Disclousure- I received free tickets to attend Extreme Dinosaurs. All opinions are my own. My girls and I were cordially invited to visit and review the Extreme Dinosaurs Exhibition that opened on Saturday March 29th, 2014.
We all have been looking forward for the past week to be one of the first people to attend to see the life size automatronic dinosaurs.
The exhibit is smack in the middle of Atlantic Station, a place filled with shopping and tourists. Extreme Dinosaurs is located on the second level and is inside a building along side BODIES The Exhibition.
We walked in and immediately to our left seen the first life-like dinosaur. The dinosaur was so realistic that my youngest daughter Michelle became scared and didn't want to go near it. I had to explain to her that the dinosaurs in the exhibit are not real and won't touch you. She eased her fears and continued through the exhibit.
Throughout the exhibit, we seen several different dinosaurs, skeletons, fossils, and artifacts. My daughters favorite parts were being able to make the dinosaurs roar and move by pressing different buttons, being able to dig for fossils, and Lauren enjoyed playing a game that ask different questions of what different dinosaurs do.
The staff were very helpful and made our experience very exciting. The exhibit really made you feel like you were alongside the dinosaurs.
Once we got to the end of the exhibit, we walked into the gift shop that had different types of dinosaur gifts and gifts from the BODIES exhibit. I had to make sure to purchase a shot glass since I collect them everywhere I travel to.
Before I made my purchase, the girls and I took a photo taken by one of the staff members so we could have a keepsake ($10) to remember our time there.
Overall, the Extreme Dinosaurs exhibit was fun and educational- I just wish it was a bit more to see. I just couldn't believe how realistic it was, from the dinosaurs and the landscape.
If you're in the Atlanta area, make sure to visit Extreme Dinosaurs Exhibition and Bodies The Exhibition. Extreme Dinosaurs is limited run so hurry and attend!
