Visit To DinoTrek Exhibition

On the 21st March 2013, we visited DinoTrek exhibition at the Petroleum Museum, Canada Hills.  Junior 3 were doing a theme on 'Dinosaurs' whilst Junior 2 were doing a theme on 'Animals' in March.  We spent about 2 hours at the exhibition.  The dinosaurs were a sight to behold - they were huge, have movable body parts and can roar (frightened some of the children).  There were lots of interactive games for the children  too.  At the end of our visit, the staff organised an interactive session for the children.

The mechanical parts in the dinosaur that makes the moving parts.  The staff explained that the dinosaur is just a robot but that did not help soothe the frightened kids.

The children recording the name of the dinosaur and looking at the nest of eggs.  Some of the eggs have hatched and they could see the baby dinosaurs.

This is the entrance to the 'FIERCE' dinosaurs - T-Rex, Velociraptor, etc.

Stegosaurus

Facts about Stegosaurus

Spinosaurus

This T-Rex scared the wits of the children  (these girls were an exception)  ~ it looked so real,  so mean and it can really ROAR!

Another 'fierce' dinosaur, Velociraptor.

A special place set up to show fossils of the dinosaurs in the sand.
