Dino Stroll — free for veterans and active military

Dinosaurs are coming to Charlotte, and this time you can walk among them!

Dino Stroll will be at The Park Expo and Convention Center, 800 Briar Creek Road, on Saturday, August 21st, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, August 22nd, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

This not what we’d call a cheap event, at $25 a ticket, but it’s FREE for military members and veterans, so we thought it was worth a mention!

What can you expect? Well, lots of dinosaurs! There will be almost 75 life-like dinosaurs and other creatures, with some standing over 25 tall and over 60 feet long.

Meet T-Rex, Velociraptors and Stegosaurus, along with all their other friends (and enemies.)

These animatronic dinosaurs have moving heads, necks, tails, wings, blinking eyes, and mouths that open and close. They “breathe,” have synchronized sounds, and even spray water.

You’ll also get to study replicas of skeletons, fossils and dinosaur eggs. You can even climb inside the eggs for photo ops.

What else? There will be a Dino Band providing tunes, and roaming characters for you to encounter during your stroll.
