YOUR SCIENCE CENTRE HAS GONE PREHISTORIC!
Experience a close encounter with some of the most extraordinary creatures to walk the Earth.
Dinosaurs - The Exhibition is your chance to get up close with life-sized animatronic dinosaurs and skeleton casts that will bring you back in time, way back, to the Mesozoic Era (252-66 million years ago), the time of the dinosaurs, which includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods.Hear the dinosaurs roar, see them move, and compare how you measure up!
It's a roaring good time as you discover over 10,000 square feet of dinosaurs from around the world!- Immerse yourself in the life-like sights, sounds, and ultra-realistic movements of favourites like the herbivore Triceratops and the “king of the tyrant lizards,” the Tyrannosaurus rex, along with many others, even newly discovered dinosaur species!
- Stand next to the massive 65-foot actual size Diplodocus skeleton replica to appreciate the sheer scale of these amazing creatures!
- Check out an Edmontosaurus skull cast, a type of large, plant-eating, duckbilled dinosaur specimen first discovered in the Drumheller area. It was named after the Edmonton Formation, the geologic layer of rocks where it was found, but, since then, many other Edmontosaurus fossils have been found right here in Edmonton!
Plus – you’re going to dig it!
Embark on your own paleontological journey and try your hand at a detailed and realistic excavation with real paleontological tools, such as brushes, awls, and picks.In the Tots Explorer Tent, little ones can assemble fun dino puzzles, hear stories, analyze fossil evidence, and enjoy many other activities! And with two dig sites, children will love the hands-on fun of uncovering fossil skeletons.
Dinosaurs - The Exhibition is enormous fun for all! Big and small. Don't miss it.
And to get the total prehistoric experience make sure you see Dinosaurs of Antarctica in the IMAX Theatre! Combo rates (including regular popcorn) available!
