SUMMARY:Dino Safari – March 4 to November 1
DESCRIPTION:Your Birmingham Zoo is excited to announce Dino Safari will stomp\, roar\, and rumble into the Zoo beginning March 4\, running through November 1\, 2026. This larger-than-life prehistoric adventure will feature some of the world’s biggest and most scientifically accurate robotic dinosaurs roaming throughout the Zoo grounds. \nAs part of this immersive experience\, guests can also enjoy the new VR movie\, Dinosaur: Evolution\, transporting audiences 65 million years into the past. \n       \nA Prehistoric Adventure Awaits \nTravel back in time and encounter roaring\, breathing giants scattered throughout the Zoo to create an authentic dinosaur safari feel. Highlights include: \n\nTwenty three dinos including one of the tallest dinosaurs ever created — a Brachiosaurus standing 35 feet high; a 40-foot-long Tyrannosaurus rex alongside its baby; and a Triceratops the size of a food truck.\nTwo dinosaur nests – one with three Oviraptor babies and another with five Maiasaura hatchings.\nAn 8 ft. by 8 ft. dig pit featuring a variety of dinosaur fossils.\nA massive Tyrannosaurus rex photo op area in the Zoo’s Plaza\n\n“The dinosaurs are scattered throughout your Birmingham Zoo to give an authentic dinosaur safari feel as guests enjoy their visit\,” said Chris Pfefferkorn\, President and CEO of the Birmingham Zoo. “The Dino Safari experience features 23 full-sized dinosaurs uniquely created under direct scientific supervision. Unlike other robots\, these dinosaurs move\, breathe\, and roar\, appealing to guests of all ages. Dino Safari and the Dinosaur VR film are entertaining while teaching important conservation messages.” \nDino Safari was created by world-renowned dinosaur authority Don Lessem\, founder of Dino Don\, Inc.\, and advisor to Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park. Lessem has led excavations and reconstructions of some of the world’s largest meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs from Patagonia. \n“We have gone to great lengths to ensure the most accurate dinosaur robots in the world\, and dinosaur fans love them\,” said Lessem. \nDino Safari is included with regular Zoo admission. \n  \nNew VR Experience: Dinosaur: Evolution \nResponding to the growing demand for immersive experiences\, Dinosaur: Evolution expands the reach of Immotion in museums\, science centers\, zoos\, and aquariums worldwide. The movie is available at the zoo for an additional charge. \nSet deep in the Hell Creek Formation at the end of the Cretaceous Period\, the film takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through the rise—and dramatic fall—of Earth’s most legendary creatures. Featuring scientifically grounded storytelling and innovative visuals\, the experience blends education with spectacle. \n“Our goal with Dinosaur: Evolution goes beyond delivering an unforgettable experience\,” said Rod Findley\, President & CEO of Immotion. “We’re blending science and spectacle to create engaging content that supports the missions of science museums and centers—where curiosity meets credibility.” \nThe VR experience was created in collaboration with leading paleontologists\, including Phillip Manning (University of Manchester; Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi)\, who also narrates the film. From feathered Dakota raptors to towering Tyrannosaurus rex\, every detail reflects the latest scientific research. \nMore than just a visual thrill\, Dinosaur: Evolution encourages reflection on evolution\, extinction\, and humanity’s connection to life on Earth—drawing timely parallels to modern climate challenges. You may view the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/1097701935 \nImmotion’s award-winning VR experiences are now featured in more than 125 locations worldwide. \nDino Safari will run from March 4 to November 1 and is included in the price of admission to your Birmingham Zoo when it is open. Closed Mondays and Tuesday except for major holidays. \n      \nADOPT-A-DINO  \nJoin in the fun: Adopt-A-Dinosaur today and display your name on “your” dino for the run of the exhibit! This is ideal for companies\, organizations or families and will be seen by hundreds of thousands of visitors.

