Visitors can now see more than 25 life-size, life-like dinosaurs at Riverbanks Zoo.
At the front, you'll see a giant crate where a dinosaur has escaped.
"It was like Jurassic Park," 10-year-old Maxwell Williamson told WLTX-TV .
The zoo's Dillon Hall introduces visitors to a dinosaur named Haddie.
"She's just a baby dinosaur," he explained. "But when she's an adult, she'll be the size of a school bus!"
Dino footprints lead the way to the zoo's new exhibit, Dinosaurs Around the World: The Great Outdoors.
"This is a new experience and a reminder that extinction is reality for many species in the wild," said Susan O'Cain of the zoo.
"Riverbanks' mission is conservation. We have several species, for instance, the Amur Tiger. There are about 400 of those animals remaining in the wild. The Western Lowland Gorilla, we know of about 100,000 of those animals still remaining in the wild."
