Creative Arts & Attractions brings lifelike, crowd-winning animatronic dinosaur exhibits to zoos nationwide—helping boost attendance, elevate guest experience, and create unforgettable seasonal events. Our dinosaurs are highly realistic, responsive, and engineered for reliable outdoor performance, making them an effortless and high-impact addition to your yearly programming
Why Dinosaurs Drive Attendance
Families love dinosaurs—and zoos consistently see a measurable lift during dinosaur exhibit periods. A well-executed dino trail blends entertainment, education, and conservation storytelling, making it one of the most effective seasonal activations for modern zoological parks.
- 20–40% attendance increases are common during dinosaur exhibit runs
- Strong appeal for core family audiences, boosting membership sales and revisits
- Expanded revenue streams through ticketing, concessions, and gift shops
- Built-in educational value, connecting prehistoric giants with today’s wildlife
Dinosaurs create a “must-see” moment that guests plan their visits around.
Meet the Stars of the Experience
A gentle giant of the Jurassic, this long-necked Apatosaurus towers over the landscape with a calm, majestic presence—perfect as an awe-inspiring centerpiece for any dinosaur trail.
The king of the Cretaceous roars to life with powerful stance and dynamic motion. This T-Rex delivers high-impact excitement, drawing guests in with its fierce expression and towering scale.
With its iconic back plates and spiked tail, the Stegosaurus offers a striking mix of strength and prehistoric charm. A guest favorite, it brings vivid texture and realism to any exhibit setting.
