(nhm.org) Programming centers on hands-on activities, outdoor performances, scientists and educators, and access to the museum’s regular galleries, including Dinosaur Hall, Gem & Mineral Hall, Mammal Halls, and the Nature Gardens. (nhm.org) The Earth Day event lands as Los Angeles-area institutions stack April programming around climate and nature, with the museum also promoting the 2026 City Nature Challenge later this month. (nhm.org) NHM frames the festival around the planet’s “past, present, and future,” tying fossil and specimen displays to current environmental questions for families already visiting one of the city’s biggest museums. (nhm.org) Outside listings have pushed the festival as a weekend pick across Los Angeles, including We Like L.A., Discover Los Angeles, KCRW and NBC Los Angeles.

(expositionpark.ca.gov) For families looking for a same-day Earth Day outing in Los Angeles on Sunday, the pitch is straightforward: one ticket gets visitors a festival, the museum’s permanent halls and time in the gardens before doors close at 5 p.m. (nhm.org)
