New discoveries at the Boonshoft

DAYTON, OH (WDTN-WBDT) - There is always something to discover at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery.

First,  the Caryl D Phillips Space Theater which is getting an infusion of new technology. 

Tentatively scheduled to open President’s Day weekend, “The Dome” will expand traditional Planetarium and Laser Light Shows to include both full dome films and 3D educational movies.

Then Beginning Saturday, February 4, visitors to the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery will encounter Math Midway , the Museum’s newest traveling exhibition that brings the numerical patterns that surround us every day to life.

And finally, Dayton’s newest prognosticating groundhog, Rosie, will step into the spotlight to become part of the time-honored tradition of marmot weather forecasting.

As a new forecaster, Rosie will try to predict either an early spring or six more weeks of winter when she emerges from her special groundhog cabin.

And speaking of forecasters, our own Storm Team 2 meteorologists Tara Hastings will be on hand to help Rosie with her first prediction this Thursday February 2 at 10am..
