In the Dark Opens Tonight
Sometimes scary, but always intriguing, darkness beckons exploration and represents the unknown. But it's also a natural evolutionary selective pressure that has caused plants and animals to adapt to ecosystems like caves, the deep sea,
the forest at night and life underground.
Since prehistoric times, humans have sought to nd utility in darkness and have invented ways to adapt to dark conditions. In In the Dark, guests experience and explore these mysteries via electronic, mechanical and computer interactives, immersive dioramas and lifelike models.
Be immersed in worlds of darkness.
