Description
From vibrant creatures and sweet-smelling plants to everyday materials you encounter without a second thought, Death by Natural Causes reveals the unexpected risks hiding in plain sight. Through authentic specimens, immersive environments, and hands-on interactives, you’ll uncover the science behind what can harm us directly or indirectly. Along the way, you’ll learn the real differences between poisonous, venomous, and toxic, while long-held myths and urban legends are put to the test with surprising, evidence-based truths.
The experience brings you face-to-face with both the exotic and the familiar—mushrooms, snakes, spiders, and even common foods—creating powerful moments of recognition, curiosity, and discovery. Equal parts thrilling and educational, Death by Natural Causes challenges you to question what you think you know, confront your fears, and see the natural world in an entirely new way. Step inside—but tread carefully… you may never look at what’s beneath your feet the same way again. Get your tickets now for Death by Natural Causes in Sacramento!

- Wonderfully morbid and informative! I didn’t know what to expect from a little exhibit but it was super well put together. What a great addition to Sac!
- An exceptional exhibit! Full of interesting facts and details. Interactive and entertaining. If you're the type of person that likes to read all the details, I recommend at least two hours for this exhibit because it packed with so much useful and interesting facts and information. I highly recommend it!
- The installations were interesting, and I had a good time. However, it didn’t flow together all that much — some of the sections felt very disconnected from one another, and some of the information felt like random fun facts related to the theme. The place also could’ve benefited from a few benches or seats. I think all of this could be excused if the entry was 10 dollars instead of 20. 15 would be pushing it, and 20 feels like too much for what the exhibit is. It’s not bad by any means, but 20 pushes it down to 3 stars.
- fun and informative 👍
- Utterly an amazing experience. Me and my date had so much fun!
- It was awesome. Way more than what I expected. There was so much I knew and so much I learned about during our visit. My family said we would definitely be back very soon!
