Back on April 5, 2012, Opening Day for my beloved Detroit Tigers, Issa and I spent the day at the Cranbrook Institute of Science. We had quite a day.
Our visit included …
A presentation of a beautiful film in the Acheson Planetarium about Charles Darwin and his voyage on the HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Islands where he studied transmutation by natural selection;
Walking through the temporary evolutionary exhibit, Life on Earth;
Taking shots at a T-Rex replica; 
Visiting the Bat Zone; and
Studying snakes in the institute’s Discovery Center (located on the lower level).
Issa, my husband and I are visiting again, today, for Astronomy Day.
The bat zone is creeping me out. Besides that, sounds like a cool place.
@ Teri – My daughter is into everything creepy. Her latest phase is snakes.
