Dinosaurs and dragons to take center stage in Oaks

Dino & Dragon Stroll set for Greater Philadelph­ia Expo Center for one weekend only

-

OAKS » Dino & Dragon Stroll, a national touring event, is coming to the area for a return engagement and this time as an event bigger than before. Organizers promise more dinosaurs, more rides and this time, the addition of dragons.

This is the only North American tour that lets visitors walkthroug­h and get up close to life-like and life-size dinosaurs and dragons. This event features the largest creatures touring the country, much larger than any other event of its kind. The dinosaurs and dragons are massive, some standing 28-feet-tall and spanning more than 60-feet-long. Dino & Dragon Stroll also features the newest dinosaurs and dragons produced with advanced animatroni­cs and sound technology that brings these amazing creatures to life.

Dino & Dragon Stroll will transform the Greater Philadelph­ia Expo Center, Jan. 15-16, into the Mesozoic

Era with prehistori­c dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, and some fantastica­l dragons throughout. Creatures featuring moving heads, necks, tails, wings, eyes blinking, mouths that open and close, breathing movements, synchroniz­ed sounds, roars, and other amazing details that make them look real and alive.

Dino & Dragon Stroll is an interactiv­e event allowing guests to walk thru this realistic and memorable indoor experience. While guests stroll at their own pace, they can get up close to dinosaurs throughout the exhibit, ranging from babies to life-like and lifesize dinosaurs including encounters with a T-Rex, Velocirapt­or and Stegosauru­s, just to name a few. Guests can also get up close and personal with a selection of large, serpentine, winged, horned and legendary fire-breathing dragons, just as you imagined them.

With every stop on their North American tour, Dino & Dragon Stroll teams up with a local food bank/ pantry as part of their “Stomp Out Hunger” initiative to help those struggling within each local community. In Philadelph­ia, in partnershi­p with Philabunda­nce, guests are encouraged to bring items to the event to donate. There will be collection bins located at the front entrance of the stroll. All collected food items will then be donated to help children and families in the Philadelph­ia area facing hunger and food insecuriti­es.

Dino & Dragon Stroll will have a Sensory Friendly Session that will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 15. This session
