"Running Nov. 1 to Jan. 31, the exhibit will feature a broad array of reptiles, ranging from the 6-foot-long Australovenator to a nearly 30-foot-long Tyrannosaurus rex. Guests can see the dinosaurs on two walking trails. One is a short loop designed primarily for young children, which will feature a little more than half of the dinosaurs, while the other is a full jaunt around the garden."
"On weekends, South Coast will run a separately ticketed, eight-passenger tram dubbed the "Pangaea Express" that will include a tour of the exhibit with dinosaur and garden facts. The goal, in part, is to highlight the so-called "living fossils" of the South Coast Botanic Gardens. "Specifically, we have a Dawn Redwood that we're going to be talking about a bit," says Claire Griswold, the garden's learning and engagement manager. "We have a really great collection of Ginkgo trees as well, and Sago palm cycads.""
""Dinosaurs Around the World" is a touring exhibit from creative experiential firm Imagine Exhibitions. It was developed in conjunction with paleontologist Gregory M. Erickson, currently a member of the faculty of Florida State University. Griswold hopes the exhibit is a way to marry some of the wonder and technology of a theme park with the natural awe of an 87-acre botanical garden."
South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes Estates will present Dinosaurs Around the World from Nov. 1 to Jan. 31, featuring 13 lifelike animatronic dinosaurs that move and some that roar. Exhibits range from a 6-foot Australovenator to a nearly 30-foot Tyrannosaurus rex and are displayed on two walking trails, including a short child-friendly loop and a full garden jaunt. Weekends will offer a separately ticketed eight-passenger "Pangaea Express" tram with dinosaur and garden facts. The exhibit highlights living fossils such as Dawn Redwood, Ginkgo trees and Sago palm cycads and was developed with paleontologist Gregory M. Erickson.
