Did you know that an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs to ever roam the Earth? It grew 40 feet long and stood at 15 feet tall at the hips. It would never be able to fit through the auditorium doors, but will arrive on-stage through the loading dock. The proscenium (frame of the stage) stands at 19 feet tall, big enough to show off the massive carnivore at full size!

The show is designed to captivate the imaginations of all. As the lights dim and the prehistoric world comes to life, audiences will be transported to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. The storyline is filled with adventure, allowing spectators to witness the dinosaurs’ behaviors and interactions.

For families with little explorers this experience runs for one hour with no intermission, followed by a complimentary meet and greet with the dinosaurs after the show.
