My daughters love dinosaurs – in fact, my whole family does! Thanks to shows like Dinosaur Train, they have already learned a lot about them, and are very interested in learning more. That is why when I heard about the Discover the Dinosaurs exhibit at The Oncenter in Syracuse, I just knew we had to take them.
From the moment we walked through the gates, my girls were in awe! Their faces lit up and they were (no lie) running around to check out all of the dinosaurs. My husband and I took our time and enjoyed reading all of the fact cards about each dinosaur. I learned a lot of things today! I think my youngest favorite dinosaur was the baby that popped out of the egg! My oldest liked the T-Rex – she said he wasn’t scary at all. Some of the dinosaurs had buttons that you could press to control their tail, arms, and even make them roar! My girls LOVED playing with these.
Besides the actual dinosaurs, the Discover the Dinosaurs exhibit had SO MUCH for the kids! After you see all the dinosaurs (and there are two that they can sit on for a photo opp!) there is a fossil dig! The girls had a blast with this. There were three sand tables set up with brushes where kids can brush the sand off dinosaur fossils. Beyond that there were large dinosaurs they could ride on, tons of bounce houses, and miniature golf. They also spun a wheel and were able to win a prize (they both won small dinosaur toys!).
For an additional cost you can mine for gold or get your face painted! They also have a small gift shop area with stuffed animals and other cool dinosaur things! It can get pricey, but if you plan to stay there most of the day, it will be worth it. Locals – Discover the Dinosaurs is here through Sunday, January 11th! Purchase your tickets by clicking here.
