A meeting with the giants of the past
The Dinos Alive exhibition offers a spectacular reconstruction of the prehistoric world, where more than forty life-sized animatronic dinosaurs come to life before your eyes. They move, emit sounds, and create the startling illusion of a real face-to-face encounter with these vanished creatures. From the famous Tyrannosaurus to the majestic Stegosaurus, each species is staged with impressive realism.
A journey full of discoveries and immersive experiences
Dinos Alive immerses you in a pedagogical and sensory universe, designed to amaze both young and old. Among the highlights, a 360° underwater projection room takes you deep into a prehistoric ocean, to encounter extinct marine species, all within a visually stunning environment.
Technology enthusiasts will also enjoy the brand-new virtual reality zone. This fully immersive experience, accessible from age six, offers a chance to explore a metaverse inhabited by incredibly lifelike dinosaurs. It’s a unique way to delve into the history of life on Earth.
The exhibition also places great emphasis on knowledge sharing. Interactive learning stations are set up along the way to help visitors better understand the world of dinosaurs, their habitats, their behaviors, and the key stages of their extinction. These playful modules combine entertainment with science in an accessible and engaging way.
Special attention for younger visitors
Children can explore paleontology in a dedicated area called "Petits Experts". Here, they’ll take part in fossil digs, learn to identify different species, and even try their hand at dino-training activities. It’s an educational approach designed to spark curiosity while having fun.
Throughout the visit, a mobile app accompanies guests. By scanning QR codes along the route, visitors can unlock extra content, scientific anecdotes, and additional resources. A modern and interactive way to extend the experience beyond the exhibit.
At the end of the journey, families can capture memories with souvenir photos on the dino rides. Children leave with activity books, games, coloring pages, and posters. All these activities are included in the ticket price, except for the virtual reality experience.
