“DINOSAURS at the Maryland Zoo is a blockbuster experience you won’t want to miss,” Maryland Zoo President & CEO, Kirby Fowler said in a news release. “To see these dinosaurs at full scale in our forest will give you a sense of what it was like when they walked the planet. And our educational resources will link these prehistoric creatures to their living descendants that we have here as part of our animal collection.”
