Dinosaurs Come to the Minnesota Zoo

This summer, the Minnesota Zoo’s Dinosaurs! exhibit is sure to cause an uproar. Fifteen animatronic, vocal dinosaurs will give visitors an unforgettable experience of prehistoric life. See the Tyrannosaurus rex, Giganotosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and other Mesozoic era dinosaurs, in a landscaped environment on the Zoo’s Northern Trail.

Created by a group of designers, engineers, sculptors and artists, these fantastic, larger-than-life creatures will make visitors feel as if they’ve traveled back millions of years. Get inside one of the dinosaurs, the Stegosaurus, to see the internal workings of this robotic beast.

Dinosaurs! is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day at the Minnesota Zoo, located south of the Twin Cities in Apple Valley.
