"Discover the Dinosaurs" invites people of all ages to take a step 65 million years back in time.

"Discover the Dinosaurs," produced by Blue Star Productions, is designed to provide kids and adults with a unique and educational way to explore the mystery of pre-historic life. The hands-on exhibit allows visitors to get up close and even touch these pre-historic replicas.
