Bask in April flowers as you enjoy these extended hours! Plus, our Dinos in the Desert exhibit is going extinct at the end of the April; Enjoy this exhibit without the daytime heat.

Experience the thrill of dinosaurs brought to life throughout our grounds! This is a unique opportunity for the whole family to explore, learn, and immerse yourselves in a world where dinosaurs roam. Join us for a journey back in time with giant, lifelike animatronic dinos roaring all around! This prehistoric exhibit is here until April 27, 2025. What will you discover as you explore? Dinos in the Desert is included with Museum admission.
