Natural History Museum

### About This Event

Join us for our very first cultural adventure as we step into one of the greatest museums in the world — the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
This is not just a walk through bones and fossils. It’s a journey into time, space, and life itself. From towering dinosaurs to shimmering gems, from African elephants to ancient human tools — we will explore the building blocks of our planet and our species.
We’ll walk together, pause at cool spots, share thoughts, ask questions, and maybe even get inspired to start our own science or storytelling projects afterward.
This event is designed especially for curious minds under 18 — but adults with an inner explorer are also welcome!

### 🗺️ What We’ll Do:

• Explore selected exhibits together (Dinosaurs, Ocean Hall, Human Origins, Gems & Minerals)
• Share questions, insights, and field journal notes
• Pause for lunch and informal conversation
• End with a light-hearted group reflection (and maybe a mini quiz!)

***

### 🥪 Lunch Plan:

Feel free to bring your own lunch — there’s a lovely indoor area for resting and eating.
Alternatively, food and drinks can be purchased at the museum café.

### 🔔 Important Notes:

• Admission is free.
• All children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
• Bring water and light snacks (no food inside exhibits).
• We'll meet at the Constitution Ave entrance at 11:00 AM. Look for the person holding a book with Mark Twain’s face on it.
