Come play with Go Ask Mom, dinosaurs at our natural sciences museum event!

Together with our partners at the downtown Raleigh museum, we will be offering some great discounts and activities as part of the museum's Dinosaurs in Motion exhibit, a display of 14 life-size metal dinosaur sculptures that you can actually move yourself.

As I've written before, this exhibit is recommended for kids ages 5 and up. The space is loud and dark and there are giant dinosaur skeletons that seem to come alive. I've been waiting for a day when I could leave my three-year-old at home and take my older daughter. That day never came. So finally I took them both last week.

I'm thrilled to report that both of my girls absolutely loved the exhibit. We were in there for about an hour. My younger daughter, who is usually skittish in the museum's permanent dinosaur exhibit, was a little afraid at first, but warmed up pretty quickly (thanks to her big sister being such a great role model).

I really recommend this exhibit. As one of our Facebook fans wrote the other day: "This exhibit is really cool! The kids had a blast getting to move them, and the parents were fascinated by the work the artist put into each piece."
