This time, they're not joking around. The San Antonio Zoo will display more than a dozen prehistoric creatures this summer, starting Memorial Day weekend.
One of the ways this unusual feature ties into a zoo's mission is by presenting a different way to think about how wildlife evolves. “This unique zoo experience is a way for us to educate our guests about how dinosaurs adapted and thrived for millions of years,” said Chuck Cureau, Director of Public Relations and Promotions.
Zoorassic Park will feature such species as the triceratops, spinosaurus, omeisaurus, and the infamous tyrannosaurus rex! Standing at 18 feet tall, the t-rex should be a popular attraction for a summertime selfie.
Other aspects of the zoo's dino experience are two fossil dig sites and a host of themed dining options, such as the churro-saurus.
Zoorassic Park opens Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and ends August 26. This event will be offered daily and is included with standard zoo admission. For an upgraded experience, guests can dine with dinos and take a special photo with one of the dinos.
