A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

Educator Virtual Professional Development Series

<p dir="auto">See the Field Museum in a whole new light! Families and groups with kids ages 6 to 12 can spend the night at the museum during Dozin&rsquo; with the Dinos.</p>
<p dir="auto">Stay up late with scientists as the Field Museum comes to life in games, challenges, and stories throughout the night. Will you dissect owl pellets and identify animal tracks to become the next great wildlife detective? Or, will you embark on a paleontologist&rsquo;s expedition to uncover and identify fossils? Take on these adventures and more with one of the Field Museum&rsquo;s dinosaurs as your guide. Then, grab your flashlight and explore the halls as the lights go out. This is a night at the museum you won&rsquo;t forget!</p>

<p dir="auto">See the Field Museum in a whole new light! Families and groups with kids ages 6 to 12 can spend the night at the museum during Dozin&rsquo; with the Dinos.</p>
<p dir="auto">Stay up late with scientists as the Field Museum comes to life in games, challenges, and stories throughout the night. Will you dissect owl pellets and identify animal tracks to become the next great wildlife detective? Or, will you embark on a paleontologist&rsquo;s expedition to uncover and identify fossils? Take on these adventures and more with one of the Field Museum&rsquo;s dinosaurs as your guide. Then, grab your flashlight and explore the halls as the lights go out. This is a night at the museum you won&rsquo;t forget!</p>
