AuditoriumJoin Dinosaur Ranger Brooke in her mobile field lab for a training day packed with dinosaur fossils, facts, and fun.
Dinosaurs Wild proudly presents a live, interactive dinosaur show for kids and families. Meet three baby dinosaurs with larger-than-life personalities and discover what makes each one wildly unique. By the end of the adventure, all trainees will graduate from the Dinosaur Ranger Academy and earn their official Junior Dinosaur Ranger badge! Great for ages 4–10 (and fun for grown-ups too!) A baby dinosaur meet-and-greet follows each performance.
Space is limited. Tickets for both shows will be given out on a first come, first served basis at the Youth Desk starting at 9am the day of the show. Children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
We encourage you to carpool, bike, walk, or take public transportation, as library parking is limited.
