Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice™, transports families back to the Cretaceous Period (145 – 65 million years ago), the time when dinosaurs last lived on earth.
Children will go face-to-face with the prehistoric world and meet dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes. The exhibit, created for children ages 3 – 10, will feature two distinct environments and a variety of activities. A Field Research Station allows children to step into the role of paleontologist by uncovering fossils with brushes and creating drawings of the dinosaur environment using fossil rubbings and tracings.
The steamy “Land of Fire” connects visitors with prehistoric home of the Triceratops and T-Rex. Children can circle the land in insect costumes and buzz through a volcano with oozing lava. Work through a swampy bog and identify an ecosystem of animals and plants. No coats are needed for a trip across the “Land of Ice” where visitors meet two dinosaurs, a Troodon and Edmontosaurus, who made their homes in the cold climate of Alaska. Activities include: climbing rocky steps, breezing down an icy slide, and hoping across stepping stones in an icy river.
This exhibit will be open to the public May 18-September 7, 2024.
Along with this prehistoric exhibit, the Museum will have regularly occurring live science demonstrations themed around Dinosaurs, Fire, and Ice. The Grout Museum of History and Science’s Norris Corson Family Planetarium will also be in on the fun with frequent Dinosaur and Paleolithic Planetarium shows.
Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice™ was created by Minnesota Children’s Museum. This project is made possible by a grant from the David B. Jones Foundation.
