Dinosaurs are Invading The Durham this Summer!
Explore the fact, fiction and fossils of over 150 million years of dinosaur history in The Durham’s summer exhibition, Dinosaur Revolution, a totally interactive experience set up within a maze! Travel through time to complete three Mesozoic missions as you explore the fascinating prehistoric world of dinosaurs. Themed activities are designed to reveal intriguing facts and unravel mysteries about the 150 million years that dinosaurs ruled Earth – from mimicking the ways dinosaurs walked or flew to discovering clues about their extinction from fossils like a paleontologist. Created by Minotaur Mazes, Dinosaur Revolution blends learning and play inviting visitors to investigate all things dinosaur…ultimately unearthing a shocking discovery: dinosaurs may not be extinct!
Dinosaur Revolution is supported locally by Kiewit Companies Foundation, Valmont Industries, Inc., Richard Brooke Foundation, Parker Family Foundation, Verhalen Family Foundation and Children’s Hospital & Medical Center. Media support provided by KETV
