Dinosaurs Roar at the Botanical Gardens

As part of the 20th anniversary celebration, we are "planting" full-sized dinosaurs in the Garden. This unique display features real-life settings for these giants, complete with numerous plants from ancient times. A 30-foot Edmontosaur and a 30-foot Parasaurolophus are featured in the collection. An 8-foot Africanus primitive crocodile, a 20-foot Allosaurs and several 8-inch cockroaches will also be highlighted. Real petrified wood specimens will allow visitors to touch the past. Educational information will be available for all visitors, as will activities designed specifically for children.
