Destaques

  • View plants & animals from the ancient past to the recent past to the present, and that's just the stuff on display!

  • This museum holds the first dinosaur that was ever on display in the US!

  • This museum is primarily geared towards older kids, so parents with children under the age of five, the Academy probably won't be for you.

The Academy of Natural Sciences is a very old museum, and with old museums come lots of secrets. 

Your quest? To find as many secrets as you can before your friends! The first person to find all of the secrets by the time they reach the bronze tortoise wins! Thing is, you don't know where that tortoise could be hiding...
