“That would be so cool, imagine if these came alive.”
The exhibition features augmented reality experiences, a digital dinosaur track encounter, digital interactives and a pop-up bar to be held on selected Friday nights.
Minister for Culture and the Arts David Templeman said the exhibition includes hands on activities for kids.
“There’s crawl tunnels that children can crawl through the vegetation and get an up close experience with some of these life-size dinosaurs,” Mr Templeman said.
Dinosaur Discovery will run from September 20, 2017 to January 28, 2018.
