What does the Zoorassic World exhibit feature?

The Tulsa Zoo promises guests a journey through time, which features 30 life-sized animatronics.

This includes dinosaurs from the Permian, Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, along with giant creatures from the Ice Age.

"Guests have the opportunity to see some of their favorites like Triceratops, Stegosaurus and of course Tyrannosaurus rex. And they get introduced to some new ones like the Mamenchisaurus that you see behind me that has a 30-foot-long neck as well as the Acrocanthosaurus, which is the state dinosaur of Oklahoma," Patrick Weisz, vice president of guest experience at the Tulsa Zoo.

Kids will also get the chance to dig for fossils.

How long is the exhibit at the zoo?

The exhibit will stay at the zoo until Labor Day, but the zoo said it tries to bring it back every few years so new generations get to experience it.
