DOGS! A SCIENCE TAIL

A Fabulous New Exhibit Going On Now At The California Science Center

March 23, 2019

Dogs! A Science Tail, a hands-on science exhibition that highlights the dynamic

nature of the bond between humans and dogs, and enables guests to experience the

extraordinary way that dogs see, hear, and smell the world, will premiere at the California

Science Center March 16, 2019. The highly interactive exhibition also invites guests to share

personal photos and stories of their dogs on a photo wall. As a special daily feature, there will

be live demonstrations of dogs in various roles, showing rescue, agility, sensory and service

skills.


The exhibition will show how the ability to understand and communicate with each other lies at

the heart of the unique relationship between humans and dogs, and what makes this one of the

most successful interspecies partnerships of all time. Dogs! A Science Tail is created and

developed by the California Science Center with support from Annenberg Foundation and Wallis

Annenberg PetSpace. PetSmart Charities®, the leading funder of animal welfare in North

America, is sponsoring the national tour.


Guests will be able to explore the world from a dog’s perspective through a variety of hands-on

exhibits. Experiences will range from listening to hidden sounds that dogs can hear but humans

can’t, excavating replicas of actual fossils to determine if they belong to wolves or dogs, walking

a dog through an interactive neighborhood to understand how pets strengthen the community,

or testing your pop-culture knowledge during a game of “Jeopawdy!” based on the show

Jeopardy!

To complement the exhibit, the Science Center will feature the highly-anticipated documentary

Superpower Dogs which is narrated by Chris Evans and takes audiences on an immersive

IMAX® adventure to experience the life-saving superpowers and extraordinary bravery of some


of the world’s most amazing dogs. Superpower Dogs in IMAX® 3D will open at the California

Science Center on March 16, 2019.


Tickets are on sale now for humans only. Pets are not permitted inside the Science Center*.

Dogs! exhibition ticket prices range from $7.95 to $9.95. Discounted combo tickets for both the
