From Aug. 14 to Sept. 1, the Louisville Zoo will bring the world of dinosaurs to life with DINOPALOOZA. This event showcases huge, scientifically accurate animatronic dinosaurs that move, breathe and roar just like they did millions of years ago.
Visitors will walk through scenarios that show everything from early species to the huge 35-foot brachiosaurus. Paleontologists planned everything so that you may see dinosaurs fight for their lives, care for their young or look for food.
People of all ages can end their tour with some hands-on action, like digging for fossil castings in the interactive pit. And to get the best picture, step inside the huge mouth of a Tyrannosaurus dinosaur.
DINOPALOOZA is included with regular zoo admission, making it an unforgettable summer outing for the whole family.
Experience life-size, scientifically accurate dinosaurs in motion this August at the Louisville Zoo.
