Life on Earth Exhibit at Cranbrook
Kids can discover how the world is connected from Oct. 13, 2011 till Sept. 2, 2012 at the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills
The only constant is change, someone once said – and there's plenty of that to explore in Life on Earth, a special exhibit opening Oct. 13, 2011 at the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills. From rare fossils to big beasts, it traces creatures through Earth's five (wowza!) major mass extinctions through a total 3.4 million years of evolution, showing why diversity is key to humanity.
Specimens from Cranbrook and other sources cover all of the major groups of plants and animals. There's a Bengal tiger, white rhino, lion, baboon, monkeys and grizzly bear – plus exotic birds, crocs and snakes, marine life, spiders, insects and a stunning collection of butterflies and mollusk shells.
This exhibit runs till Sept. 2, 2012. It's open daily except Mondays and major holidays. Hours are as follows:
- Tuesday-Saturday: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Friday: 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
- Sunday: Noon-4 p.m.
Admission is $12.50 per adult, $9.50 per child ages 2-12 and free for kids under 2.

Where would I purchase and pick up tickets for your Life on Earth Exhibit? I would like to bring my grand-daughter, a first grade student, on Saturday afternoon.
Also what would be the charge to bring her whole first grade class of 22 from the Holly Elementary School to see the Exhibit one day during the week?
Thank you.
