Meet and interact with Terry the T-Rex and his other realistic animatronic dinosaur and puppet friends, hear a story, and dig for fossils!

This program includes interaction with the dinosaurs and photo ops, a fossil dig, fossil table display, and a story reading.

Dinosaurs you will meet:

Terry the T-Rex: is a 7-foot tall and 12-foot-long T-rex that will wow everyone with his realistic features and movements. He loves to interact with kids and even lets them feed, walk, pet and take photos with him!

Ruby the Baby Raptor: Our adorable baby raptor puppet is perfect for getting down to the kids’ level and letting them pet, feed and play with her. She’s very friendly and curious, and likes to make cute noises.

Pickles the Parasaurolophus: Pickles is our friendly neighborhood herbivore, with his unique crest and big bulgy eyes, the kids will love feeding him lettuce and learning more about this fascinating animal!

Kota the Triceratops: Our three sit-on triceratopses are great for letting the kids bounce on, cuddle and feed with their delicious leaves. They’re very gentle and lovable, and they make cute sounds including a burp if you feed it too much!

Presented by Dinosaurs Arise.
