    • Dinosaurs Live! at Heard Museum

    Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney invites visitors to explore its 18th annual Dinosaurs Live! exhibit. Running from August 31 to February 17, the exhibit features 11 life-size animatronic dinosaurs along a half-mile nature trail. The dinosaurs move and roar, providing an engaging experience while offering educational insights about both herbivorous and carnivorous species.

    Children can enjoy interactive elements, including stationary baby dinosaurs for play and photo opportunities with a Tyrannosaurus rex and a Pachyrhinosaurus. An outdoor hadrosaur fossil dig is also included, perfect for inspiring future paleontologists. The trail is accessible for jogging strollers but not suitable for those with small wheels or wheelchairs.
