Dinosaurs in motion was an interesting and fun exhibit, albeit expensive and short of duration. My family found the quotes by John Payne and the facts interesting. The interactive part of the display was fun and engaging, although younger children may find it difficult to manipulate the sculptures. The exhibit is made up of 14 metal dinosaur skeletons with artist's illustrations of what the animal may have looked like. Despite us taking our time, reading the interesting facts and even going back to double check on the geographic location of where the animals roamed, we completed the entire exhibit in 35 minutes. At the end of the exhibit, there is a play area with interesting toys which entertained our 9 year old daughter for a while.
Pros: educational, interesting, interactive.
Cons: expensive considering the limited number of exhibits. I would not recommend it for families with kids who cannot read.
