Educational, immersive and interactive, Dinos Alive showcases some of the largest dinosaurs to ever walk the planet, including the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex, Apatosaurus and the fierce Spinosaurus. These are only a few of the scores of dinosaurs that visitors will discover in this unparalleled dinosaur experience, which was named a CNN Must See Attraction.
