Opening Week: Dinosaur Safari

The Dinosaur Safari returns to the Bronx Zoo, bringing with it a ¼-mile-long, walk-through exhibit covering more than 2 acres of forest and featuring more than 60 life-sized, animatronic dinosaurs and pterosaurs that move and roar in an accurate depiction of what life looked like in prehistoric times.

This year, 11 brand-new dinosaurs and pterosaurs make their debut, from the 43-foot Giganotosaurus, to a pair of Sphaerotholus, to the famous apex predator Tyrannosaurus rex encountering a Triceratopsand Ankylosaurus.

Take a walk through a life-sized Mamenchisaurus rib cage and see just how big these giants were when they walked the Earth. Crawl atop and explore the skull and ribs of a life-sized Sinraptor fossil. Take unforgettable photos “hatching” from larger-than-life Maiasaura eggs.

Get hands-on with an immersive dig site where guests can dig up ancient fossils and discover the very latest scientific discoveries about dinosaurs.
