Play Date at NMNH: Cambrian Critters
Kids & FamiliesTuesday, March 25, 2025, 10:30am – 12pm EDT

Join us on Tuesdays for special family play dates with museum educators!
Tuesday, March 25 is all about one of the most abundant animals of the Cambrian period...trilobites! During this Play Date at NMNH, families will be able to make observations of trilobite fossils, create their own trilobite model to take home, and learn about other extinct ocean life that roamed the ocean alongside the trilobites.
The event is part of our drop-in program, Play Date at NMNH. Play Date at NMNH is a program designed for early learners (ages 0-5), their caregivers, and families.
Location: This program on the 1st Floor inside the David H. Koch Hall of Fossils - Deep Time exhibit. We will be near FossiLab.
Accessibility: Access services such as American Sign Language interpretation, real-time captioning (CART), or audio-description are available with advanced notice. However, accommodations may not be possible with less than two-weeks advanced notice. To request this service, please call (202) 633-5238 or e-mail NMNHAccessibility@si.edu.
