On account of mass extinction, they’ve never been seen, heard, or touched, however their prehistoric prevalence permeates pop culture—they may be resting in pieces, but the dinosaur legacy has stood the test of time. From The Flintstones to Friends (props to Ross Geller for paleontology publicity), these humble lizards truly have a coming-of-age tale to tell, so head to Dino Safari: A Walk Thru Adventure at Horseshoe Las Vegas.
Enter the exhibit as a V.I.P.—very important paleontologist—for a special swag bag and grab your passport to Pangea for a scavenger hunt through dinosaur domains. As you travel through time and space to a land where dinos loom large, interact with mystery boxes to discover ancient artifacts, test out your scoping skills with binoculars, and take a turn on the sauropod slide for a breath of fresh air.
After avoiding asteroids and learning about these rare reptiles’ impressive track record, head to kids quarry to regain some fossil fuel—you’ll need it for all the activities! Experience a virtual reality rollercoaster with Rex or ride like a ranger on the back of a triceratops. Chaperones can kick back and relax as the kids get down and dirty in the sandbox, digging for petrified remains or join the action in the art studio, creating dino doodles destined for the projection screen. The best part? This self-paced adventure offers all the time in the world to explore, but we’ve learned that Jurassic times call for Jurassic measures, so swing by the gift shop to celebrate your survival with a souvenir! dinosafari.com
