The birds of Alaska are represented with sea birds in their rookery, but owls, eagles, loons and geese, and you can even discover the dinosaur-bird connection too!
Bare Bones exhibit offers a comparison of bones of numerous modern and ancient animals, and you can even see early hominid skulls from Africa! What do you think the differences are between human and animal bones? Here you can find out!
There's hands-on fun for kids here too with a touch table so they can explore, draw and connect bones!
