Expedition Dinosaur: Rise of the Mammals

-
4th Floor Terrace

Journey through one of the most dramatic turning points in Earth’s history—the extinction of the dinosaurs and the rise of mammals. Combining life-sized animatronics, immersive environments, fossils, and interactive experiences, this exhibition explores prehistoric life before and after the mass extinction event 66 million years ago. Visitors will encounter creatures ranging from Tyrannosaurus rex and Quetzalcoatlus to early mammals such as Loxolophus and Triisodon, while hands-on activities like the “Fossil Dig,” “Fossil Scanner,” augmented reality sandbox, and “Dinosaur Draw Alive” encourage exploration and discovery for visitors of all ages. The exhibition’s centerpiece, the immersive “Asteroid Experience,” uses 360-degree light and sound effects to recreate the catastrophic event that reshaped life on Earth and ushered in the age of mammals.

Through paleontology, evolution, and interactive discovery, Expedition Dinosaur: Rise of the Mammals®, created and distributed by Stage Nine Design, invites visitors to explore how the end of one era transformed life on Earth and paved the way for another.
