Explore More Life is a one-of-a-kind, minds-on lab environment that enables understanding and appreciation of biodiversity through exploration and experimentation. Biodiversity unites all living things, including our visitors. So prepare to roll up your sleeves for an engaging exploration of real-world life science.

Visit the touch tank to get an up-close look at live aquatic species including sea urchins and horseshoe crabs. Meet new and interesting species, including the albino axolotl and Madagascar hissing cockroach. Keep an eye out for a hairless fancy rat who often perches on the shoulder of our lab staff.

Observe the relationship between organisms and their environment in the aquarium-terrarium system, and determine your own hypothesis on how this ecosystem works. Participate in a dissection or design and conduct your own experiment in Explore More Life.

Lab activities are constantly evolving but always include dynamic activities that provide opportunities to explore big ideas through inquiry. Activities are fun for all ages and skill levels.
