A Colossal Exhibit
66 MILLION YEARS IN THE MAKING

The Glazer Children’s Museum will expand its public area to include its

third floor, which will house Big John and a new education center

for dinosaur-themed camps and field trips.

 

The Big John exhibit opens May 26 at the Glazer Children’s Museum and will

be included with museum admission. Timed reservations will be used

to ensure guests can visit Big John with minimal crowds.

 

For the first time, the Glazer Children’s Museum will open its doors to

BRIDGING THE GAp between generations

"It’s hard to believe that these seemingly mythical creatures roamed our planet long ago, so getting up close to a fossil as remarkable as Big John inspires awe and sparks curiosity about the world around us.

 

We are so thankful to the Pagidipati family for their generous loan, which

will spark an interest in dinosaurs and science with young learners

and the entire Tampa Bay community."

 

- Sarah Cole, President & CEO of Glazer Children's Museum
