Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs are our most popular exhibits. From a modest 60 animatronic dinosaurs in 2004, our collection today comprises more than 400 dinosaurs across some 60 different species. Our animatronic dinosaurs not only help boost attendance wherever they go, they present a great opportunity to discuss the threat of extinction and the importance of wildlife conservation. Below are just some of the dinosaurs from our collection.
