For more than 25 years, dinosaurs have been a popular summer exhibit at the Virginia Living Museum. This year, as part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the museum will open a permanent outdoor Dinosaur Discovery Trail.
This permanent exhibit will showcase 16 of the majestic animals that ruled our earth for more than 150 million years. Visitors will walk through the woods to see realistic one-third to full-size dinosaurs from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The dinosaurs will range in size from a mini Ankylosaurus to a 16-foot-tall Brachiosaurus. There will be a baby T. rex. photo op and a half-size T. rex.
The trail will also include a Paleo camp and dig pits for amateur paleontologists, including one with an actual whale specimen from Hampton Roads, and displays of dinosaur and Ice Age fossils. Read more…
