Some rawr details 🦕

For starters, you’ll be able to observe animatronic replicas of around 70 dinosaur species at this 10-day local experience. You can find your favorite, whether it’s a pterodactyl or the famous T-Rex. The tour will also bring fun interactive activities, such as bounce houses and a dino dig for the kiddos. 🦖
