Tuesday, Feb. 28
7:00pm
Infinity Theater
$15 Member: $18 Nonmember
Prepare to be awed by the immersive giant screen film “Serengeti: Journey to the Heart of Africa.” The Serengeti is home to most of Africa’s iconic animals and hosts one of the world’s greatest natural events — the annual wildebeest migration. Nature has orchestrated a perfect symphony in which every species has a very distinct role to play in a larger story — the balance of an entire ecosystem.
After the film, Chris Pague, senior conservation ecologist for The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, will highlight Colorado’s unique grasslands and The Nature Conservancy’s Southern High Plains Initiative.
Presented in partnership with The Nature Conservancy in Colorado.

About Ocean Odyssey
Follow a three-month-old baby whale on a magical journey down one of the Earth’s great ocean highways to discover the incredible world of ocean currents. She will never know it, but as she swims with the flow of the current, her story becomes inexorably connected to our own.
