OMSI -- Dinosaurs Revealed

 There is a fun dinosaur exhibit at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.

Due to construction, entry is by the planetarium. Despite timed entry, with the exhibit's popularity and the warm weather, social distancing was not well-observed within the line, though people were good about masks.

Once inside it got better, and there were clear markings leading you in the right direction.

Right at the entry (across from an ankylosaurus), there is a sign giving an idea of the times and sizes.

Then you go in for an informational film.

After that, the exhibit is self-explored.

Although the dinosaurs are animatronic, there is not constant movement. You forget, and then a tail waves or a head turns. It created a nice balance.

You could also see fossils and skeletons. I especially appreciated the maps showing the locations of various excavations, and pictures of the geological formations there now.

Although there is a lot of potential for over-stimulation, they do have hours designed for guests with sensory needs. You can find those times under the ticketing information.

This was the first exhibit I have seen to incorporate some of the new information on feathers.

I really appreciated that many of the displays had both adults and baby dinosaurs, making everything cuter.

Although we did not do it, the current Empirical Theater offering is Dinosaurs of Antarctica, which can make a nice pairing.

Dinosaurs Revealed is at OMSI through Labor Day, so in a little over two months...

...it will be extinct.
