Take in This Dinosaur Show at the Science Museum in St. Paul

Kids just seem to love dinosaurs lately.  I don't remember those creatures being such a big deal when I was a kid.  The only thing that really had any dinosaurs in it were shows like the Flintstones and some other cartoon or Land of the Lost.  If you remember the Krofft Superstars shows.  And in that show, the dinosaurs looked so fake. I'm not sure we really thought that then, but now with all of the technology, the fake dinos look comepletely real.

DINOSAUR FASCINATION

Let's move to Jurassic Park when the fascination with dinosaurs really took off.  And now, everyone wants to know more about these ancient giant animals.  And there is a super cool way for you to see just about everything you could possibly know about a T-Rex.  And it's at the Science Museum of Minnesota Omnitheatre.  I love the Omnitheatre.  It's like the Sphere in Vegas, only in a 180, not a 360.

T-REX FILM

This T-Rex show has been open since the beginning of August, and will remain available until the end of January of 2026.

The film is narrated by Sam Neill, best known for his role in Jurassic Park. A cast of prehistoric characters round out the immersive trip back in time, including rex’s archrival, Triceratops; one the largest animals ever to take flight, Quetzalcoatlus; and the 25-foot long Sinraptor, a species that likely fed on early tyrannosaurs. 

NOT TOO LONG

If you want to head to the Omni theatre to watch this movie with the kids, the film is only 40 minutes long, so not too bad.  Most kids can handle that long of a film, any longer and the attention span might be depleted.

You can purchase and reserve your tickets online ahead of time and plan your trip down to the Science Museum and Omnitheatre.
