Walk Through Time

Take a walk through time at the Arizona Museum of Natural History. From the origins of the universe, the formation of rocks and minerals, to the origins of life, explore Paleozoic Seas, Mammal-like Reptiles, Triassic Petrified Forests and Wetlands, Cretaceous Seas, and First Flight!

Origins of the Universe
