Conveniently located on HWY 111 and Cathedral Canyon Drive across the street from City Hall and the Mary Pickford Theater, let the traffic pass you by as you wander through a maze of the most spectacular dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era.
The Mesozoic Era
Divided into three distinct periods, the Mesozoic Era, known as the Age of Dinosaurs, begins in the Triassic Period 230 million years ago when small ancestral semi-bipedal reptiles grew and diversified during the Jurassic Period and after 180 million years of successful living became the giants, we know of today. Due to a catastrophic meteorite impact on Earth in the area known as the Yucatan Peninsula, the Dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period more than sixty-five million years ago.
