Creatures of the Deep is a special exhibit of life-size, animated sea creatures that will be on display at the National Corvette Museum. Similar to last year's exhibit Dinosaurs Alive!, this year's exhibit features large exotic marine life, some of which are up to 25 feet long! These realistic creatures use robotics technology to come alive as they are displayed in a simulated under water sea world.
Educators are invited to take advantage of this special exhibit January 15th through April 2nd at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Field trip reservations are being taken now to see this once-in-a-lifetime exhibit.

Over 50 Corvettes will be on display in addition to the Creatures of the Deep special exhibit. At your request, students may also see a second film presentation in our Chevrolet Theater detailing the history and mystique behind America's favorite sports car.
Finally, you might consider making your field trip complete with a tour of the world's only Corvette Assembly Plant, located ¼ mile from the National Corvette Museum.
