Smarty Summer Outing: The National Geographic Crittercam Exhibition at Discovery Place
by Jen Plym June 28, 2012Have you been to Crittercam at Discovery Place yet? If your answer is “no”, then you are totally missing out! This is the coolest exhibit ever and the best part is, it’s FREE with regular museum admission!
So what’s a Crittercam?
No worries, these cameras are safely worn by wildlife and offer a rare view into the private lives of animals – it’s a wild ride – dive deep with penguins, hunt with lions and lurk with crocodiles…Where else can you experience this with your entire family? Only at Discovery Place, of course! -
