“Expedition Dinosaur” is a fully interactive exhibition that transports visitors to the Cretaceous Period 66 million years ago when some of the most iconic dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
With lifelike animatronic dinosaurs, visitors will meet fantastic creatures like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ankylosaurus, and Edmontosurus.
Interactive features of the exhibit, which was Developed by Stage Nine Exhibits, include a fossil scanner, asteroid experience, jeep explorer activity, and more.
“It’s been extremely heartwarming to see hundreds of families visit the center and be amazed by the wonder of dinosaurs — it literally has been a ‘roaring’ success,” said Ka‘iu Kimura, executive director of ‘Imiloa. “We’re thrilled to offer this fantastic exhibit and planetarium program for three more weeks at ‘Imiloa through April 15, and look forward to seeing new and returning faces.”
