 movies & save the money we spent on the exhibit.

    The Great Adventure
    If you want a series of awe-inspiring attractions to thrill not only you, but your kids too, take them to the Exploreum! This is a great place displaying attractions ranging from the dead sea scrolls to Ancient Egypt. They have something new about every 6 months and I always go. They also have a side area of scientific things and other attractions.
