A prehistoric adventure for the entire family!
Enter our time machine and journey back 230 million years into the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Visitors will explore 2,500 square feet of custom sets for nine lifelike, robotic creatures, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Apatosaurus, Triceratops mother and baby, Maiasaura family, and a suspended Pteradon. Walking, feeding, roaring, fighting, hatching and caring for their young, Kokoro dinosaurs act and interact with captivating realism.
Sets—designed and built by MCM staff—include a periodically erupting volcano with sound, lights and smoke, a swamp with bubbling water, cave with a “fireside” reading nook area, and more. In addition to fulfilling the fascination children have as they shudder with excitement at the majesty of these creatures, families will experience dinosaur habitats, unearth mysteries at a fun fossil dig station, and create unique pieces of art at rub stations.
The exhibit will entertain and educate, as children will learn about scale through an interactive light display, experience the magnitude of dinosaurs’ size with a life size footprint, learn the difference between meat and plant eating dinosaurs, and discover the evolution of dinosaurs into birds, their closest living descendents.
