DALLAS, TX—Dinosaur Invasion will roar into the metroplex this weekend, from Friday, August 6th through Sunday, August 8th at the Arlington Expo Center.

The pop-up event offers an opportunity to experience and learn about more than 50 animatronic dinosaurs — up close and personal — from the most famous dinosaurs to the most rare and fascinating ones.

“The drive-thru show was fun, but we are so excited to finally offer an interactive walk-thru experience where people can get close, take as many pictures as they want and make a day of their dinosaur experience,” said owner, Troy Diskin. Director of Marketing, Jim Wojdyla continues “As dads of littles ourselves, the main goal is to make the kids not even realize they are learning while having as much fun as possible.“

About Dinosaur Invasion
Dinosaur Invasion was formerly known as Dinosaur Drive-Thru - a model that started in 2020 and was successful during the pandemic because it provided an experience that families could enjoy from the safety of their own vehicle. It toured many cities and greeted over 500,000 people. However, as COVID regulations were lifted, the business model has changed to a much more engaging and interactive experience.
