Destination: Dinosaurs

Destination: Dinosaurs, presented by Reliant, is back at Dallas Zoo for one more adventure. As one of the country’s largest immersive dinosaur exhibits, Destination: Dinosaurs features more than 100 dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes. The experience truly transports you back in time for a trek among these Jurassic giants.

This year, you will find reminders throughout the Zoo that while it has been 65 million years since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, their descendants remain with us today – right here at the Dallas Zoo. From their closest living relatives to animals that share distinct traits with these long-lost prehistoric predators, you can explore the Zoo to learn more – and then walk among dinosaurs of all sizes at Destination: Dinosaurs.

Inside the Destination: Dinosaurs exhibit, guests can experience:
• Dozens of animatronic, life-sized dinosaurs that move, growl, roar, and even spit
• And more additional static dinosaurs to complete scenes throughout one of the largest immersive dino exhibits in the country
• Fossil dig boxes for bigger kiddos and toddlers alike
