Which animals came first? Sort model dinosaurs, reptiles,
and mammals into the time period in which they were first
found. Build your own diorama with backdrops that portray
the environment during the different times.
D i n o S i g h t
Lens systems positioned within a dinosaur “mask” let
visitors see through sauropod dinosaurs’ sideways-facing
eyes.
D i n o C o l o r s
Visitors decide what color to make a dinosaur by moving
hand-operated wheels. A dinosaur outline printed on clear
plastic allows mobile colored and patterned discs to seen as
the dinosaur’s skin color and texture.
S w i n g i n g S a u r o p o d N e c k
Long-necked dinosaurs (sauropods) kept their necks up with
the help of a long tendon. Visitors can feel the complexity
of controlling a long neck by operating this model neck.
Models of low bushes and tall trees invite visitors to help the
sauropod graze.
D i n o P h o t o O p
Visitors put their heads through an opening in a
Carnotaurus. Visitors ride on a tuxedoed Rebbachisaurus.
