DINOSAURS ALIVE! TO INVADE GALVESTON THIS SUMMER

GALVESTON, Texas. -This summer, Galveston Island visitors can get away as far back as the age of the dinosaurs. Moody Gardens will host the exhibit Dinosaurs Alive! daily now through August 16, bringing guests the thrill of a world never known by mankind while learning what it was like to exist millions of years ago.

Moody Gardens will be transformed into a prehistoric stomping ground with more than 20 life-like animatronic dinosaurs, including a full-size Tyrannosaurus Rex, a baby T-rex and its nest. The exhibit Dinosaurs Alive! takes guests on a Jurassic adventure, as they become part of a rescue team sent back in time to search for a missing plane and its crew. The team will wander through curving paths lined with tropical foliage, discover full-grown and baby dinosaurs and gather clues to assist in the search mission. Other dinosaurs include a Megalosaurus, Compsognathus and a Deinonychus attack scene.

Admission to Dinosaurs Alive! is $5.95 per person. Dinosaur-themed films will also be shown at the Moody Gardens IMAX? 3D, 4DSpecial FX and Ridefilm Theaters. Moody Gardens is open daily including holidays. For more information, please call 800-582-4673 or visit www.moodygardens.org.
