Triceratops
Final week to enjoy this summer's dinosaurs! Prehistoric, animatronic dinosaurs roar, spit, and bellow as you trek through this exciting educational exhibit.
 
Get face-to-face with near life-size roaring, moving (and even spitting) dinosaurs like Apatosaurus, remote control Stegosaurus and even see a T. rex. Then check out all their living animal friends that survived extinction. It's Jurassic-sized fun for the entire family!
