If you've got an Indiana Jones wannabe in your family, there just might be a road trip to Denver in your future. On September 26, an exciting new exhibit is invading the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries promises to take visitors back over a hundred million years to when the stegosaurus, brontosaurus, and dreaded T-Rex walked the earth. Highlights include:

• a 700-square-foot diorama representing life 130 million years ago, with 463 scientifically accurate models of ancient animals, including nonavian dinosaurs.
• Three hi-def video screens showing a computer animation of a steel apatosaurus skeleton that morphs first into a fossil skeleton and gradually into a full-fleshed dinosaur
• A life-size model of a primitive tyrannosaur, covered with branched protofeathers—precursors to the feathers found on living birds 
• A 15-by-10-foot re-creation of the Davenport Ranch Trackway, a collection of sauropod and theropod prints unearthed in Texas

Want to get even more out of your visit? Consider signing up your junior paleontologist for one of the super children's workshops (fossil digs! mask making!) that run on select weekends from October to mid-January (4-hr workshop: $40/member, $50/non-member). Some sessions are geared for preschoolers (ages 4 and 5), others to school kids.
