Dinosaur Journey Museum

Dinosaur skeletons and animatronic dinosaurs, too. Has what may be the world's largest Triceratops skull as well as a Fruitadens, the smallest known dinosaur. Also here: a working paleontology lab, a simulated earthquake ride, and a sandbox where you can make your own dinosaur tracks. A truck parked out front has been customized to resemble a horned dinosaur.
