Prehistoric Forest
Discover Dinosaurs in the Wild
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.
Please note: Exhibits on the south side of Mission Creek—including Prehistoric Forest and the Sukinanik'oy Garden of Chumash Plants—will be closed from the afternoon of Friday, November 1, through the morning of Sunday, November 3. Thank you for your patience while we set up, celebrate, and clean up after the Mission Creek Beer Festival on November 2.
