Dinos! will bring the ancient world of Dinosaurs to life at the Brookfield Zoo beginning May 22. The exhibit boasts 35 life-size dinosaur installations ranging from a terrifying T. Rex to a majestic Pterodactyl.
Visitors will also walk through a dino rib cage tunnel, climb a giant fossil, dig forarchaeological treasures, and snap plenty of epic photos.
Brookfield Zoo is also launching the one-of-a-kind “Ultimate T. Rex” virtual reality experience, featuring a spellbinding virtual dinosaur safari and 360 degree motion chairs.
Dinos! will also include two special events, a two-mile Dino Dash fun run on May 30, and the special Dinos After Dark pajama party on July 11.

“From awe-inspiring dinosaurs to unforgettable animal encounters, this season offers a dynamic mix of experiences for guests of all ages and interests,” said Brookfield Zoo representative Andrea Rodgers.
“Whether you’re visiting the Zoo to meet a new species, enjoy live entertainment or simply spending time together outdoors, Brookfield Zoo Chicago continues to create fresh opportunities for guests to explore our 235 acres and connect with wildlife and nature in meaningful ways.”
