Wings Over Water (3D)

12:15 p.m. – each day through Feb. 27.

Run time: 45 minutes

As the glaciers retreated at the end of the last Ice Age, they left an astounding gift of connected rivers, lakes, and wetlands across the heartland of North America. Today, these largely unknown water highways remain an oasis for wildlife, from the herds of bison that still roam part of the Great Plains to the swaying grasslands, wildflowers, and vital honeybees that pollinate our crops and especially for the millions of magnificent birds that migrate along these “flyways.”

“Wings Over Water,” narrated by Michael Keaton, tells the story of the epic journeys of three amazing bird families – the sandhill crane, the yellow warbler and the mallard duck – with extraordinary footage of their fascinating behaviors.

Connect with nature and transcend out of your seat in the Rangos Giant Cinema. Fly with the birds across mountains, deserts, cities, and forests in 4K. Not only will you soar with these amazing creatures, but you will also come out fighting for a cause: protecting waterfowl habitats.

For over a hundred years, dinosaurs have inspired and thrilled audiences, commanding blockbuster status in museums and at the box office. But among them towers a king—a tyrant lizard king. With leaps in CGI wizardry and revolutions in tyrannosaur paleontology over the past 25 years, the time has come to see “T. REX” at Kamin Science Center.

With hat tips to famous specimens, landmark discoveries, and wild cinematic depictions over the last century, the film explores the interplay between speculation and evidence and reveals how the process of science refreshes and reimagines our understanding of this legendary dinosaur.

Don’t miss seeing this dinosaur movie inside the Rangos Ginat Cinema in Pittsburgh—it promises to be the most dino-mite T. rex documentary ever made!

Extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the transcontinental railway in Canada, built by the Canadian Pacific Railway, is known as one of the greatest engineering feats in history. The last spike for the railway was driven in 1885.

The film weaves together spectacular aerial cinematography, archival photographs and maps, and the potent energy and rhythms of a live steam locomotive to immerse audiences in this remarkable story from the age of steam. Retrace Canadian Pacific 2816’s original route carved out of mountains, rocks, and riversides from west to east.

Watch this incredible film unfold inside the Rangos Giant Cinema with crystal-clear, 4K digital images and 45 surround-sound speakers that will immerse you in the fidelity of Steam Engine 2816.
