Organizers say it contains a prehistoric playgroundof cuddly creatures with enhanced robotics and digital sound. Kay Hyde,marketing director for the Science Center, says one unusual aspect of thisbaby dinosaur exhibit is that kids can actually control one of the roboticcreatures. The three-thousand-square-foot exhibit includes four Mosozoic(mez-oh-zoh’-ik) scenarios, following the growth of dinosaurs from eggs toinfants.
