For family fun this summer, an exciting new attraction is hatching at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. This playhouse for kids is now home to the world's greatest predators, and they're waiting for you. Dinosphere, one of the largest displays of real juvenile and family dinosaur fossils in the United States, has its much anticipated opening June 11.

Dinosphere promises to be unlike any other fossil display in the world. Visitors will be transported back in time via a multi-level, multi-sensory immersive environment. Along the way, families can experiment and explore at interactive learning stations as they search for clues about dinosaurs and how they lived and died. These learning stations, designed to encourage interest in science, will include activities such as touching real fossils, piecing together dinosaur anatomy and searching for T. rex's "dinner".

The specimens assembled for the Dinosphere exhibit are some of the most notable in the world, including:

The centerpiece of Dinosphere will be Bucky, a teenage Tyrannosaurus rex - the first juvenile T. rex on display in a museum.

A nearly complete Gorgosaurus skeleton. A cousin of the T. rex, this Gorgosaurus is one of the most complete ever found.

Baby Louie, the only articulated dinosaur embryo fossil ever found in the world, was featured on the cover of National Geographic.

Kelsey, one of the most complete Triceratops skeletons known to science.

A rare Leptoceratops, Frannie, a small dinosaur with a razor-sharp, parrot-like beak and a cousin to the Triceratops.

Sink your teeth into summer fun with a trip to Dinosphere at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. This $25 million exhibit is an impressive addition to what is already the largest children's museum in the United States. With so much to offer, it's no wonder The Children's Museum has been rated the #1 children's museum in the nation by Child Magazine.
