DIAMONDS & DIORITE: A MINECRAFT DAY

SAT, NOV 15TH
10AM-2PM

Step into the world of Minecraft™—and beyond! At this interactive event, kids and families can experience geology in real life through hands-on fun with rocks and minerals straight from the game’s universe.

  • Touch: Explore real specimens that match the ores and blocks you know from Minecraft™—handle, compare, and discover what they’re made of.
  • Learn: Dive into an exhibit that connects the game’s virtual landscapes to real-world geology.
  • Play: Hunt for clues in a scavenger hunt, crack open geodes, and build your own creations.
  • Watch: A Minecraft Movie at 12pm. Limited seating, must RSVP in advance. Register here.
  • Shop: Find Minecraft™-inspired gifts and souvenirs to continue the adventure at home.
Included with general admission. Free for members.
