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.
