Step back in time and discover life beneath the ice in Antarctic Dinosaurs.

Uncover the history of the world’s southernmost continent and the unique species that have called it home in this interactive, family-friendly experience!

Rare fossils, touchable casts and interactive models bring the past to life while showcasing Antarctica’s distinctive dinosaur species. Examine a reconstructed forest and encounter the early plants and animals that flourished in the once-green environment. Experience the extraordinary work that goes into digging for fossils with real equipment and a recreated quarry. Learn about the important research taking place in this frigid landscape and how it informs future changes to the world’s climate.
