WEST PALM BEACH — It’s been three long years since dinosaurs invaded the South Florida Science Center. Now, the life-size animatronic Triceratops, Raptors, Tyrannosaurus Rex and others are back and bigger than ever. Some have more teeth and some even have feathers. “Dinosaur Invasion” is the largest exhibit the South Florida Science Center has ever hosted and gives visitors an up-close and personal encounter with some of the world’s most unique and recently discovered dinosaurs. On a recent trip to the science center, one young visitor gave the exhibit two thumbs up. “They are so cool,” said Elizabeth Dunkelmann-Hon, 3, of Palm Beach Gardens. She was there with her mom, Jennifer Dunkelmann-Hon, who said her daughter was quite taken with Tyrannosaurus Rex. “He’s cool, he roars,” Elizabeth said of the 40-foot-long carnivore. Although the exhibit had been open less than a week, this was already her second visit. The exhibition runs through April 21 and covers every continent so visitors can discover where dinosaurs lived
and how they arrived. Visitors will also have the chance to learn about geological formations, tectonic plates and the latest paleontological research. “Dinosaurs are always popular,” says Science Center CEO Kate Arrizza, who first saw the exhibit in Jacksonville and thought it DINOSAUR INVASION / PAGE 19
