Exhibition: Giants of the Ice Age MS Museum of Natural Science

  • 31 Jan 2026

  • 2148 Riverside Drive, Jackson, MS 39202

Experience 12 full-sized, scientifically accurate robotic Ice Age animals - breathing, roaring, gnashing teeth, turning their gaze, waving their tails, and bringing the Ice Age to life.  

At this indoor and outdoor exhibit, you will: 

  • Stand beneath a towering Woolly Mammoth and face off with the ferocious Short-faced Bear 
  • Meet ancient icons like the Dire Wolf, Terror Bird, and Woolly Rhinoceros 
  • Marvel at the colossal Gigantopithecus, the largest primate to ever live 
  • Encounter the curious Macrauchenia, the armored Glyptodon, and the towering Irish Elk 
  • Discover how Ice Age creatures survived extreme conditions - and what led to their extinction 
  • Engage with colorful displays, videos, and hands-on learning stations that make ancient life come alive 

Giants of the Ice Age blends science, artistry, and storytelling to show you how these incredible species existed in a frozen world filled with challenges and surprises. From tusks to talons, it’s a thrilling adventure through deep time you won’t forget! 

"Thanks to the generosity of our donors and members, we’re able to help bring exciting, interactive exhibits like Giants of the Ice Age to Mississippi. Supporting the Museum through membership and giving means making a direct impact on families, education, and conservation right here at home,” says MMNSF Executive Director Susan Frazier.
