Stomping, roaring robotic dinosaurs come alive in an all-new exciting exhibit from Kokoro, the inventor of robotic dinosaurs. See your favorite dinosaurs: the mighty T-Rex and the gentle Apatasaurus mother and baby.  Watch a Corythorsurus mother tend her nest filled with hatching eggs and see the head-butting Pachcephalosaur. Soaring Above is the bird-like Pteranodon.
