SAN ANTONIO, Texas (March 7, 2023) – Chill with Antarctic Dinosaurs, explore the wild and vivid lands of Texas and watch raptors fly overhead. Spring break at the Witte is an adventure full of wonder for all who wonder, packed with exhibitions, activities and events for all ages to enjoy. The Witte Museum is open daily from March 11 through 19, 2023 for spring break in San Antonio with tickets available online at WitteMuseum.org/SpringBreak.

Enjoy limited-time special exhibitions you won’t find anywhere else, including:

• Antarctic Dinosaurs – Come along on a dramatic adventure to Antarctica—one of Earth’s most isolated and dangerous environments—and dig into a breathtaking discovery: dinosaurs!
• Toys: The Way We Play – Relive cherished memories from childhood with retro toys—such as Cabbage Patch Kids, G.I. Joe, Teddy Ruxpin, Care Bears, Star Wars, Transformers and more—alongside early toys revealing that how we play has been the same for generations.

Daily demonstrations at the Witte help keep the learning going while school’s out. Have you ever wondered if dinosaurs had feathers and why?
