Opening Memorial Day weekend, Flamingo Gardens presents a new gallery exhibit: Dinosaurs Among Us. Learn about the modern-day dinosaurs we call birds, and how they evolved from their prehistoric ancestors. The air-conditioned Gallery will house a short film loop showing “Great Transitions: The Origins of Birds,” as well as a Dino Dig Pit for kids to discover fossils and possibly take one home, and a photo station.
In the Garden, explore Dinosaurs Around the World: The Great Outdoors, a captivating outdoor exhibit featuring 13 animatronic dinosaurs that come to life with incredibly realistic sound and lifelike movements. Travel back to the time before the continents as we know them existed, when lush landscapes covered Africa and Antarctica was green! Grab your prehistoric passport and discover how land bridges, volcanic activity, and plate tectonics allowed dinosaurs such as T. rex, Spinosaurus, Hadrosaur, and more to disperse all over the globe, giving each of today’s continents its own unique selection of these giant reptiles.
Dinosaurs Among Us in the Gallery will be open from 9:30am-4:30pm daily. Dinosaurs Around the World: The Great Outdoors in the Gardens, is open daily to the public from 9:30am – 5:00pm with a special Quiet Hour every Tuesday, from 9am-10am, for guests with sensory sensitivities.
