Spring Break at the Witte
The Witte Museum has your San Antonio spring break activities covered! Fill your spring break with fun, family-friendly, educational experiences. Explore the wild and vivid lands of Texas, make new friends in the SWBC Live Lab, learn about Texas history and uncover something truly wild… Antarctic Dinosaurs inside the special exhibition!
Antarctic Dinosaurs • Open for a Limited Time
Come along on a dramatic adventure to Antarctica—one of the most isolated and dangerous environments on Earth—and dig into a breathtaking discovery: dinosaurs! Antarctica today can be a harsh land of ice and snow, but 200 million years ago it was a bountiful, forested habitat where dinosaurs thrived. In Antarctic Dinosaurs, you’ll step back in time to discover the dinosaurs that ruled these now-fossilized forests.
