“Dinos Among Us” is coming to Zoo Miami on February 22, 2025 with more than 20 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs and displays that look like the real animals that once existed! Prepare to see these extinct creatures come back to life in an extraordinary outdoor Jurassic adventure. Open daily during normal zoo operating hours only through September 14, 2025, this exhibit will take zoo guests back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

            Among the dinosaurs on exhibit, guests will be thrilled to discover favorites like a fully grown “spitting” Dilophosaurus and baby, fast moving carnivores named after its two crests, and of course, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, whose name means “Tyrant Lizard King” due to its size and power. Along the journey, guests will find not only an adult T-Rex, but also a nest of freshly hatched newborns and a baby T-Rex that seems as vicious as a grown one. Other dinosaurs may be easily recognized by visitors, including the Brachiosaurus, a long-necked creature that could have measured up to 50 feet tall and a Triceratops with its three horns and parrot-like beak. Three impressive predators include the Titanoboa, a very large primitive snake predator, Megalania that looks like a giant monitor lizard and a Terror Bird, a flightless predatorial bird.  

            Guests may be amazed to find dinosaurs they never knew, including some with fascinating features, like the Pachycephalosaurus – whose name means “thick headed lizard.” Its thick skull was surrounded by blunt bony knobs and spikes, making it stand out from the other dinosaurs.

            “We believe this exhibit will bring many visitors to the zoo since our fascination with these creatures has outlived them.  Many people know more about dinosaurs than animals that are still present today.  We invite visitors to feed their dinosaur fixation by visiting Dinos Among Us at Zoo Miami,” said Zoo Miami Exhibits Manager Cristina Heredia. 

This exhibit is nothing short of amazing. Guests will be surrounded by several other dinosaurs, posed in their natural state, including a couple of Coelophysis, very fast runners with curved necks that resemble long legged bird, a Deinonychus slashing through its fallen prey and another watching on as guests pass by.  On display will also be an impressive Allosaurus, Suchomimus and an interactive photo opportunity with a Pachyrhinosaurus.

Guests will also be able to enjoy:

• Heredia's Dino Research Station - From 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Witness history come to life! This is the perfect prehistoric spot for families to explore dinosaur adaptations, learn fun fossil facts, experience interactive games, and feel real and replica dinosaur artifacts! Kids will even get to walk away with their own keepsake (while supplies last).

• A Dino Discovery scavenger hunt where for $10 guests can search for all of the dinos to redeem a dino stuffed animal, while supplies last.

There will be so much to see, learn and experience at this one-of-a-kind exhibit by Billings Productions, a leading provider of animatronic dinosaurs.  You may have to come more than once to take it all in! Dinos Among Us is included with Zoo admission and is open from February 22 to September 14, 2025 Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
