Travel back in time and discover what modern paleontology knows about the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods by exploring a series of dynamic displays featuring animatronic dinosaurs! Despite the fact these magnificent creatures lived millions of years before us, paleontologists believe dinosaurs share many things in common with humankind. From feeding to family dynamics, intelligence, or interpersonal relationships, Dinosaur Explorer examines the ways that environmental, biological, and behavioral circumstances influenced dinosaur daily life while posing the question – where do we see similarities in our world today?

Striking authentic casts and hands-on activities give visitors the ability to learn the science behind dinosaur adaptations and understand the connections humans share with our prehistoric predecessors.
