Over Thanksgiving break, Cranbrook Institute of Science runs Discovery Days: Turkey and T. rex, exploring all things fossils and dinosaurs (including the bird-dinosaur connection the name hints at) with hands-on activities and interactive experiences around the museum's natural history exhibits. Activities run 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 25 through Sunday, November 29, 2026; the museum is closed Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26. Activities are included with general admission, which is free for members, and the museum offers advance registration for the general public and members. A good way to fill the long weekend for preschoolers through middle schoolers, especially dinosaur fans.
