They're Back

Dinosaurs are back! Sightings of these prehistoric giants have been reported in the wetlands at Roger Williams Park Zoo. Have these ancient creatures taken up residence once more, or have they been lurking undetected for the past 65 million years? From April 6 through August 10, visitors are invited to journey back to the Jurassic era and embark on an unfor-gettable adventure in the Zoo’s latest exhibit, “Return of the Dinosaurs,” where they can step beyond the safety of the Zoo’s familiar paths and venture into uncharted, wild territory, where colossal brachiosaurs tower overhead, ve-lociraptors stalk through the brush, and a fearsome T. Rex awaits to greet the boldest explorers. Discover how scientific understanding of dinosaurs has evolved over time—from groundbreaking research in paleontology to their enduring legacy in popular culture. Whether you’re a lifelong dinosaur enthusiast or a curious adventurer, “Return of the Dinosaurs” offers an unforgettable, immersive experience for guests of all ages. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to come face-to-face with some of history’s most incredible creatures.
