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.

Put your name in the hat for a chance to share a personal\, true story onstage. \nAct II – Featured storyteller Matt Davis \nAct III – Stories and Songs with Mamie Lew \n* * * \nABOUT OUR PERFORMERS:\nMatt Davis has performed at the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal\, JFL42 in Toronto\, Sketch Fest in San Francisco\, KLICfest in Malaysia\, UICF in Utrecht\, Netherlands\, the Bengaluru Comedy Festival in India\, the Top of the World Comedy Festival in Kathmandu\, Nepal\, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Edinburgh\, Scotland\, Fringe World in Perth\, Australia\, and many others. Matt has performed in several hundred cities across 60+ countries\, including many where he was the first international or U.S.-born artist to work with local scenes. \n“Mamie Lew is a one-of-a-kind artist from Aiken\, South Carolina\, recently moved back from Nashville\, TN. Also popular in the Austin\, TX music scene\, her free-spirited\, flower child style consists of influences from legendary artists like the beautiful Emmylou Harris to Townes Van Zandt. Her creative mind is like no other. She provides unimaginable lyric that could only come from one place\, and that’s deep within the heart: evidence and markings of a true artist. She’s a real-life dream weaver who can express the inner feelings of your soul in a line of a song\, the things you dream about and feel that no one could explain. Mamie can perfectly mold them into a masterpiece of a song. I can say from personal experience from writing with her\, that when she sits in silence for 15 minutes then says\, “I have an idea\,” you know it’s going to blow your mind. Get ready to hear one of the best writers I’ve had the pleasure to know personally and one of the most kind-hearted as well.”\n-Victoria Camp\, Sweet Tea Trio \nABOUT THE STORY SEVEN:\nHave you always wanted to tell a story onstage? Or do you prefer to listen while others share? Either way\, join us at the monthly storytelling variety show the Sunday Story Seven. The open mic is open to new and seasoned storytellers – just put your name in the hat for a chance to tell a 5-minute true tale.

Each year we focus on a bird in Alabama that is in need of conservation effort. \nThe species is in steep decline across nearly its entire range. It represents the general decline in grassland birds\, which are disappearing faster than any other group of birds in the U.S. The Black Belt is one of about six isolated populations in North America.\nJoin Alabama Audubon’s staff in Hale County\, as we go in search of these special birds along County Roads 9 and 10.\nField Trip Leaders: Tim Higgins / (251) 228-2856… — Event details: https://www.addevent.com/event/sz5q7jp7nrkz\n——\nPowered by addevent.com\nShare your next event with us!
