    Dinosaurs in Austin. They were here 65 million years ago, and now, thanks to Lost World Studios's renowned paleontologist, Guy Darrough, they're back in a fabulous exhibit in our own Zilker Botanical Gardens. Travel back in time as you come face to face with thirty life-like dinosaur models of every shape and size.  From the fierce, 33-ft. Daspletosaur (cousin to the T-Rex) to a herd of tiny carnivores — Compsognathus (Compies in the movie, Jurassic Park) — these scientifically accurate dinosaur models have traveled to botanical gardens and nature centers around the country. A rare treat for the whole family.

    Of special interest: Throughout the 3-month exhibit, AAGC and PARD will host special events (see Events) that will include fun and educational activities for the entire family, lectures about dinosaurs, entertainment, dino crafts for the kids, tours of the exhibit trail, and a dino dig for fossils. Watch for more news to come!
