It’s been roughly 65 million years since a brontosaurus, T-Rex, or other now-extinct dinosaurs freely roamed through the woods in what is now the North American continent, but this summer in South Carolina they are back with a vengeance. And the one place in the whole state where you can see them (through August 7, 2021) is at Roper Mountain Science Center, a family-oriented science academy in Greenville.

Go online and reserve your timed entry tickets for this event and then RUN, don't walk, over to Greenville to get in on the action.

Although the dinosaurs on the Dino Trail are life-size and life-LIKE, this event is perfectly suited to the smallest members of the family. If you have a little one who is crazy about dinosaurs, then this is the place to be!
