Expedition: Dinosaur

A new dinosaur exhibit is opening at Bishop Museum this weekend. Keiki will come face-to-face with a dozen life-size animatronic creatures that growl, move and head-butt each other. They will even get to control the sound and movements of four of the gigantic beasts. Hands-on activities, X-ray CT scans and 3D models show dinosaur digestion, evolution and detail the hunt for fossils since the 19th century. Bring a camera for a photo op inside the mouth of a T-Rex. Take note that Bishop Museum is now charging an additional $4.95 per person to see specific traveling exhibits, including Expedition: Dinosaur. Check honolulufamily.com next week for a full review of the exhibit.

There will also be seminars on koi handling, varieties and the history of the species. When you've had your fill of koi, you can take part in a keiki coloring activity. Be sure not to miss Nemo, Dory, sea horses, sea dragons and see-through jellyfish. See our full guide to the Waikīkī Aquarium here.

President’s Day Etiquette Mini Course

Not sure what to do with your keiki on President's Day?

They can then dress up in party and princess dresses and butter bread, carefully slice chicken strips and hot dogs and pour lemonade as they dine on a three-course lunch.
