Open this idea →Before you can say hello, an 85-foot blue whale skeleton hangs over the entrance ramp and you both go quiet, which is statistically a lovely way to start a date. The Beaty packs two million specimens into one bright UBC hall: drawers of beetles, jars of deep-sea oddities, and taxidermy giving you side-eye. Beaty Nocturnal runs by donation the third Thursday each month. Closed Mondays outside summer, so confirm first.
