Dinosaurs: A Journey Through Time³
Travel back in time to the Mesozoic Era, where you’ll meet seven moving, roaring, robotic dinosaurs in a lifelike environment. You can also stand in the footprint of a giant duckbill dinosaur, take the controls of the Pneumoferrosaurus — “Air and Iron Lizard” — to see how animatronic dinosaurs work, and explore the Mesozoic world with interactive exhibits, real fossils, dioramas and more.

Tyrannosaurus Rex “tyrant lizard king”

• Late Cretaceous-70 MYA
• 50 ft long
• Carnivore

At 50 feet long, T. Rex was one of the largest meat eaters ever to walk the Earth. Its large tail was held upright to counterbalance its heavy neck and jaws. T. Rex had bird-like hind feet and hollow bones. The Tyrannosaurus Rex Robot in Pacific Science Center’s robotic dinosaur exhibit is half-size.
