Big Bones in Dinosaurs Unearthed Exhibit at Cincinnati Museum Center
Starting Friday through September 7, visitors to the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal will be the first to see a new traveling exhibit that focuses on feathered dinosaurs, called Dinosaurs Unearthed.
The exhibit includes 24 life-size, moving, roaring dinosaur models — from the 14-inch-tall, feathered microraptor to the 22-foot-tall, 55-foot-long apatosaurus outside Union Terminal. Eight have feathers, and visitors can control four non-feathered models themselves with the push of a button and the flip of a switch. The exhibit is accompanied by the Omnimax film "Dinosaurs Alive!," which also runs through Sept. 7.
The 15,000-square-foot exhibit will be the largest traveling dinosaur exhibit to come to Greater Cincinnati. Although there have been other exhibits that included feathered dinosaurs, producers believe Dinosaurs Unearthed is the first to feature life-size models.
The exhibit include pieces of fossil discoveries from Big Bone Lick State Park. These fossils will appear in the display case at the entrance to the museum in this brand-new installation.
Digital Dinos: You will also be able to view interactive online exhibits about Big Bone Lick and feathered dinosaurs at the museum’s website. Surf from your home or try your hand at Smartboard technology with the Museum Center’s digital dinos while you’re there. On-location browsing requires museum admission.
Museum admission: $8 adults, $7 seniors 60 and older, $6 for children 3-12.
