Description:
Celebrate Earth Day with prehistoric beasts from Down Under from ERTH Visual and Physical, Inc. The “Dino Petting Zoo” is an eye-popping visual feast that takes children and adults on an interactive, prehistoric journey through an incredible cast of dinosaurs that inhabited Australia millions of years ago.

Children will get up close and personal with these amazingly life-like creatures. Erth's menagerie is brought to life via various forms of human powered puppetry, from adorable baby Dryosaurs to the awe-inspiring Giant Allosaur. Children have the opportunity to help feed, water, and care for these prehistoric marvels with a simple lesson in animal husbandry.

Recommended for children in grades K-6. Due to the size and realistic nature of the puppets, children under age five may prefer to watch from afar or the comfort of mom or dad’s shoulders.

Note: Rain location for this event is the Commonwealth Ballroom in Squires Student Center
