I think it was a really nice exhibit. A bit geared towards kids it was still fun as a adult. I thought the information kiosks were fun and they had a decent amount of frog habitats. You also got to go to the blues exhibit next door for free (which I did not have time for) but I thought that was a cool addition to the ticket.

This was a very cool exhibit. The movie is really interesting and you should definitely try to watch it. The poisonous frogs were a hit because of their bright colors. There are a number of interactive exhibits that were neat for kids and adults.

The frogs are fun to look at but exhibit was much shorter/smaller than I expected.

It also seemed geared toward small children. It didn't really change the way I look at frogs. I am also not sure why the description describes it as "hands on" because It really was not.

Over all if you have children its a nice exhibit to take them to, but for adults it was a bit simple.

the cost of the tix also includes entrance to the Blues exhibit which is nice.

More Information About Frogs: A Chorus of Colors

Description

MUZEO (the noted center for arts, knowledge, entertainment, and culture in Anaheim, CA) presents its most complex and lively exhibit to date - FROGS: A Chorus of Colors. This new exhibit features a colorful assortment of over 100 exotic live frogs from all over the world (including some poisonous frogs) and allows MUZEO visitors to experience the beauty of frogs in 15 live frog habitats and 12 interactive stations.

FROGS: A Chorus of Colors includes interactive components that make the exhibition a hands-on, minds-on adventure. From “Froguts” to a “Create a Chorus,” visitors can perform a virtual frog dissection or compose a musical sing-a-long by overlapping a series of recorded frog calls. “Frogsperts” can also test their Frog IQ, check their field of vision against a frog’s, guess the differences between frogs and toads, and watch videos of frogs jumping, swimming, walking, gliding and climbing.

A collection of spectacular, close-up photographs by world-renowned wildlife photographers Joe and Mary Ann McDonald, John Netherton, and Michael and Patricia Fogden are featured in panels alongside the live animals to offer a stunning glimpse into the diversity and habitats of frogs.

Although most people have no aversion to frogs, their beauty and elegance are often overlooked. These amphibians are among the most visually stunning, vocally pleasing and adaptively remarkable life forms on earth.

Frogs live almost everywhere, from tropical forests to frozen tundra and scorching deserts. Brilliant orange, bright blue, dazzling red, frogs come in an astonishing array of colors that provides only a glimpse at the remarkable diversity that exists among the frog species inhabiting the globe. Their voices have filled the night with song since the dawn of the dinosaurs. But the chorus is fading. As humans change natural environments, frogs around the world are disappearing. Many efforts are underway to reverse this downward trend globally and in our own backyards.

Visitors will learn that not all frogs look like the common American bullfrog. Green or blue, large or small, and smooth or bumpy, 15 varied species of frogs will call the Museum of Discovery and Science home in self-contained, custom habitats featuring waterfalls, rock ledges, live plants, and other nature-inspired settings.

The exhibit allows visitors to get eye-to-eye with frogs from around the world, including gravity-defying tree frogs, chubby bullfrogs, stout toads, elegant dart poison frogs and saucer-shaped ornate horned frogs. The amphibians on display come from Madagascar, China, Africa, Vietnam and other exotic locations. Their biology, natural history, importance to ecosystems and role in human culture also is explored.

At first glance, many visitors may only see green moss when they look into a lush habitat. But with a discerning eye, they’ll soon realize that some of the “moss” has eyes as the Vietnamese mossy frog reveals how these amphibians are masters of disguise.

To the contrary, visitors learn that dart poison frogs use their bright hues to warn predators that they should not be considered as part of the typical food-chain menu. As with many brightly colored species in the natural world, a brightly colored frog often means it’s hazardous to a predator’s health.

“FROGS is an extremely complex exhibition to mount due to the live environments and remarkable set pieces that require climate control, water elements, and specific lighting, in addition to the care and feeding of the frogs themselves,” remarked Peter Comiskey, founding executive director of MUZEO. “We are thrilled to be showcasing such an impressive exhibition that we know will be very appealing to both adults and families - really anyone interested in the natural world.”
