What were dinosaurs really like? How did the eating
habits of of dinosaurs help create flowers? During this expedition students will enter a
dinosaur habitat by way of a beautifully handpainted mural, come face-to-face with a
life-size Triceratops, and hear the call of Parasaurolophus as they travel back in time.
The children will see the sensational workings of a dinosaur stomach, visualize the time
line of the dinosaur epoch, and get the inside scoop on the adaptive strategies of these
amazing creatures in this action-filled presentation. Children will view a
work of animation with over 30 animated 3-D dinosaurs and participate in a challenging

and fishing for food. |
