Soon they hit the Paleontological jackpot: The small pile of disintegrating, fossilized bones was bits of the first Tyrannosaurus Rex found at this site.  Kids climbed and played on the Inflatable Bounce and Slide Dinosaur, climbing up his back and sliding down his tail.  Guests created their own masterpiece a the Jurassic arts and craft stations complete with Jurassic Dinosaur Egg decorating supplies, Spin Art and Dinosaur Coloring Contest to name a few.
