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.

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.
