BIGGER Than T-REX!

March 8th- June 1

Step into an ancient world, over 95 million years ago, where nothing looks like the Earth we call home.  You’re now in the time of GIGANOTOSAURS.  At 46 feet long and weighing as much as 8 tons, he’s the largest carnivorous dinosaur to ever walk the planet!  That’s bigger than the average school bus, and about 2 or 3 tons heavier than a T-Rex! 

In Bigger Than T-Tex,! find “tons” of other amazing dinosaurs from the Triassic to the Cretaceous, in this one-of-a-kind exhibition!  See vividly colored, full sized and fully fleshed out robotic dinosaurs that you control by the push of a button.  Other dinosaurs like GIGANOTOSAURS are viewed as giant fossilized skeletons (reproduced) so that you can observe the skeletal and body structures of these amazing animals that dominated the planet for millions of years.  Each dinosaur is displayed in an amazing realistic diorama setting that captures its unique habitat and transports your senses into their ancient worlds!

Bigger Than T-Tex! the Exhibition also includes:

• Authentic Dinosaur and other period Fossil displays.
• Lots of great educational content on the lives of these amazing creatures presented in a family-friendly way.
• Hands-on children’s activity areas like the Dig Site and Bone Yard.
• The Photo Spotlight area where you can take your own dino pics.
• Optional guided school and group tours of the exhibit by reservation.

Also, you won’t want to miss out on seeing Dinosaurs Alive!, the newest Giant Screen  film showing at the same time in the OMNI Theater.  Dinosaurs Alive! follows some of the top modern paleontologists as they un-earth new dino finds from around the world.  Through realistic computer animation, these dinosaurs come to life, full size, on the giant OMNI Theater screen!
