From Albertosaurus to Triceratops, join us on a tour to search for some prehistoric friends. Meet the dinosaurs of our world-famous Dinosaur Hall on a dino safari! Participants will learn about the different types of dinosaurs found in Alberta, and see some of their incredible fossils. At each stop, we explore a different concept, like carnivores and herbivores, predators and prey, or plants and the ancient environment. This program uses hand polls, dinosaur active stretching, and audience participation to keep even the biggest dinosaur expert engaged! No additional downloads or material is needed to participate in this program.

Partway through our program, we will pause for a dinosaur stretch break. We will have the students stand up and mimic some dinosaur poses. This brief period of physical activity provides a break to our younger members and allows them to refocus their attention.
