New dinosaur exhibit opens Thursday at Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Guests at the Kansas City Zoo will have a new attraction this summer — and it won’t be the animals behind the glass or the fence.
In partnership with Imagine, the zoo is bringing Dinosaurs Around the World to Kansas City from May 1 through Aug. 24.
“Every kid loves dinosaurs, so we are thrilled to be bringing them to the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium,” said zoo CEO Sean Putney. “We work hard every day at the Zoo to save animals from extinction, so dinosaurs are also a good reminder of the importance of our conservation efforts!”
Displays include the Tyrannosaurus rex of North America, the amphibious Spinosaurus from Africa, the duck-billed Hadrosaur of Jurassic Antarctica and more.
Life-size dinosaurs, including some that are animatronic, are located throughout the “topside” of the Zoo within walking distance from the front gate.
Dinosaurs Around the World is free with Zoo general admission and Friends of the Zoo memberships.
