Why You Should Visit
This summer special exhibition turns a giant cardboard maze into a jungle, where visitors explore and take on a series of missions. A steel-frame dinosaur skeleton and themed displays bring the prehistoric world to life. Hands-on workshops such as dinosaur painting and diorama-making run on select days. As an indoor venue, it's a weather-proof outing well suited to families and elementary-school kids hunting for summer-vacation project ideas.
