⭐Dinosaurs of Patagonia is a world-class, highly successful exhibition designed for science museums. Auckland was not initially included in the regional tour, becauses Patagotitan, the latest dinosaur ever found, does not fit in the preferred venues. However, a last-minute change in the tour schedule presented an opportunity to bring the exhibition to Auckland. Adapting Logan Campbell Centre to meet the minimum requirements of the exhibition was a significant undertaking, but we embraced the challenge to make this extraordinary event accessible to the Auckland community.
⭐ Featuring life-size casts of Southern Hemisphere dinosaurs, including the massive Patagotitan and fierce carnivores from the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic periods, Dinosaurs of Patagonia in Auckland is a must-visit for all ages. Adults can dive into detailed information based on groundbreaking research from paleontologists. With full skeleton casts, fossils, and the latest discoveries from Patagonia, this exhibition promises an unforgettable experience for families, friends, and colleagues alike.
