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!

The inaugural Yonder Walls Mural Festival will bring more than 25 new murals to life on October 17\, 2026 at Urban Supply in Birmingham’s Parkside District\, showcasing artistic talent across Alabama and beyond. \nFounded by local muralists Sean Gilder and the team behind Bendy Knees Design Co.\, Jordan Thompson and Levi Levinson\, Yonder Walls Mural Festival was created to spotlight Alabama’s artistic talent and create meaningful opportunities for local creatives. Others serving on Yonder Wall’s board include Hunter Renfroe\, a local developer; Lydia Walker\, school and community manager at the Birmingham Museum of Art and local artist; and Erica Chisolm\, senior urban designer for the City of Birmingham and local artist. \n“We [Bendy Knees Design Co.] have spent the last four years on a mural festival committee out of Oklahoma City\, so we’ve experienced first-hand what a festival at this scale can do for a community\,” stated Levi Levinson\, Co-Director of Yonder Walls Mural Festival. “Too often\, life-changing artistic opportunities go to artists from outside the state\,” Levinson continued. “We want to elevate the talent that’s already here.” \nFree and open to the public\, the festival will take place from 12pm to 8pm at Urban Supply\, a walkable outdoor entertainment district near Regions Field. In the week leading up to the event\, selected artists will work on-site to create large-scale muralsthroughout the development\, culminating in a full day of celebration and community engagement on Saturday\, October 17. \nOn the day of the event\, attendees can watch artists put the finishing touches on their murals while enjoying a full lineup of performances and activities. The festival will feature musicians and performers\, alongside local food trucks and vendors. Organizers are also partnering with area conservancies to highlight endangered species native to Alabama\, further connecting art with community awareness. \nLeading up to the festival\, the organization will host monthly creative meetups\, workshops\, and panel discussions designed to foster collaboration and professional development among Birmingham-area artists. \n“If you look at cities that are thriving culturally\, they make a deliberate effort to support public art and give artists space to leave their mark. Birmingham is already known for food\, music\, medicine\, and tech; Yonder Walls is about making sure public art is part of that same momentum\,” stated Sean Gilder\, Co-Director of Yonder Walls Mural Festival. \nFor those interested in getting involved\, artist application dates will be announced on their Instagram\, and you can find volunteer applications on their website. If you’d like to help support the festival\, donations can be made on the website\, helping bring more color\, creativity\, and community to Birmingham. \nFor more updates\, artist announcements\, and event details\, follow Yonder Walls Mural Festival on Instagram\, or by visiting their website at yonderwallsmuralfestival.com.
