Immerse yourself in the wonders of the prehistoric world at the Oregon Zoo! You might think today's predators are pretty fierce but just wait until you see those from the past. From the massive giganotosaurus to the cunning troodon, dinosaur predators were skilled at finding their prey and surviving in a hostile world.
Follow along the rain-forest trail and encounter life-size animatronic dinosaurs representing 17 species from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods! You'll see both gentle plant-eating giants and our frightening predators. Don't worry. These guys aren't hungry. The prehistoric trail-guides will be here to tell you some interesting facts about each dinosaur.
Walking the trail is not the only way to experience these predators. Kids can learn about the different dinosaurs at our discovery stations. Prehistoric Predators runs through September 6th.