SUMMARY:Community Drum Jam
DESCRIPTION:Feel the Beat: Community Drum Jam Brings Unity Through Rhythm at City Walk BHAM \nOver two decades ago\, musician and facilitator\, John Scalici\, made a bold decision—to step away from touring with bands and instead channel their energy into something far more personal and impactful: community rhythm. What began as a desire to escape the grind of the music industry evolved into a passion for bringing people together through the power of drumming. \n“I wanted the focus to be on empowerment\, inclusion\, motivation\, and inspiration through rhythm\,” he explained. And that’s exactly what the Community Drum Jam at City Walk BHAM has become—a place where rhythm serves as a universal language that transcends barriers. \nA Jam for Everyone \nThe Community Drum Jam (CDJ) is exactly what the name suggests—a communal\, interactive drumming experience open to all. It’s not a performance or a class\, but a shared moment where people from every background\, age group\, and ability level gather to connect on a basic human level through rhythm. \n“Rhythm is a UNIVERSAL language\,” he emphasizes. “Once you know where the ‘pulse’ is\, you can interact with it and the other people in the circle.” \nFrom gently guiding participants to shifting grooves to keep things fresh\, the facilitator works behind the scenes to ensure each session flows smoothly—even though it may “look” easy. \nRooted in Birmingham \nAlthough John has led drumming events around the city for over 20 years\, the Community Drum Jam at City Walk BHAM has been thriving for the past two. Originally attempted as a year-round event\, the jam now takes place seasonally—spring through fall—with a particularly magical December session held beside the Christmas tree. \nNo Experience Necessary \nWhether you’ve never touched a drum or you’ve been playing for years\, all are welcome to join. The sessions are entirely free\, and John brings at least 20 drums for anyone to try out. People are encouraged to bring their own instruments if they have them\, but it’s not a requirement. \nSpecial attention is given to young children\, who are invited to explore softer instruments in the center of the circle with the support of a parent. It’s a safe\, joyful space to simply “hit things” and begin developing a love for rhythm. \nA Creative\, Healing Space \nMore than just music\, the drum jam is a form of expression and even healing for many. Participants include dancers\, hoopers\, painters\, writers\, and more—all drawn to the rhythm in their own unique way. \n“People come for different reasons\,” the facilitator shares. “For many\, this is a healing experience—a release of emotion\, a chance to connect and be accepted.” \nWhether someone is battling illness\, navigating personal struggles\, or just looking for a creative outlet\, the drum circle offers support\, connection\, and joy.

This larger-than-life prehistoric adventure will feature some of the world’s biggest and most scientifically accurate robotic dinosaurs roaming throughout the Zoo grounds. \nAs part of this immersive experience\, guests can also enjoy the new VR movie\, Dinosaur: Evolution\, transporting audiences 65 million years into the past. \n       \nA Prehistoric Adventure Awaits \nTravel back in time and encounter roaring\, breathing giants scattered throughout the Zoo to create an authentic dinosaur safari feel. Highlights include: \n\nTwenty three dinos including one of the tallest dinosaurs ever created — a Brachiosaurus standing 35 feet high; a 40-foot-long Tyrannosaurus rex alongside its baby; and a Triceratops the size of a food truck.\nTwo dinosaur nests – one with three Oviraptor babies and another with five Maiasaura hatchings.\nAn 8 ft. by 8 ft. dig pit featuring a variety of dinosaur fossils.\nA massive Tyrannosaurus rex photo op area in the Zoo’s Plaza\n\n“The dinosaurs are scattered throughout your Birmingham Zoo to give an authentic dinosaur safari feel as guests enjoy their visit\,” said Chris Pfefferkorn\, President and CEO of the Birmingham Zoo. “The Dino Safari experience features 23 full-sized dinosaurs uniquely created under direct scientific supervision. Unlike other robots\, these dinosaurs move\, breathe\, and roar\, appealing to guests of all ages. Dino Safari and the Dinosaur VR film are entertaining while teaching important conservation messages.” \nDino Safari was created by world-renowned dinosaur authority Don Lessem\, founder of Dino Don\, Inc.\, and advisor to Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park. Lessem has led excavations and reconstructions of some of the world’s largest meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs from Patagonia. \n“We have gone to great lengths to ensure the most accurate dinosaur robots in the world\, and dinosaur fans love them\,” said Lessem. \nDino Safari is included with regular Zoo admission. \n  \nNew VR Experience: Dinosaur: Evolution \nResponding to the growing demand for immersive experiences\, Dinosaur: Evolution expands the reach of Immotion in museums\, science centers\, zoos\, and aquariums worldwide. The movie is available at the zoo for an additional charge. \nSet deep in the Hell Creek Formation at the end of the Cretaceous Period\, the film takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through the rise—and dramatic fall—of Earth’s most legendary creatures. Featuring scientifically grounded storytelling and innovative visuals\, the experience blends education with spectacle. \n“Our goal with Dinosaur: Evolution goes beyond delivering an unforgettable experience\,” said Rod Findley\, President & CEO of Immotion. “We’re blending science and spectacle to create engaging content that supports the missions of science museums and centers—where curiosity meets credibility.” \nThe VR experience was created in collaboration with leading paleontologists\, including Phillip Manning (University of Manchester; Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi)\, who also narrates the film. From feathered Dakota raptors to towering Tyrannosaurus rex\, every detail reflects the latest scientific research. \nMore than just a visual thrill\, Dinosaur: Evolution encourages reflection on evolution\, extinction\, and humanity’s connection to life on Earth—drawing timely parallels to modern climate challenges. You may view the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/1097701935 \nImmotion’s award-winning VR experiences are now featured in more than 125 locations worldwide. \nDino Safari will run from March 4 to November 1 and is included in the price of admission to your Birmingham Zoo when it is open. Closed Mondays and Tuesday except for major holidays. \n      \nADOPT-A-DINO  \nJoin in the fun: Adopt-A-Dinosaur today and display your name on “your” dino for the run of the exhibit!
