Arizona Science Center — Giant Mysterious Dinosaurs {Travel Tuesday Giveaway}

As a for­mer sci­ence teacher, I’m a big fan of the Ari­zona Sci­ence Cen­ter!  We actu­ally hadn’t taken the boys yet, but we had some BIG moti­va­tion to go recently! Giant Mys­te­ri­ous Dinosaurs!! It’s the Ari­zona Sci­ence Center’s newest exhibit which pro­vides an up-close look at GIGANTIC dinosaur skele­tons and fos­sils from around the globe—many rarely seen in this coun­try! So, the boys got all dressed in their dinosaur best and we headed down­town to the sci­ence cen­ter. Giant Mys­te­ri­ous Dinosaurs spot­lights the largest tour­ing col­lec­tion of dinosaur skele­tons and robot­ics, up to 70 feet long and 24 feet tall! So, need­less to say, the boys were super excited to check it out! When we walked in we were greeted by “the biggest bone in the world” — the ver­te­brae of an Argenti­nosaurus. It was HUGE! Just ONE of its ver­te­brae was about as tall as I am! Crazy. But then we rounded the cor­ner and saw the biggest dinosaur we’ve ever seen. The mamen­chisaurus! Check out the neck on that guy!!! It was CRAZY! Truly a site to behold! The longest-necked of all plant-eaters! Wowza! The boys loved explor­ing and see­ing all the dif­fer­ent skele­tons! In true boy fash­ion, they were quite inter­ested in the “sharp-tooth” guys (a ref­er­ence from the Land Before Time)! The exhibit also had some fun, inter­ac­tive areas. The boys LOVED the dig pit! And, they had some fun check­ing out the dinosaur robot­ics too! Clearly, we had a fab­u­lous time! After the dinosaurs, we explored the rest of the cen­ter for quite some­time. The boys’ other favorites were the forces of nature sec­tion, some fun physics activ­i­ties, and Legos! Would your fam­ily enjoy a trip to see the Giant Mys­te­ri­ous Dinosaurs? If so, plan a trip soon as the exhibit will only be here until until Jan­u­ary 21, 2013! How about a FREE trip?!…WIN IT!
