Jocelyn Bell and her grandson William Nelson look at an exhibit of animatronic dinosaurs at Discover the Dinosaurs, a hands-on learning exhibit about pre-historic life, at the Chattanooga Convention and Trade Center Friday afternoon.
This weekend, more than 60 replicas of prehistoric life forms -- from apatosaurus to tyrannosaurus Rex -- are visiting the Chattanooga Convention Center. Hours are 10 a.m.-8 p.m. today and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $16 ages 12 and older and $11 children 2-11 and seniors 65 and older. There are additional charges for some activities.
For more information, call 756-0001 or visit www.discoverthedinosaurs.com.
Called Discover the Dinosaurs, the three-day traveling show features an array of museum-quality and animatronic dinosaurs that invite hands-on exploration. About a dozen dinosaurs in the exhibit come to life with sound and movement. These displays are anatomically proportioned to reflect paleontologists' documented findings. Some activities, such as a dino dig and scavenger hunt, are included in the ticket price. Others, such as triceratops and T-rex rides, inflatables, gem and fossil panning and mini golf, require separate tickets.
Average price for the additional attractions is $5 or less.
