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. To Adopt -a-Dino and support your Zoo\, contact Kristin Martin at (205)909-4560 or kmartin@birminghamzoo.com.

SUMMARY:Leanne Morgan: THE TIME OF OUR LIVES TOUR
DESCRIPTION:  \nLeanne Morgan rose to prominence with her debut Netflix special I’m Every Woman\, showcasing her signature blend of relatable humor and Southern charm. Since early 2023\, the special has become Netflix’s most-viewed stand-up special from a female comedian globally\, cementing Morgan’s breakout success after more than 25 years on the road building a devoted fanbase. \nThat momentum quickly translated to the stage. In the first six months of her Just Getting Started tour\, Morgan sold more than 100\,000 tickets\, headlining prestigious venues including the Chicago Theatre\, American Airlines Arena\, and Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium in her native Tennessee. Her seamless transition from intimate comedy clubs to large-scale theaters and arenas affirmed her status as a major force in stand-up. \nMorgan’s second Netflix special\, Unspeakable Things\, premiered on November 4\, 2025\, debuting at #1 worldwide. The special earned a 2026 Critics’ Choice Association nomination for Best Comedy Special and won a 2026 Gracie Award\, further cementing her growing industry recognition. It marks the second of multiple planned hour-long specials for Netflix.\nA native of rural Tennessee\, Morgan has built her career on finding humor in the everyday family life\, marriage\, and the unexpected twists of getting older. Her warm\, candid storytelling and sharp observational style continue to resonate with audiences across generations. \nIn September 2024\, Morgan released her debut book\, What in the World?!\, published by Random House / Convergent\, which quickly became a New York Times bestseller. Expanding her creative footprint even further\, she stars in her own Netflix sitcom Leanne\, created in partnership with acclaimed producer Chuck Lorre. The 16-episode\, multi-camera comedy premiered July 31\, 2025\, and debuted in Netflix’s Global Top 10. Inspired by her stand-up\, the series follows a woman rebuilding her life after an unexpected divorce\, blending humor and heart in equal measure. The show is currently in production on its second season. \nMorgan’s rising influence has been widely recognized across the industry\, including being named The Hollywood Reporter’s 2025 100 Most Powerful Women in Entertainment. She also appears in the Amazon Prime Video Feature You’re Cordially Invited\, starring alongside Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon. \nDespite her busy schedule\, Morgan remains grounded\, cherishing precious moments with her husband\, three children\, grandbabies\, and beloved beagle in Knoxville\, Tennessee. \n
