Dinosaurs: Awakened, 2021 at Calgary Zoo Based on the success of the past “Dinosaurs Alive” exhibit held in 2010 and 2015, the Calgary Zoo is introducing 26 new realistic animatronic dinosaurs (across 17 species) within Prehistoric Park, from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, covering the zoo’s regions including: Canada, Asia, Africa, South America, and Antarctica. The exhibit, designed to educate, as well as entertain, encourages visitors to go on an immersive journey through the newly designed Prehistoric Park to experience what it may have been like to roam the Earth with the dinosaurs, while inspiring action to prevent the loss of endangered species today  – a key component of the vital conservation work the Calgary Zoo does both locally and globally. “Dinosaurs: Awakened” will be viewable within Prehistoric Park until October 31, 2021 and is included in the price of daily admission. Tickets can be purchased directly from the Calgary Zoo website.
