Dinosaur World opens 12 new acres including animatronics museum display  10am
Dinosaur World in Plant City, Florida broke ground with a major new expansion in November of 2010. The unveiling
of this new expansion will be on Wednesday, February 29th at 10:00 am.   The project includes a 12 acre expansion
of everything dinosaur. The highlight of the expansion is a new 22,000 square foot addition housing the Prehistoric
Museum with the new animatronics display. The over 150 life size dinosaurs were impressive in the past. And now
with the new “live” exhibit, visitors can expect even more. Five animatronic dinosaurs have moved into Dinosaur World
to make one scene including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Pterodactyl and of course T-Rex.   In addition
to the new indoor Prehistoric Museum, the expansion covers even more prehistoric ground. Two new dinosaur themed
playgrounds were added. A 5,000 square foot gift shop offering everything from stuffed dinosaurs to a huge selection of
dinosaur books and educational items is now open. The Fossil Dig was a perennial favorite to guests because they could
sift through sand in search of authentic fossils to take home. Now there is a new, larger fossil dig area with a paleontological
feel about it. And of course new dinosaurs have moved in along the over one mile walk through the lush Florida landscape.
If you’ve visited in the past, you’ll notice the difference as soon as you approach. You’ll have to drive through huge new arches
stacked with dinosaurs transporting you into a prehistoric journey into the past. Through these arches is an impressive new
entry and plenty of new parking to accommodate the growing number of visitors and buses for educational groups.
