HEAR THEM ROAR! A 3-NIGHT DINO EVENT THIS WEEK!
WALKING WITH DINOSAURS
Monday - Wednesday
7:00 - 9:00pm Nightly
Step into the world of six iconic dinosaurs and uncover their gripping stories of love, loss, and survival. Blending the latest discoveries from across the globe and cutting-edge CGI, experience these magnificent giants walking the Earth once more. WALKING WITH DINOSAURS tells the dramatic story of an individual dinosaur whose remains are currently being unearthed by world-leading dinosaur hunters. Thanks to scientific advances, experts can determine how these prehistoric creatures lived, hunted, fought, and died more accurately than ever before.
