Dinosaurs Around the World: The Great Outdoors

Step into a prehistoric adventure at Lauritzen Gardens with Dinosaurs Around the World: The Great Outdoors, on view May 30 through September 7, 2026. Produced by Imagine, this immersive traveling exhibition transforms the garden into a journey across ancient Earth, where life-sized animatronic dinosaurs roar, move, and captivate visitors of all ages.
Grab your prehistoric passport and explore Pangea as you encounter incredible species from around the globe—from the mighty T. rex of North America to the powerful Spinosaurus of Africa and the duck-billed Hadrosaur of Antarctica. With more than a dozen dinosaurs to discover, each stop reveals how these fascinating creatures lived, moved, and adapted to their environments.

Open Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Included with paid garden admission. FREE for garden members.
