Dino Island will make its exciting debut at the Miami Children’s Museum (MCM) starting June 5, 2010. MCM and Kokoro, the originators and innovators of museum-quality robotic dinosaurs, have collaborated to transform the Museum’s What’s New? Gallery into a prehistoric adventureland for the entire family. Visitors young and old can journey back 230 million years into the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to explore 2,500 square feet of custom sets that are home for nine lifelike, robotic creatures, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Apatosaurus, Triceratops mother and baby, Maiasaura family, and a suspended Pteradon. See them walking, feeding, roaring, fighting, hatching and caring for their young, all acting and interacting with captivating realism. Beware the volcano that erupts periodically with sound, lights and smoke, experience a murky swamp with bubbling water, and relax in a cave with a “fireside” reading nook area and much, much more!
Entrance to the exhibit which runs until January 2nd, 2011 is included in each regular admission to the Museum. Admission is $15 for adults and children, $12 for Florida Residents, free for children under 1 year and admission for Members is complimentary.
