Witte Museum Autumn Family Science & Dinosaur Discovery

About this adventure

The Witte Museum stands where nature, science, and Texas culture meet along the banks of the San Antonio River. During Thanksgiving week, the museum invites families to dive into Texas paleontology and natural science. Children can stand face-to-face with life-sized Cretaceous dinosaur skeletons in the Naylor Family Dinosaur Gallery, investigate live native reptiles and fish in the McLean Family Texas Wild Gallery, and test their balance, heart rate, and agility across four floors of interactive challenges inside the H-E-B Body Adventure. Daily family labs guide young explorers through fossil casting and autumn ecosystems.
