Dinos Rule! - San Francisco Zoo & Gardens

Guests will experience 21 realistic, scientifically-informed dinosaur models based on fossil evidence. Each individual dinosaur uses advanced robotics to enable natural movements like blinking, breathing and tail-swaying. Themed to evolution and extinction, the dinosaurs will be grouped by era and geographic origin, and in dynamic interactions displaying behaviors like nesting, hunting and scavenging. In addition to the life-sized dinosaur displays, the exhibit will offer interactive activities such as a 5 ft. tall dinosaur egg photo op, a 6 ft.-long Sauropod footprint and a 4-ft. long Tyrannosaurus Rex footprint, a 15 ft. long climbable dinosaur sculpture, and a giant “dig pit” with dinosaur fossils.
