DINO DAZE
Prehistoric Fun: 65 Million Years in the Making!
Welcome to Dino Daze at Town Square! Join us for a Mammoth-Sized day of family fun, learning, and creating. We’ve gone completely Dino-Rific, with fun dinosaur-themed games, arts and crafts, educational presenters, unique photo opportunities, and, best of all, The Colossal Fossil Exhibit.
Your First Stop:
The Jurassic Jeep Photo Op: Hop on into the OFFICIAL Jurassic Jeep, parked outside the Town Square entrance, and photograph your family “arriving” at Dino Daze.
Get a sneak peek at the Jurassic Jeep at the Crossroads Market Party on Saturday, May 15 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at 762 Commercial Avenue in Green Lake!
From 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
See the amazing Colossal Fossil Exhibit, filling the Town Square Ballroom with 1,500 square feet of Giant, Real dinosaur bones and learning opportunities, including a replica Whale Skeleton. Go right inside the mouth of a life-sized, 50-foot Whale. Visit an Ice Age camp, where you will learn about primitive skills and Ice Age Mammals. And see dozens of other dino-mite exhibits.
