Visit Dinosaur World to see its newest exhibit, "Doom of the Dinosaurs," opening July 1.
A new limited-time exhibit, “Doom of the Dinosaurs,” is opening July 1 at Dinosaur World. The immersive display combines scientific fact with visual effects as guests discover facts about how each dinosaur lived, hunted and evolved over time.
Guests of the park can meet “Stan,” a full-sized cast of one of the largest and most complete T rex skeletons, sold in 2020 for $32.2 million, along with 15 other life-sized casts of discovered dinosaur skeletons, authentic fossils and cast traces. The lifelike recreations were made from actual dinosaur fossils, many of which paleontologist John Hankla dug up in rural Wyoming. Other casts on display will include an edmontosaurus, triceratops and velociraptor (not nearly as formidable as the Jurassic Park movies make you believe).
“With the Doom of the Dinosaurs exhibit, we’re bringing the past to life in a way like never before, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss,” said Dinosaur World spokesperson Dallas Cotton. “Dinosaur World has an imaginative side and now we have the scientific side.”
That scientific side is located in an air-conditioned building, a perfect respite from Florida’s humid summer.
Recently Dinosaur World has seen a refurbishment of its exhibits as well as updates to the park, including the addition of a splash pad, a train and mini-golf.
Dinosaur World, located at 5415 Harvey Tew Road, is open daily from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Ticket prices range from $14.95 per person plus tax for children and $19.95 per person plus tax for adults. The exhibit is included with the purchase of a regular admission ticket.
The dinos will be on display at the theme park until September 30.
“Dinosaur World is a relaxing day that’s not that far of a drive, you get to bring your own lunch, you get to spend time with your family and children and it’s educational,” said Cotton. “It’s a relaxing day, you can go at your own pace, it’s a perfect way to have fun and still learn something.”
