Dinosaurs at Dusk
Join us on a whirlwind, time travel adventure back to the epoch of the dinosaurs!
Dinosaurs at Dusk is a whirlwind time travel adventure back to the epoch of the dinosaurs! Propel yourself back through time to explore an Earth, teeming with Pterosaurs and ancestors of modern-day birds: the feathered dinosaurs!
Lucy, an aspiring future paleontologist, and her father, a science teacher, fly through the Triassic, Jurassic and Creteceous to soar with Quetzalcoatlus, escape from raptors, and ride behind Argentinosaurus while searching for clues to the origins of flight. As they meet various dinosaurs and pterosaurs, viewers will fly along with Lucy and her dad on a multitude of vehicles, including a paraglider, ARGO amphibious ATV, hovercraft, and kite buggy, each having features suited to a different type of terrain.
When time runs out they experience first-hand the cataclysmic “last day” of the dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs at Dusk is presented with open captions on the dome for all Thursday and Saturday performances, all performances for K-12 school groups and, upon request.
