Backyard Wilderness 3D opened at the California Science Center on October 4, 2019.
The film equips explorers of all ages with the tools and inspiration to discover the wonders of nature that may be at their very fingertips.
Backyard Wilderness 3D follows Katie, a young girl, and her family, who are absorbed by an array of electronic devices and, at first, oblivious to the natural world just outside their home. Katie gradually discovers the intricate secrets that nature has hidden so close to her front door.
The film reminds us that Wi-Fi is not the only connection that matters and that sometimes in ordinary places, you can uncover extraordinary things that can change you forever – you just need to step outside.
“We are so pleased to add Backyard Wilderness 3D to our IMAX theater schedule,” said JeffRudolph, President of the California Science Center. “We anticipate the film will stimulate a deeper connection, among our guests, to the plants, animals, and ecosystems that surround us in our every day lives.”
 | After seeing the film, guests can further explore the natural world around them by visiting Ecosystems in the California Science Center. Ecosystems is an unprecedented blend of live plants and animals, and hands-on science exhibits in 11 immersive environments. From walking through a living kelp forest to experimenting on a polar ice wall, explorers will investigate some of the Earth's most fascinating ecosystems. Highlights include a 188,000-gallon kelp tank populated with live fish, kelp and other marine life; a desert flash flood; and a special gallery dedicated to our own backyard: The urban ecology of Los Angeles. |
“We live in a world where we are consumed with technology and the notion of instant gratification. Our desire for this film is to inspire parents and children alike to slow down and embrace the small marvels of nature. No matter where you live, we all have access to unique and amazing outdoor environments that we can explore together at any age.”
- Emmy Award-winning and Oscar ® nominated filmmakers Andrew Young and Susan Todd
