Worcester, MA — Calling all dino lovers, dance fans, and families! Get ready to shake your tail (or tailbone) at the Dancing with the Dinosaurs Dance-a-Thon, a one-of-a-kind event coming to the EcoTarium on Sunday, August 17, 2025, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Hosted by the Worcester Natural History Society, a.k.a. the EcoTarium Museum of Science and Nature, this prehistoric party with a purpose is more than just a funky fossil fest. It’s a heartfelt fundraiser for the upcoming “Change the World” exhibit, set to open in late 2026. The exhibit will be part of the museum’s brand-new Early Childhood Science Learning Center, dedicated in memory of Anthony Putnam, a young science lover who passed away at the age of five.

Expect music, movement, and maybe even a few T. Rex twirls as guests groove among life-sized dino exhibits and explore the museum grounds in full family-friendly fashion. Whether you show up in a Jurassic jumpsuit or just your best dino dance moves, you’re in for a roaring good time.

📍 Where: The EcoTarium, 222 Harrington Way, Worcester
📅 When: Sunday, August 17, 2025
⏰ Time: 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM

The event is open to all ages, and proceeds will directly support the development of science exhibits that empower young minds and keep the spirit of curiosity alive. Let’s dance for a cause and keep Worcester weird, wild, and wonderfully educational!
