Catch Dinos in the Garden Before They Go Extinct!

We’re not expecting a six-to-nine-mile-wide meteorite, but the presence of dinos at the Garden will cease to exist on May 30.

Fortunately, our dinos won’t suffer mega-tsunamis and continent-wide firestorms, and the Garden’s remaining residents won’t have to endure years of darkness and acid rain. Life will go on pretty much as normal, but we will definitely miss these Cretaceous-era creatures.

So plan a visit today to Dinosaurs Around the World: The Great Outdoors–and be thankful you missed the previous extinction event, because that was one really bad day for planet Earth!
