SUMMARY:Dino Adventures
DESCRIPTION:New for 2024\, something BIG is coming to John Ball Zoo! That roar you hear in the distance may sound a little different than the Lion or Tiger you normally hear during your visit. It’s a dinosaur! Starting in July\, over 20 life-size dinosaurs will make their way to the Zoo’s Forest Realm during Dino Adventures. Hiding in the forest\, guests may encounter a Velociraptor\, a Triceratops\, and even a T-Rex! These large and scientifically accurate animatronic dinosaurs will display real behaviors\, such as mothering\, feeding\, preying\, and more. Interactive elements like a fossil dig pit and T-Rex photo op will engage guests by providing a hands-on experience.   \nJoin as we journey through the ages\, uncovering how the traits of prehistoric dinosaurs have influenced the animals we see today. Through this interactive exhibit we’ll come together to celebrate our living world and the significance of conservation. During Dino Adventures\, John Ball Zoo will aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world\, its history\, and the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect both living species and those yet to come. The Zoo will be transformed with life sized dinosaur replica robots that make noise and move. Guests can embark on a dino safari through the Zoo’s Forest Realm and learn about the dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth.
