Charlie & Kiwi's Evolutionary Adventure

Charlie and Kiwi's Evolutionary Adventure offers an engaging story, exhibits and activities that introduce visitors to the basics of evolution, seen through the eyes of Charlie, a young boy who is writing a report about his favorite bird—the kiwi. Join Charlie as he travels back in time to the age of the dinosaurs to discover the kiwi's ancestors and evidence for how evolution works.

Charlie and Kiwi's Evolutionary Adventure is an original 3-part experience that invites visitors to:

See evidence of evolutionary connections between dinosaurs and birds
Enjoy the story of Charlie, whose curiosity leads to his understanding of how evolution works
Engage in activities about variation, inheritance, selection, time and adaptation (VISTA), key evolutionary concepts
