SAN ANTONIO, Texas (July 6, 2023) – Dinosaurs have taken over the Witte! Join the deluge of dinosaurs and immerse yourself in the world of paleontology during the Witte Museum’s 2023 Dinosaur Family Reunion. Visit dinosaur-related activity booths across the museum campus, explore two special exhibitions—Tyrannosaurs: Meet the Family and Antarctic Dinosaurs—and have a paleontologist at the Witte help identify your fossil/rock finds. The Dinosaur Family Reunion is at the Witte Museum from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 8. Additional information can be found at WitteMuseum.org/Events.

The Dinosaur Family Reunion offers opportunities to engage with experts, learn how paleontologists work and do fun dinosaur-related activities.
