Perot Museum’s Ultimate Dinosaurs Traveling Exhibition Debuts June 23
A dino-mite invasion makes its Texas’ debut June 23 at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The traveling exhibition, Ultimate Dinosaurs, puts guests eye to eye with an incredible array of prehistoric dominators that thrived only in the southern hemisphere. With crazy claws and crocodile-like faces that would have intimidated a T. rex, these unique dinosaurs were funky and fierce! Presented locally by Highland Capital Management, Ultimate Dinosaurs features full-sized skeletons, plus life-sized video projections of the creatures, interactive games, augmented-reality viewers and more. Presented in English and French (with a Spanish audio guide available), the exhibition runs June 23, 2018-Jan. 6, 2019, and requires a surcharge for members and non-members. Member preview days are June 21-22.
Based on groundbreaking research from scientists around the world, Ultimate Dinosaurs reveals rarely seen species from the other side of the world that evolved and thrived in South America and Africa.
Visitors can feast their eyes on 17 fully articulated dinosaur casts, more than a dozen prehistoric specimens, augmented reality to experience the dinosaurs in the flesh, touchable fossilized dinosaur specimens, hands-on play spaces featuring miniature dinosaur dioramas and more.
