NHM's annual dinosaur festival brings together prehistoric specimens, paleontologists, museum collections, and hands-on science. Families can explore the Dinosaur Hall and its T. rex growth series, encounter rare fossils, learn about birds as living dinosaur descendants, and investigate how ancient Los Angeles once lay beneath the Pacific Ocean.
Festival activities
- Meet paleontologists from NHM's Dinosaur Institute and other institutions.
- See unusual Cretaceous-era specimens from the museum's collections.
- Participate in hands-on activities, including dinosaur-themed crafts and scavenger-hunt resources.
- Browse dinosaur-inspired merchandise.
The official Dino Fest page still displayed some prior-year material when inspected, so families should confirm 2026 admission and ticket details before attending.
