If our Car Park is full, parking is usually also available in lots throughout Exposition Park. These lots are $10 (though costs rise for special events) and are also cash only.

The Dinosaur Hall is Open
Members can see our new permanent, innovative, and high-tech Dinosaur Hall as much as they like all year long for FREE. Come and meet Thomas the T. rex (a 34-foot T. rex that ranks among the most complete specimens ever discovered) alongside two other T. rex specimens — a baby and a juvenile in an amazing growth series. It's the only one of its kind in the world! Then discover the other reconstructed skeletons (20 in all), interactive displays, and learn how paleontologists find, unearth, and study these amazing creatures. Not a member?
