Journey back 250 million years and come face-to-face with extraordinary dinosaurs from South America, Africa, and Madagascar.
Now open at the Science Museum of Virginia, “Ultimate Dinosaurs” features colossal skeletons, real fossils, and hands-on experiences that let you step into the world of these ancient giants.
You’ll discover how the breakup of Earth’s supercontinent — aka, Pangaea — triggered an explosion of evolutionary diversity, giving rise to entirely new dinosaurs with fascinating and unique adaptations. Sounds like something straight out of “Jurassic World.”
From the tiny, agile Eoraptor to the massive, ferocious Giganotosaurus, explore 16 fully mounted dinosaur specimens and watch them come roaring back to life with augmented reality.
Plus, don’t miss the fun lineup of dino-themed events happening all summer:
- Minds of All Kinds | Saturday, July 12
- Science on Tap: Dino Night | Thursday, July 24
- Sunrise Science: Synchrotron Science | Monday, Aug. 25
- Workshops and challenges in The Forge
- Experiences in the Art Lab, Eco Lab, and Science on a Sphere®
Psst… The museum will stay open until 8 p.m. on Friday nights, so you’ll have more time to enjoy all the Science Museum has to offer.
