FREE OMNIMAX MOVIE SCREENING AT THE CARNEGIE SCIENCE CENTER

See TITANS OF THE ICE AGE and Write a Review! JANUARY 31, 2015 9:30AM: FOR MACARONI KID READERS ONLY

January 21, 2015

See TITANS OF THE ICE AGE and Write a Review!

Carnegie Science Center has a special offer for Macaroni Kid families! (If you are NOT a subscriber please subscribe NOW by clicking HERE)  

Parents are invited to bring their kids to see the new Omnimax movie Titans of the Ice Age on the BIGGEST screen in Pittsburgh.  (FREE!) Great computer graphic animations bring woolly mammoths, saber-tooth tigers, and ancient wolves to life!

We’ll then move to tables, give kids paper and pencils, and ask them to write a “review” – just a few sentences about how they liked the movie and what they liked about it.  Or they can just draw a picture! 

Saturday, Jan. 31, 9:30 am  -- Film begins at 10 am and runs 45 minutes; then, time for review writing!

Reviews will be posted on a board in the Omnimax lobby. We’ll ask each kid to sign his or her review with first name, age, and neighborhood.  Since the movie tells about how we learn about ancient animals through fossils, kids will be given a shark tooth fossil, and a movie poster (while supplies last).

The event is free, but advance registration is necessary. Limited capacity, so register soon.  Due to the great demand for Carnegie Museums events, we are unable to keep a waiting list.

Sign up here.

 

ICE AGE DAY

After this event, you may purchase admission to Carnegie Science Center for the rest of the day – it’s Ice Age Day! 

Enjoy four floors of interactive exhibits, plus Highmark SportsWorks®, plus various themed activities. For instance, experiment with a “blubber glove” to see how fat insulation helps animals stay warm in frigid temperatures. 

Courtesy of Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Ice Age animal touchables will be on hand, including mammoth, mastodon, and saber-toothed cat teeth, along with a cast of a mastodon foot. 

The science show “Freeze!” will explore the chilling effects of super-cold liquid nitrogen on balloons, rubber balls, and batteries. 

This ever-popular set of live demonstrations explains what happens when things get really cold!  Join us for all the fun!
