I'm so excited to share that Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas, will have dinosaurs again this fall! Dinosaurs Live! will be open August 31, 2024 through February 17, 2025. This exhibit brings these ancient creatures back to life, allowing visitors to let their imagination run wild as they travel back in time along a half-mile nature trail with ten life-size animatronic dinosaurs.

During Dinosaurs Live! Life-Size Animatronic Dinosaurs exhibit, these animatronic dinosaurs will move and roar and are showcased in a natural environment, providing an experience sure to captivate visitors. This exhibit will also offer interesting facts about both herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs.
