“Chasing Dinosaurs” with Dino Don Lessem
How did dinosaurs evolve? When did they live and why did they die out? Dino Don Lessen brings the ancient world of dinosaurs to life – the time periods, continental changes, and climate in dinosaur time. He’ll also discuss how fossils are formed, discovered, studied, and repaired, and share sample dinosaur bones, teeth, skin impression, claws, and even poop!
Dino Don is a world-renowned paleontologist who advised Steven Spielberg on the original Jurassic Park film and also served as a consultant for Universal and Disney theme parks! He has written 40 children’s books including encyclopedias for National Geographic, Random House, and Scholastic. We can’t wait for you to meet him and learn all about his experience working with dinosaurs!
**Please note: Dino Don will be available during specific hours for this event. On July 17, he will be available from 10am – 5pm, and on July 18, he will be available from 10am – 2:45pm. If you have questions, please contact us. Thank you.**
