Discovery Place in Uptown Charlotte is launching a new exhibit this week featuring some of the biggest creatures to ever walk our planet. The exhibit will showcase dinosaur bones infused with cutting-edge technology in a large-scale interactive exhibition.
Visitors can meet 16 fully articulated specimens from the Southern Hemisphere, brought to life like never before. Highlights include:
- Giganotosaurus, perhaps the largest land predator ever.
- Suchomimus, a spinosaur measuring 33 feet long and weighing over 6,600 pounds.
- Amargasaurus from Argentina, an herbivore with a distinctive row of double spines.
- Eoraptor, a bipedal dinosaur with both serrated and flat teeth.
- Rapetosaurus, which may have been up to 60 feet long as an adult.
The new exhibit will also feature a ‘Discovering Dinosaurs’ section for children. This area allows kids to explore the incredible wildlife that roamed the Earth millions of years ago through playful learning. They can find out about flying, swimming, and stomping animals that thrived during prehistoric times.
Visitors will imagine what dinosaurs might have looked and sounded like, learn where they lived and how they adapted, and compare these prehistoric beasts to their modern relatives.
