Program Description
Event Details
Calling all dino enthusiasts! Examine fossils, exhibits, and dino skeleton replicas, like two-year-old T. Rex, Junior, in the Traveling Dinos Museum. Meet Vela the velociraptor ; come face-to-face with Mighty Al, a full-size allosaurus replica skull; measure your hand against a gigantic allosaurus footprint; and hold some of the coolest fossils ever, from a triceratops skull bone fragment to dinosaur coprolite (dino poo)!
Throughout the museum, enjoy incredible paleo art murals by legendary Disney and Paleo artist Phil Wilson.
After your discoveries in the museum, take a break in the Dinobrary, then head into the Discovery Den for more prehistoric play and activities with the Library, Hands On! Discovery Center, and Zoo Knoxville.
Of course, our adventure wouldn't be complete without head paleontologist, Mayor Jacobs.
Be sure to head home with your time travel passport to the Read City USA challenge, Stomp Back in Time!
