A Date with Dinos

On Friday we went to a very special event, a private exhibition at the Science Museum to view the Big 8 Dinosaurs exhibit that has taken Hong Kong by storm this summer and fall.  

I can totally see why, it is an amazing exhibit!  I hope to take the kids again before it closes, although the regular experience will pale in comparison to being there and having the entire place to ourselves at night!!  

My only criticisms are that the program plan was scheduled too late (the first activity didn't start until 7:30 and we reluctantly left at 9:45 when we still weren't done) and they focused a little too much on scavenger hunts and activities at the expense of the very informative and interesting personal guided tour.

The boys made it through almost one activity before they had to head home for bed.  Lola exceeded her bedtime by nearly 2 and a half hours.  It was still worth it, I think.  Watching her bubble over with excitement while her brain is processing all the new information about the T Rex's sense of sight and smell, looking at the fully excavated fossil of a baby sauropod, or comparing the relative size of eggs, was so rewarding and magical.
