Take a break from your desk and reconnect with the natural world — right in the middle of your workday.

This Earth Month (April), the Academy of Natural Sciences hosts the second annual Confluence – an environmental film festival developed in partnership with BlackStar Projects, cinéSPEAK, the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival and the Philadelphia Latino Arts & Film Festival.

The City Nature Challenge (CNC) is a four-day bioblitz where cities around the world compete to see who can record the most wildlife.

Enjoy pay-what-you-wish admission (recommended donation amount is $10), a festive, family-friendly atmosphere and the Dino Drafts Beer Garden in Dinosaur Hall! In addition to seeing the museum, join us for a special night celebrating Earth Month at the Academy. Plus purchase drinks (21+) and experience food offerings from our partners!
