We went to see the Megalodon Exhibit at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History before it left and as a bonus found snow!
My kids were so excited with this little bit of snow!
We ended up getting a membership because it cost almost the same as one visit for our family.
We run into this often as a larger family.
This museum had a great deal for large families though!
$45 for 2 adults and unlimited children!
We have often had to pay for additional children because a family membership only includes 2-4 children.
My second oldest loves everything dinosaur and ancient so this was an early birthday trip for him.
I asked him if he wanted to go see the Megalodon Exhibit before it left or wait and do something closer to his birthday and he said see the Megalodon Exhibit.
He was a bit disappointed with the amount of information about Megalodons in the exhibit and said he wished they had a scale replica of one though.
He seemed to still find it interesting though and always enjoys looking at the dinosaur exhibits at this museum so I am glad we got a membership and can hopefully go again a few more times this year.
They did have a lot of nice hands on things in the exhibit which is always nice.
This tuna display showing how much fish a Megalodon would eat in a day was a big hit with all of my kids.
We have discussed if he could make a living as an archeologist several times.
I used to want to be one also so I get it.
He often knows more information than they have on the exhibit and was asking a worker about one of their casts.
I think he was hoping it was the original but it was a copy.
Our youngest is not as big a fan of life size dinosaurs…
I like the exhibits upstairs the most.
This one showing the different habitats in Oklahoma is especially neat when you have been to all of them.
I always wonder what is going through his mind when he gets quiet like this.
He could talk about dinosaurs all day.
The Tallgrass Prairie exhibit was even more interesting since we were just there.
Their elevators are so much fun!
Do you have a dinosaur enthusiasts in your house?
They have a new exhibit every couple of months (I believe) and right now they have Osage Wedding Dresses.
The kids love doing the scavenger hunt.
One of the statues had a spear…
Their exhibits are so impressive.
Next stop was Thunderbird State Park for a hike.
They have a nice nature center also but it was not open.
We did the Hendon’s Highway loop in the Clear Bay Area from an alltrails.com recommendation but it was a little boring for most of the kids.
Most of my kids do better with something to climb on.
The twins had stepped up on this bent tree so I got on to surprise them and squish them.
We all fit!
