College Night in CSI: The Experience
Set the books down for an evening and come investigate CSI: The Experience, the blockbuster interactive exhibit created in collaboration with the hit TV series. Everyone with a valid college ID gets in for half price -- just $7 from 6 to 9 p.m. In addition to the exhibit being open exclusively for students, you'll get a chance to meet some of the real forensic scientists featured in the exhibit. Plus, enjoy the Museum of Science and History's exhibit galleries on the upper floor: the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth History Gallery, and the Native American Gallery. The new Noble Planetarium will be open all evening and providing free demos of its all-digital trip through the universe. And the Stars Cafe will be open and selling snacks and drinks.

ENTER THE WORLD OF AVATAR LIKE NEVER BEFORE
IN THE OMNI THEATER, AN IMAX DOME!
Experience a world beyond imagination on the biggest screen in the Southwest. The Hollywood blockbuster from James Cameron will show in 2D on the Omni’s domed screen every evening, beginning March 12 through April 22. Avatar takes you to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home. Tickets for this extended-length special engagement film are $12 for adults and $10 for children (3-12) and seniors (60+). Museum members receive a $3 discount. Get your tickets online later this week. Avatar is rated PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking.
