Dinosaurs:  Mesozoic Monsters

Museum guests will discover firsthand life beyond the mists of prehistory, when monsters walked the earth.  This huge, 6,500 square foot exhibit features moving, roaring, fleshed-out robotic creatures along with other hands-on activities to engage and enlighten visitors during their prehistoric journey.
 
See these fearsome, robotic creatures:
  • Triceratops with a moving baby and a third, joy-stick activated baby Triceratops, operated by Museum guests.
  • Allosaurus-one of the most ferocious predators of the Jurassic Period.
  • Stegosaurus-one of the most familiar dinosaurs.  Known for its huge protective spine armor and spiked tail.
  • Pteranodon-prehistoric flying giant, perched near its nest.
  • Ankylosaurus-it’s clubbed tail and spiked shell made it a very tough adversary for unwary predators.
  • Utahraptor-a large wiry hunter with a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and a deadly killing claw.
  • Tyrannosaurs rex, the king of the dinosaurs and Stegosaurus, in a rare presentation as babies.
  • Parasaurolophus, the giant duck-billed herbivore and a nest of hatchlings.
  • Dilophosaurus, the 20-foot long, crest-skulled carnivore of “Jurrasic Park” fame.
  • Deinonychus, a vicious raptor related to feared Velociraptor.
Other features of the exhibit include:  a Tyrannosaurs rex full size skull, a “dig a fossil” pit, a touchable Triceratops horn piece, a 9-foot long fleshed-out Torosaurus head sculpture and much more.
 
$5 for adults, $3 for children (ages 3-12) in addition to general admission.
