Dinosaur Revolution

May 25 – September 8, 2013

Uncover fossils and facts about dinosaurs as you navigate a giant maze. Live large in reptilian role-play activities, undertake three Mesozoic Missions spanning 150 million years and mimic dinosaur behavior. Become a junior paleontologist and find evidence of your dinosaur doings; and learn why dinosaurs are one of the most successful survivors in earth’s history.

Dinosaur Revolution was created by Minotaur Mazes.

Secrets of Circles

September 2013

What do a bagel, a ball, and a banana all have in common? Cut them through the center, and each one has a circle inside! This is just one of many secrets you may find in a new exhibition created and circulated by Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose.

What other secrets can circles possibly have? They pose no enigma. They are extremely familiar. In fact, they are simply everywhere! And therein lies the mystery. Why are they everywhere? What makes them the best shape for both pizza and car wheels? Why are bubbles and the sun and the iris of your eye all circles? So simple, and yet so incredibly powerful, the circle is found in nature and used in many ways by people…throughout time and across cultures.

Secrets of Circles is produced by Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose, and travels nationwide courtesy of Marvell Semiconductor and Brocade Communications Systems. Traveling exhibitions are presented locally by Xerox Foundation.
