Senior Day honors those 65 and older
Seniors aged 65 plus receive free admission to the High Desert Museum on Senior Day, Wednesday, October 18. This family-friendly day has a full schedule of daily programs including wildlife encounters, exhibit tours and a special Wolf Talk presented by Museum volunteer Bill Gawlowski who has worked with Wolf Haven and Mission Wolf, a Colorado-based wolf education program. Visitors can enjoy the newly-opened exhibition: Dinosaurs Take Flight: The Art of Archaeopteryx and see what innovations designers have created in the Innovation Lab: Designs Inspired by Nature exhibition.
“We are pleased to be able to offer this special day for seniors and families to enjoy all that the Museum has to offer,” said the Museum’s Executive Director Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. ”Senior Day is a wonderful opportunity to share history, wildlife and art of the High Desert with family and friends.”
