Get Up Close and Personal With Jurassic World in South Florida

If you and your family loved Jurassic World, then they will love the new “Dinosaurs Around the World” exhibit this fall at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium.

T-Rex and all of his friends will be stomping into West Palm Beach from  from November 1, 2015 through April 16, 2016.

These dinos will literally be “moving” into the venue, as the cutting edge exhibit looks like something out of a Spielberg film, featuring more than a dozen life-sized animatronic dinosaurs.

The life-like replicas will roar, swing their tails and scratch their claws to the delight of tourists and locals all season.

Some are so large that they have to be displayed outside the museum.

DAW_ “Olivia Warford, age 5, stares into the eyes of a life-size Triceratops. The Triceratops is one of more than a dozen animatoric dinosaurs that will roar, swing their tails and scratch their claws to the delight of tourists and locals from November 1 – April 16, 2016 at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium.


“Dinosaurs Around the World” invites guests to travel back to an age when dinosaurs ruled the planet – no time machine required.  In addition to the pack that will be on display like a prehistoric zoo, the exhibit also features a multi-layered narrative, fossils, authentic casts, cutting-edge research and immersive design elements.  The resulting story is a clearly painted picture about the prehistoric planet and its early inhabitants.

“This is the biggest, most realistic dinosaur exhibit around,” says Lew Crampton, CEO of the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium. “Our reptilian friends are back – and we are glad to have them as our guests!”

“’Dinosaurs Around the World’ is a blockbuster exhibit,” continued Crampton.

“Currently it is breaking all attendance records at its initial venue, the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. We are incredibly excited as these dinosaurs are as true to life as science can make them.”

According to Crampton, “Dinosaurs Around the World” isn’t just world-class entertainment. Guests embark on a dinosaur adventure to learn about an Earth very different from today. Lush landscapes covered Africa, greenery was the norm in Antarctica and dinosaurs were the biggest and baddest beasts around.

The exhibition will be on display through April 16, 2016.”

“Dinosaurs dominated our world for more than 150 million years, inspiring the imaginations of young and old alike,” he continued. “The immense size of many dinosaurs, their otherworldly appearance and their place in earth’s prehistory all contribute to their mystique. While dinosaurs may appear to us as monsters out of science fiction stories, their fossilized bones prove that they really lived. Our desire to see these animals up close — to see them move and to hear them roar — is not only a powerful attraction, but a totally unique, hands-on educational experience.”

Local Kid Scoop along with other Science Center guests can grab their prehistoric passport to Pangea.

The exhibit will help them discover how plate tectonics, land bridges and volcanic activity allowed dinosaurs to disperse to all corners of the globe, giving each of the seven continents its own unique selection of these giant reptiles.

DINO SCOOP

During their 172-million-year reign, dinosaurs adapted into a variety of forms due to the conditions of the areas in which they lived. The exhibition includes examples such as the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex of North America – like the one Crampton helped find — the swift Velociraptor of the Gobi Desert, the massive herbivore Amargasaurus from the tropical jungles of South America and many others.

 The exhibition poses questions to the visitor about the reign of the dinosaurs and helps them to discover how dinosaurs lived on each continent, how they interacted with each other, how geography impacted their behavior and diets and what the continents were really like at the time.
