ONE EGGCELLENT ADVENTURE. The Delaware Museum of Natural History is calling all budding paleontologists. " Hatching the Past: the Great Dinosaur Egg Hunt" in Wilmington ( Feb. 4-April 30 ) includes 100 fossilized eggs, with every major dinosaur group represented. Visitors can touch dino eggs, marvel at the life-size models of hatchlings and embryos (such as the carnivorous oviraptor seen at right) and, on opening day, make their own discoveries at the on-site fossil dig. It runs for three months, so no need to scramble.

Monday-Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sunday noon to 4:30 p.m.; $6. About one hour 45 minutes from the Beltway at 4840 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, Del. 302-658-9111,http://www.delmnh.org.
