The Marion Natural History Museum frequently runs programs appropriate for adults and large groups including families with children.
All are welcome to attend! Seating tends to be limited at these programs, so we recommend you reserve your spot in advance, but tickets are always available at the door.
“What I love about science is that as you learn, you don’t really get answers. You just get better questions.”
