Get ready for a prehistoric adventure in this interactive exhibit. Discover real-world fossil specimens and learn all about the amazing dinosaurs that once roamed our planet.
Visitors can explore the bones and fossils of giant creatures that once roamed the earth.
What to Expect:
Dinosaurs: Fossils Exposed invites you to explore the bones and fossils of iconic giants like the towering T-Rex and the majestic Triceratops. You'll have the chance to see and even touch six full dinosaur skeletal molds, along with additional molds of skulls, arms, legs, eggs, footprints and even the femur of one of the largest land animals!
As you enter, you’ll be greeted by a life-sized reconstruction of a fierce Tyrannosaurus rex and the gigantic Brachiosaurus, providing a true sense of scale and wonder.
Examing the footprints of five different dinosaurs gives us clues about how they moved and behaved.
What You’ll Do and Learn:
- Dig Like a Paleontologist: Use real paleontologist tools to uncover dinosaur bones at our dig site. Learn how fossils are discovered and what they tell us about the past!
- Meet the Dinosaurs: Get up close to full-size replicas of dinosaurs, from the powerful Triceratops to the speedy Velociraptor. Discover fun facts about their habits and habitats!
- Examine Real Fossils: Look at preserved dinosaur bones, footprints, and fossilized eggs. Learn how these fossils help scientists understand how dinosaurs lived.
- Dino Dimensions: Compare your height to the impressive 6’ 1” femur bone of an Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus). Discover what it was like to be one of the largest land animals!
Use tools commonly found at a dig site to search for dinosaur bones.
