Kangaroo Kraze
Kangaroo Kraze Exhibit Come explore the wonders of the Land Down Under from October 15th January 2nd in the Exploreum's outdoor courtyard! This fall, the Exploreum is hosting a "hopping" new exhibit that will introduce life from "Down Under" to Mobile Bay. With your very own passport to Australia, embark on an adventure featuring live kangaroos, wallaroos, wallabies, baby joeys and more, learn Outback survival skills, see and hear ancient Aboriginal music and art, and get hands-on by making your own boomerang!
The exhibit and Exploreum educational programming teaches audiences about the native species and science of Australia, with an emphasis on the remarkable cultural, innovative and biodiversity found there. The Kangaroo Kraze exhibit will be housed in the Exploreum's tented courtyard. Trainers (aka Roo Wranglers) Carolyn Lantz and Heather Shosho will be on site to inform the general public and school groups about the behaviors of the native species and life in Australia. The Roo Wranglers will also showcase different "animal ambassadors" throughout the day so Exploreum visitors can pet and truly see how unique the animals are. Guests will also have an opportunity to take pictures with some of the baby animals in the courtyard. Perfect for children and children-at-heart, this exhibit is sure to be the adventure of a lifetime!
Australia: Land Beyond Time IMAX Film **Purchase a Combo Ticket to see the exhibit and the Australia IMAX! It's more like another planet than another country. Kangaroos bound majestically across the plains, thorny devils scamper comically through the spinifex and koala families take siestas, lounging together atop their eucalyptus perches. Exotic rainforests and cascading waterfalls also are counted among our continent's hidden treasures. With its endless coastline and vast expanses of red, sandy desert, the Australian continent, seemingly unaffected by time, harbors unique inhabitants and dramatic scenery. It brings to the giant screen animals that hop instead of run, creatures that have fur, yet lay eggs, ants that plant seeds, plants that were the food of dinosaurs and water birds that fly inland to breed only every few years when sporadic rains come. Tracing the four-billion-year journey of the southern continent, Australia: Land Beyond Time explores the lavish richness, diversity and uniqueness of Australia's life, life that survived and evolved during the most challenging of voyages. Through the most ingenious strategies, the film shows how life has managed to flourish on impoverished soils, where flood and drought go hand-in-hand. In breathtaking large-format imagery, it surveys some of the most surreal and fascinating landscapes on Earth from ancient, eroded sea beds and vibrant, red sand dunes that merge with far horizons to the jeweled sea of its immense coral reef. Australia is a remarkable journey through time.
