About Tellus Museum
Tellus is a 120,000 square foot museum featuring four main galleries: The Weinman Mineral Gallery, The Fossil Gallery, Science in Motion, and The Collins Family My Big Backyard.
Exhibits include an 80 foot-long Apatosaurus and a replica Wright flyer, along with plenty of hands-on experiments with light, sound, and magnets. Dazzling gems and minerals will sparkle and glow alongside interactive exhibits demonstrating how the Earth moves and changes. Admission includes a fossil dig through which children can dig for real fossils and to take home as well as gem panning, where the phrase finders keepers applies.
A 120-seat digital planetarium and an observatory is also on site.
