From November 10, 2024, through January 17, 2025, the Exploreum Science Center invites our winter visitors and locals alike to enjoy the Winter Series Special in our state-of-the-art PCI Digital Dome Theater.

For only $55 you can see every movie on the list below, including our regularly scheduled mission films, as well as visit all of our galleries. Come as often as you’d like – once, twice, or every day if you want! The $55 pass is good for the duration of the special and will go on sale starting November 10th. This is a single person pass and not to be included with any other special events, discounts, etc.  For multiple people, you will need to purchase a pass for each person.

This special film series will feature a rotating lineup of breathtaking documentary films, highlighting extraordinary stories of history, science, and nature. Titles include D-Day: Normandy 1944, Dinosaurs of Antarctica, Hidden Pacific, Cuba, Great Bear Rainforest, and Wonders of the Arctic. Each film offers a unique journey– from the icy depths of the Antarctic to the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest and the historic beaches of Normandy. Alongside these rotating films, visitors can also enjoy our two ongoing favorites, Tiny Giants and T-Rex.

Whether you’re here for a few weeks or all season long, you can see one or see them all with our Film Series Pass, designed for flexibility and value.

For over a hundred years, dinosaurs have captivated audiences in museums and at the box office, with one towering above the rest—the Tyrannosaurus rex. Advances in CGI wizardry and breakthroughs in tyrannosaur paleontology over the past 25 years have set the stage for a fresh look at the “king,” from its early years to its prime. Now, in collaboration with top tyrannosaur scientists, a coalition of natural history institutions, and pioneering paleo and visual effects artists, GSF presents the most dazzling and accurate giant screen documentary ever made on this legendary predator—and its carnivorous Cretaceous cousins.

This immersive film explores the life of the GOAT—the Greatest of All Tyrants—while highlighting famous specimens, landmark discoveries, and the evolving interplay between speculation and scientific evidence. Narrated by Sam Neill, the film tells the remarkable true story of three kids who discovered a teenage T. rex fossil, a find that made international headlines in over 2,000 media outlets.

Come on an extraordinary adventure into magical worlds beneath our feet that most of us never see – one where life is lived at an extraordinary intensive pace, where everything we know seems turned on its head. Experience the hidden kingdoms of the Enchanted Forest and the unforgiving desert of the Wild West.

From BBC Earth, this is the story of a day in the life of two little heroes: a scorpion mouse and a chipmunk. For each of them this will be a day they never forget. It’s a story of drama, danger and courage, of insight and revelation, a journey to discover and understand a new and fascinating natural history.

Using the incredibly immersive power of specialist cameras, audiences will be transported in a very intimate way into another world. Visual effects will enhance the audience’s perception of scale as multi-layered backgrounds exaggerate the sense of miniaturization. Viewers will never see our planet the same way again.
