What else will be in the Dinosaurium?



It doesn't look like much yet, but the Dinosaurium is going to be full of exciting, educational components! What's my favorite? Definitely the Scientists Shack! In the Shack you'll get to go on-site and learn what it takes to be a Paleontologist. You'll assemble skeletons, wrap bones and research your findings in the field laboratory. Just want to observe? Check out the live collection of prehistoric-looking fish and reptiles! You can watch trilobites flip for joy and create a cast of a fossil of your very own to take home! The Scientists Shack will be the place to be to find out more about dinosaurs of the past and cool, interesting scientific discoveries of tomorrow.

Test your skills now! Can you guess which part of the dinosaur skeleton this is?
