This exhibition ventures beyond the familiar Triceratops and T. rex of No rth America to showcase spectacular dinosaur discoveries from the Southern Hemisphere — South America\, Africa\, and Madagascar. Trace how the anc ient supercontinent Pangaea gradually split apart\, isolating these southe rn lands and setting the stage for some of the strangest\, most gigantic d inosaurs ever to walk the earth. Journey from the earliest known dinosaurs of the Triassic Period through the fragmentation of the southern supercon tinent Gondwana and discover how tectonic drift and evolution in isolation produced wildly different creatures from those found up north. The journe y culminates in the Late Cretaceous\, where the exhibition’s dinosaurs r eveal how millions of years of separation shaped two distinct dinosaur wor lds. \n\n\n\nSpecial for this exhibition at the Minnesota State Fair: See real fossils from Minnesota spanning nearly two billion years\, including our new State Fossil — a giant beaver found in St. Paul. Discover how Mi nnesota scientists continue to advance our understanding of life on Earth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFifteen fully articulated skeleton casts anchor the e xhibit\, including the fearsome Carnotaurus\, the sail-backed Ouranosaurus \, the plant-eating crocodile Simosuchus\, and the towering southern preda tor Giganotosaurus\, a carnivore even larger than its cousin\, Tyrannosaur us rex. Alongside these dramatic casts\, authentic fossils and touchable s pecimens bring you face-to-face with real prehistoric remains\, while augm ented reality “skin viewers” reveal what these dinosaurs may have actu ally looked like in life. \n\n\n\nDesigned for all ages\, Ultimate Dinosau rs is packed with hands-on fun: a multiplayer continental drift puzzle\, a microfossil sifting station\, tactile bronze casts of claws and teeth\, a nd large-scale reactive walls that respond to you as you explore. Whether you’re a lifelong dinosaur enthusiast or just looking for an unforgettab le day at the Fair\, this exhibition offers a fresh\, science-driven look at prehistoric giants the whole family can dig into. \n\n\n\nEnhance your experience with select pop-up talks by museum paleontologists\, where you can meet Science Museum of Minnesota professionals and touch real fossils from the museum’s vault.  \n\n\n\nFree with fair admission.
