The American Museum of Natural History hosts a full day of family-friendly activities, performances, and lectures showcasing local and international efforts devoted to preserving planet Earth.

What makes a monster? Is it size, fangs, or just a matter of perspective?
Join Radiolab’s family nature podcast, Terrestrials, for a deep dive into the critters that creep, crawl, and captivate—from the pigeons that rule New York City sidewalks to deep-sea giants that haunt the ocean depths. Hosted in the Gilder Center’s Kenneth C. Griffin Exploration Atrium, this live, interactive experience invites curious young minds to reimagine the natural world.
