Prehistoric Forest

Discover Dinosaurs in the Wild

Please note that our dinosaurs are currently roaring but not moving due to a technical difficulty we are working to repair. Thank you for your patience!

Take a stroll back in time and come face-to-face with nine dinosaurs on the banks of Mission Creek: five giant adults and four little juveniles! Meet a Tyrannosaurus rex, the formidably armored Stegosaurus, high-crested Parasaurolophus, and Triceratops and Euoplocephalus mamas with their young. These hand-crafted moving animatronics spark the imaginations of dinosaur-lovers of all ages.

Prehistoric Forest is included with Museum admission. Members are always free. This exhibit is not ADA accessible; visit our accessibility page for more information.

On January 8, the dinosaurs will be muted and immobile from 3:15 to 5:00 PM for a nearby private event. Want to host your event here? Visit our facility rentals page.
