Membership has averaged around 100 people each year for the past several years.

SUMMARY:NEW!!! VR Experience with IMMOTION
DESCRIPTION:Step back 66 million years and journey through the final chapter of the age of dinosaurs in Dinosaur Evolution—a thrilling immersive experience that brings the Cretaceous world to life. Witness feathered raptors on the hunt\, armored giants defending their turf\, and the mighty T. rex at the top of the food chain. But even these perfectly evolved creatures couldn’t escape Earth’s most devastating extinction event. Stunning visuals and cutting-edge science reveal how evolution shaped the dinosaurs—and how birds\, their modern-day descendants\, continue their legacy. It’s a prehistoric adventure that will inspire the next generation of paleontologists and conservationists alike.
