Lighting:

The venue lights need to be dimmed, if not turned off,
to properly allow for each Dinosaur Scene to provide a
dramatic effect for our customers. We use a number of
LED lights from the floor and trusses to light each
Dinosaur Scene and exhibit pathways. Our skilled show
crew will work closely with each venues team to
achieve this desired lighting effect.
