Through this exhibition, visitors will discover the dinosaurs, which lived in Alberta over 75 million years ago. They will learn about the scientists who are studying the dinosaurs, and how they are uncovering a 75 million year-old history. In order to better know the dinosaurs, the visitors must understand their environment:  how they lived, what they ate, what the flora resembled and who were the other animals. The children will like to play in the large dinosaur nest.  They will learn interesting facts about the family life of the dinosaurs.
