Dinosaurs Alive

Dinosaurs Alive Is a Global Adventure of Science and Discovery, Reincarnating the Earliest Creatures of the Triassic to the Monsters of the Cretaceous – Life-Sized and Life-Like.

Dinosaurs Alive brings dinosaurs, their behaviors and their ancient environments to life on screen as never before seen. See stunningly realistic and scientifically accurate computer generated imagery (CGI) as these great creatures of the past are brought roaring to life. 

Join renowned paleontologists from the American Museum of Natural History as they uncover new fossils—including the remarkable discovery of what may be the oldest dinosaur ever found in North America.

Dinosaurs Alive thrills audiences with an incredible array of locations, prehistoric eras, and amazing dinosaur species. The film instills a passion for exploration, promotes a curiosity about science and paleontology, and most importantly encourages guests to become dinosaur hunters.

Dinosaurs Alive was produced with support from the National Science Foundation in collaboration with the Museum Film Network, the 3D Film Interest Group, and two prestigious museums: the American Museum of Natural History and the Maryland Science Center.
