Uncover the mysteries of Earth’s greatest transformation on an epic journey through the final days of the dinosaurs when Expedition: Dinosaur - Rise of the Mammals, presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, roars to life at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) on May 23! This captivating traveling exhibit kicks off MODS’ Summer of Dinosaurs, a larger-than-life celebration filled with prehistoric adventures, hands-on discovery and dino-sized fun for the whole family. The exhibit runs through September 1, 2025.

Guests can expect to be awed as they encounter 12 gigantic animatronic dinosaurs and mammals including the mighty T.Rex, the armored Ankylosaurus and the curious Anzu brought to life with jaw-dropping movements and sounds. Guests can excavate fossils, create dinosaurs at the art spinner and test their skills in the Dino Operation Game. They can also dive into a 3D topography sandbox, scan fossils and explore a paleontologist’s field tent to uncover prehistoric secrets. Plus, guests can snap a selfie inside the mouth of a full-size T.Rex skull replica.
Adding to MODS’ Summer of Dinosaurs is the new, revolutionary HoloTheater, set to debut Dinosaur Discoveries: A Holographic Adventure, a stunning visual journey through 140 years of paleontology that brings dinosaurs to life in jaw-dropping fashion. This dynamic and immersive storytelling attraction, the first of its kind on the East Coast of the United States, uses three-dimensional holographic technology, precise laser-projection and video mapping to bring audiences up close and personal to life-size dinosaurs. Developed by BASE Xperiential, producers of mixed-media and live holographic entertainment and brought to market in partnership with MacGillivray Freeman Films (MFF), the world’s foremost independent producer and distributor of giant-screen films, the HoloTheater redefines museum storytelling offering an interactive learning experience that blends advanced holographic projection, panoramic visuals and spatial audio to engage and inspire guests of all ages.
