Thanksgiving Weekend Events at the Museum of Science

By Jodi on November 21, 2011 in All Ages, Museums

Looking for something to do with the kids over the long Thanksgiving Weekend? There are lots of great things going on at the Museum of Science this weekend!

Check out the newest exhibit, A Day in Pompeii, which provides a glimpse of daily life in Pompeii as it was in 79 AD, the year Mount Vesuvius erupted.

At the Mugar Omni Theater, Greece: Secrets of the Past and Alaska: Spirit of the Wild are both playing.

There’s also the Dark exhibit, the Charles Hayden Planetarium, and the last free Friday night stargazing of the season.
