To celebrate the end of the school year, we took my four year old daughter and some friends to see the movie ‘Backyard Wilderness‘ which is currently playing at the Great Lakes Science Center‘s Cleveland Clinic DOME theater in Cleveland, Ohio.
We loved the imagery and education provided in this film. Nature is very unexpected and often ‘spur of the moment’ so we were all completely blown away by the images that the creators caught on film. It left us wondering, how they were able to be at the right place at the right time for filming.
From the spotted salamanders emerging from their burrows in the spring and making their long dangerous journey to the streams, to the (literally) free-falling wood ducklings, this movie will leave you and your children well educated, excited and entertained. My four year old and her friend could not hide their excitement or laughter during many parts of this movie.
This movie is for ALL AGES. We all walked away with a new found appreciation for the wildlife that surrounds us. Your whole family will be more curious and observant of your own backyards, neighborhoods and surrounding park systems over the next four seasons.
While you are there, don’t forget to check out their special exhibit Vroom! A Car Adventure while you are there! In case you missed it, check out my review of their exhibit here!
