Growing up as a kid in Amarillo, we all had one thing in common. We went through a dinosaur phase. Whether we outgrow the phase or still get a thrill from a T-Rex roar, prehistoric exhibits have a way of bringing out the kid in all of us.

We can relive the fun and get back to the excitement of dinosaurs at the Don Harrington Discovery Center. I first saw a billboard or two letting us know that the dinosaurs were coming.

When we went to the Discovery Center recently, we knew they were getting ready for something big. Now we know that in the outdoor area, there are two huge dinosaurs to see. There is Trixie the Triceratops and Rexas the T-Rex.

That was not all. We were soon going to be able to see much more when we step through those Discovery Center doors. This was going to be something bigger. The signs wanted to make sure that we knew.

Dinosaurs in Motion: What to Expect from the New Exhibit

What were we going to be able to see? Who was ready for the dinosaurs to take over? I know that my family is getting excited. The time is near, don't you worry. According to the Discovery Center:

The dinosaurs are coming to DHDC…
Starting February 15, things are getting a lot more prehistoric with the first of three dinosaur exhibits, Dinosaurs in Motion. Get ready to step back in time, explore towering creatures, and experience hands-on discoveries millions of years in the making with an exhibit created by @Imagine Exhibitions.

A year full of dinosaur exhibits at the Discovery Center is a great way to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
