Valleyfair to Open 'Dinosaurs Alive!' Park Summer 2013

An interactive dinosaur park is set to open in  the summer of 2013, the Shakopee Valley News has reported.

The dinosaur park will be called Dinosaurs Alive! and is part of Valleyfair's $3.5 million expansion that will also include a new catering area. 

According to the report, the multi-sensory, interactive dinosaur park will feature more than 30 dinosaurs that will be life-sized and animated, as well as seven main scenes. The scenes are part of a story describing dinosaur's lives, such as the food they ate.

Interactive features of the park will include a paleontological dig site for children and the ability for visitors to control some dinosaur movements. 

All of this is to take place on almost five wooded acres, the report states.
