Dino Play: The Mind Museum’s Traveling Exhibit

The inquisitive mind of children will be nurtured as they explore the world of dinosaurs in The Mind Museum’s latest traveling exhibition. Dino Play: Explore the Mindblowing World of Dinosaurs heads to Cebu from May 1 to 14 at The Gallery, Ayala Center Cebu.

Dino Play provides the platform for young dinosaur enthusiasts to explore and enjoy the world of dinosaurs. Kids will be greeted by a T-Rex sculpture with giant dinosaur eggs at the entrance where they can snap photos for keeps. Inside they can view the vintage and iconic Sarao Motors jeep which gives adults a trip down memory lane with the King of Philippine roads.

To ensure that everyone enjoys their Dinosaur day out, the Dino Play is divided into four nests:

Dino Dig – The kids will have the thrill of being paleontologists as they explore the fossils of the Jurassic age. With the Paleontologist Field Kits, kids can dig and discover the fossils that are hidden in the ‘excavation sites’.

Dino Lab – Once kids obtain the mysterious relics of ages past, they take it to the Dino Lab where further examination on fossils begins. There, they will see and appreciate dinosaur bones, petrified food, ammonites which are ancient shelled creatures and even dinosaur poop that has already turned into stone.

Dino Fun – In this area, kids and adults can go all out with creativity with different activities in store. They may create personalized fossils or play at the Dino Family Tree. Kids may climb the Dino Lookout Tower and get a glimpse of all the unique dinosaurs around.

Dino Den – Recommended for kids two to eight years old, the den is where they can stomp around, leave footprints in the forest area while having a play pretend with their classmates and friends.

For parents and teachers, adult guides are provided. Manuals are also provided per nest to provide necessary information that will guide kids and students in their visit to Dino Play, making each activity educational and fun.
