We hear it takes about an hour to explore the space. Expect to be greeted by a Brachiosaurusjust like the one who welcomed Dr. Ellie Sattler, Dr. Alan Grant, and Dr. Ian Malcolm to the original Jurassic Park in the 1993 flick. 🦕

There are also interactive science labs, digging sites where you can uncover fossils, and a glimpse at the food chain’s top dog — the T-Rex. Oh, and you can also pet a baby dinosaur, no biggie.
