Planet Ice: Mysteries of the Ice Ages at Heinz History Center
Details
This summer, cool off inside the History Center’s newest exhibition.
Journey through Earth’s prehistoric past in Planet Ice: Mysteries of the Ice Ages, an immersive experience that uncovers how the ice age shaped our world and its people.
Produced by the Canadian Museum of Nature, Planet Ice takes visitors on an epic voyage spanning 80,000 years, exploring a frozen world transformed by glaciers, a changing climate, and people who adapted to survive.
Come face-to-face with mastodons, saber-tooth cats, and other ice age giants that once roamed the land alongside early humans.
Exhibit Information and Tickets
The first 5 to sign up (who are not members) will get FREE ADMISSION. I will contact those who are getting the free admission. If you are getting a free admisssion please arrive on time and find me in the entry area (I will have a Meetup sign).
All of us will meet in the lobby after we check in at 11 am. Please arrive punctually. If you are late it will be up to you to find the group on your own! Members and those purchasing tickets will need to reserve/purchase an admission. The cost is $20 for adults, $18 age 62 and up.
Parking: You can park in one of these four parking lots within walking distance to the History Center:
- 11th and Smallman Street Lot (usually has a discounted rate for visitors to the History Center as long as there are no special events)
- Convention Center Garage
- Grant Street Transportation Center Garage
- 13th and Smallman Street Lot
Limited on-street parking surrounding the museum is also available. Please note: these lots are not owned by the Heinz History Center and the cost of parking varies based on demand and special events. Allow enough time to park and walk to the museum!
Lunch: We may opt to walk up to the strip district (about a 10 minute walk) for some lunch at about 1 pm. Depending on the number going to lunch, we will probably go to the Novo Asian Food Hall OR Aslin Beer Hall & IzzI Cafe since they are straight up Smallman St. and we can all have separate checks.
