Jurassic NightLife

Go big or go home. Get ready for a NightLife of Jurassic proportions celebrating our newest exhibit, The World’s Largest Dinosaurs. Be one of the first to experience this mega-sized exhibit and meet the largest land animals that ever lived: long-necked and long-tailed sauropods (some of which grew to be longer than 150 feet! That’s some big dino energy). Plus, learn about paleoart, play dinosaur trivia, listen to dino-mite live music, and more.

Featured events:

• Jam out to colossal sounds from Awesöme Orchestra with a live 150+ person performance of the scores from dino-centric film favorites Jurassic Park and The Land Before Time.
   
• Dinosaurs have long piqued imaginations the world over - but how do we faithfully portray them and their ancient world? From coloration to scales and size, learn how Charles Nye and other paleoartists combine elements from the past with details of the present to bring dinosaurs back to life.
   
• Are you a true dino pro? Test your knowledge with trivia - hosted by Garret and Sabrina, the husband and wife team behind the popular weekly dinosaur podcast, I Know Dino.
   
• Let your inner ‘saurus ROAR and craft custom Jurassic wearable accessories with the Museum of Craft and Design. Use faux palm fronds, fossil and bone replicas, pebbles, and more to create a style that’ll never go extinct.
