Hunter the T-rex in the dino hall

In-person Dino Encounters is back, and our incredible Performing Arts team has put together an all-new show!

Meet some of our amazing puppeteers and get a sneak peek at the new show that takes audience members back to Age of Dinosaurs for a day in the life of Dakota, the Triceratops. Growing up is never easy, but being a juvenile Triceratops has its own special challenges: from big bothersome insects to encounters with a certain young T. rex for the first time in Dinosaur Encounters history. You'll have to see it to believe it!
