Saber-toothed cat struts down Wilshire Blvd in L.A. and comes home to the Tar Pits!

On Sept. 5 2012, our Saber-toothed cat took a stroll down to Wilshire Blvd. to announce that Ice Age Encounters will be at the La Brea Tar Pits every Wednesday and Saturday! Our favorite smilodon even got the CoolHaus Ice cream truck to stop by with some delicious Ice Age-themed treats. Ice Age Encounters transports you to the Los Angeles of the Late Pleistocene. While on this journey, you'll meet the extinct creatures that lived in pre-historic L.A., and witness the natural processes that preserved their remains for thousands of years. You'll even survive a close encounter with a Saber-Toothed Cat — and meet the scientists who study its fossils at the Page Museum! For Showtimes and Tickets http://www.tarpits.org/iae/ FREE with Museum admission. Presentations depict a realistic prehistoric animal and may be frightening for very young children.
