The New Fort Collins Museum of Discovery Brings So Much More! [Pics]

I believe we are in for a treat as the BRAND NEW Fort Collins Museum of Discovery prepares to open on November 10th. "A place where history meets hands-on science. There's always more to explore!" The museum has done a great job of teasing the amazing new exhibits and features on their Facebook page.

The brand new 16,000 square foot main gallery boasts many new and exciting exhibits for adults and children like the Funky Forest, Meet an Ice Age bison, jam out like a rock star, and discover 13,000 years of Fort Collins history! The Digital Dome Theater is a state of the art 360° screen with incredible surround sound. A few of the movies that will be featured are "One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure", "Cosmic Journey: A Solar System Adventure", and "Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure". The "Free-Zone", requires no admission ticket and includes a Free Observation Deck is on top of the museum where visitors can enjoy a 360° of our historic Downtown, Poudre River and the foothills.
