Join Columbia College Young Alumni for a fun filled day at the Museum of Natural History. We'll kick-off with light bites at a restaurant near by and then head over to the Museum to watch the Turtle Odyssey, get an immersive experience through the Invisible Worlds Exhibit and wrap up our time at the Butterfly Vivarium.

Please note that this event is open to Columbia College young alumni (2015 - 2024). Space is limited so please register early.

Event details will be given upon registration.

The Turtle Odyssey

Follow Bunji, an Australian green sea turtle, on her first solo journey across the open ocean as she meets incredible animals along the way.

In Turtle Odyssey, narrated by Academy Award winner Russell Crowe, discover the wondrous life of a sea turtle, from hatchling to adulthood, and the great migration undertaken by generations before her.

As Bunji leaves the rookery on Great Barrier Reef and swims hundreds of miles, she encounters many marine animals—including humpback whales, parrot fish, and even a great white shark—as well as threats to her survival, like plastic waste.

Invisible Worlds

Explore nature’s hidden realms, and discover how all life on Earth is connected in this new immersive experience.

Invisible Worlds explores networks of life at all scales—including some that are too fast, too small, or too slow for the human eye. At key moments, you'll become part of the story as your movements affect the projections around you.

Butterfly Vivarium

Meet the butterlies - hundreds of them!

Inspired by the Museum's beloved seasonal exhibit, this gallery offers a year-round experience featuring 80 species of butterflies among lush vegetation in tropical temperatures.
