Submerge yourself in the world of Sharks and prepare for the annular solar eclipse.

Frost Science members are invited to be the first to experience our newest special exhibition, Sharks, during an exclusive members-only evening on Friday, October 13, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The exhibition features life-size shark models, augmented reality interactives, touchable shark specimens and more. Learn how sharks have dominated Earth’s oceans for over 450 million years, the threats they face today, and how we can protect them from further harm.

Special Member Bonus: To help members prepare for the annular solar eclipse taking place the following day on Saturday, October 14, there will be special eclipse programming in the Frost Planetarium, including how to safely view the eclipse from home. Members who attend the Sharks exhibition preview will also receive complimentary solar eclipse viewing glasses (Each member household is limited to two viewing glasses per household, while supplies last).

During the members-only preview, members will receive:

  • Access to all museum exhibitions from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. – just for members
