Members Family Night:
Trains and T Rexes – Sold Out!
Fri., Nov. 1
6–9 pm
Free for Members!
Members are invited to a special family night at Carnegie Science Center, featuring the famous Miniature Railroad & Village® and the film T. REX in The Rangos Giant Cinema. Enjoy exclusive members-only time in the Miniature Railroad to get a sneak peek at the newest addition, the Chinatown Inn, then head over to The Rangos to travel back in time to the Cretaceous period.
For over a hundred years, dinosaurs have inspired and thrilled audiences, commanding blockbuster status in museums and at the box office. Working with top tyrannosaur scientists, a coalition of natural history institutions, and pioneering paleo and visual effects artists, GSF’s original giant screen production aims to be the most dazzling and accurate T. rex documentary ever made. With hat tips to famous specimens, landmark discoveries, and wild cinematic depictions over the last century, the film will explore the interplay between speculation and evidence and reveal how the process of science refreshes and reimagines our understanding of this legendary dinosaur.
T. REX will be screened at 6 pm, 7 pm, and 8 pm. Tickets will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
Chinatown Inn Model Finds Place in Miniature Railroad & Village®
The Chinatown Inn will debut in Carnegie Science Center’s Miniature Railroad & Village® on Oct. 5! The business first opened in 1943 on the first floor of the On Leong Chinese Merchants Association Building and remains a popular staple of the food scene in Downtown Pittsburgh. It’s considered an anchor of what was Pittsburgh’s Chinatown, which received Pennsylvania state historical landmark status in 2021. Earlier this year, visitors voted to include the Chinatown Inn in the display.
