DINOS EVERYWHERE! 2021

March 1 through Labor Day, September 6
For a second year, Brookfield Zoo is hosting the largest display of dinosaurs in America! You’ll meet
accurate, robotic re-creations of more than 40 of them along Brookfield lawns, including the largest,
accurate, animatronic dinosaur ever built—110-foot-long Argentinosaurus. The creator of these robo
dinos, Don Lessem, was advisor to the movie Jurassic Park, excavator of some of the world’s largest
dinosaurs (including Argentinosaurus), and the author of 40 books on dinosaurs.
DINOS EVERYWHERE! 2021 will have a few surprises that were not in last year’s exhibit. Lessum has
enhanced some of the dinosaurs to make them even more life-like than ever. And you’ll have fun
searching for a dozen tiny dinos hiding along the Dino Trail.

Virtual 5K Spring Run/Walk

Place: Your choice
Time: Your choice, any time between April 1 and May 30
Brookfield Zoo’s first-ever Virtual 5K Spring Run/Walk takes you outdoors to enjoy the warm weather
and glorious colors of spring. You choose the time and place—take a hike in a forest preserve, jog
along a waterfront trail, or stroll through a neighborhood, for example. Or if you enjoy competition,
run the full 5K (3.1-miles) and compare your time with other runners. Each runner will receive
a numbered bib and commemorative swag included with registration. The cost to
participate is $25 per runner. For registration and more details, go to CZS.org/SpringRun.
