Discovering Chimpanzees: The Remarkable World of Jane Goodall Special Exhibit - Back From Its Successful North-American Tour
Now Showing at Science North
Calgary, Winnipeg, Portland, Denver, Omaha, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Raleigh, Atlanta, Boston. What do these cities have in common? They've all had the opportunity to experience Science North's special exhibit, Discovering Chimpanzees: The Remarkable World of Jane Goodall. While Science North's staff scientists were developing the exhibit, Dr. Goodall was greatly involved in the process. She had her first tour of the exhibit in May of 2002 at Science North and delighted Sudburians with her warmth, compassion, intelligence, and humility. Since then thousands all over North America have visited the exhibit to learn about Dr. Goodall and the wonderful chimpanzees she has studied for 46 years.

Science North Portion of Jim Gordon Walkway Under Renovation Beginning October 23rd
Science North is about to begin a renovation project that will update and renew its aging floating dock. To facilitate this renovation, the entire Science North portion of the Jim Gordon Walkway will be closed effective Monday, October 23, 2006. Although Science North regrets the inconvenience this temporary closure may cause, the work is necessary to ensure the continued safety of all users of the boardwalk. The work is expected to be completed (and the new floating dock re-opened) by mid May of 2007.
