the magical world of the night
sky in our Star Lab, and engineer

SEA TURTLE WALKS
Through July 24 at the Museum
of Discovery and Science and
AutoNation IMAX Theater (401
SW 2nd Ave, Fort Lauderdale).
Starts at the museum at 9 p.m.,
and ends by 1 a.m. This summer,
the Museum of Discovery and
Science hosts evening Turtle Walks.
The whole family can participate
in an evening of discovery while
uncovering the natural history
and myths of turtles. Nature
permitting, participants will have
a chance to watch a 300 pound
Loggerhead sea turtle venture out
of the ocean to lay her eggs. A
female loggerhead sea turtle may
travel thousands of miles to return
to the beach where she hatched as
a baby to lay her own eggs as an
adult.
At 9 p.m., the adventure begins
at the Museum of Discovery
and Science with an informative
hands-on session about turtles
(land, fresh water, and salt water)
with an expanded focus on sea
turtles. The adventure continues
to Fort Lauderdale beach where
Museum expert guides will lead
guests to the sea turtle’s nesting
grounds to look for amazing sea
turtles. We cannot guarantee a
sea turtle will be spotted on every
walk but when it does happen it
is a natural wonder that no one
will ever forget. Guests should be
prepared to walk approximately
one to two miles, and provide their
own transportation and snacks.
Advance reservations are required
as space is limited. Remaining
2012 dates: July 5, 10, 11, 17, 18,
19, and 24. Admission: $18 for
members, $20 for non-members.
