Students learn dinosaur classification, prehistoric timelines, fossil identification, and how scientists study extinct species. Rangers teach through storytelling and hands-on discovery — students handle 30+ touchable fossil replicas at the Master Fossil Exhibition, dig for fossil replicas at the Fossil Dig Station, and interact with the lifelike baby dinosaur puppets. Topics align with NGSS and Florida STEM standards and cover life science, scientific inquiry, earth history, and paleontology.

Yes. The curriculum draws on source materials from the Smithsonian, the American Museum of Natural History, Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Florida Museum of Natural History, the Paleontological Society, and National Geographic Kids. It integrates Science (paleontology, life science, earth history), Technology (the AI-powered Triceratops on Premium, AI Photo Station), Engineering (fossil excavation methodology), and Math (timeline reasoning, size comparisons). Aligns with NGSS and Florida STEM standards.

Yes — after booking, schools receive pre-event resources through the customer portal: lesson plans (short dinosaur-themed lessons aligned to event curriculum topics), social media posts (pre-written for the school's official accounts), printable flyers, and family communication templates ready to send through the school's existing channels. Recommended timing guidance is included for when to share each piece in the days and weeks before the event.

We recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks ahead. Popular weeks — Dino Week, Science Week, STEM Days, and end-of-year celebrations — book 6+ weeks out. Minimum lead time is 7 days; the system blocks anything closer. We serve Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties only.

Each show seats up to 120 students, with a minimum of 50 students per event. Students move through the Zone 1 stations with a Ranger at each one, then come together for the Zone 2 show. Schools above 120 students run multiple back-to-back shows in the same booked slot — shows run continuously without breaks between sessions.

Yes. With a full-day booking (8 AM – 6 PM), shows run continuously back-to-back without breaks between sessions, so schools should plan class rotations around the continuous schedule. Schools with student counts beyond a single day's capacity book additional event days.

We need a 30×30 foot flat clear surface, access to a standard 110V outlet within reasonable cord distance, and ceiling height of at least 8–9 ft for Basic or at least 10 ft for Premium (the 8-foot T-Rex needs the headroom). Gyms, cafeterias, multipurpose rooms, media centers, courtyards, and playgrounds all work. Rangers handle setup and cleanup.

No parent volunteers needed. Our Rangers staff every station and manage all aspects of the experience. We only ask that teachers escort their class to/from the venue and remain present for supervision. You control the flow—we handle everything inside the zones.

There is no travel fee for events in Broward or Miami-Dade County. Events in Palm Beach County carry a flat $100 Fuel Surcharge, added automatically once you enter the event address at booking. The per-student price includes the dinosaurs, the included stations, Rangers, setup, and breakdown. Optional add-ons (the Jurassic Discovery Zone, and the Baby Dino Upgrade on Premium) are priced per student and shown at booking.

Basic and Premium events both include about 60 minutes of programmed experience per show; the optional Jurassic Discovery Zone add-on adds about 30 minutes. Events run inside a booked slot — morning (8 AM – 1 PM), afternoon (1 PM – 6 PM), or full-day (8 AM – 6 PM). Rangers spend 1 to 1.5 hours setting up inside the slot and about an hour packing up afterward.

Every package includes two Zone 1 stations: the Master Fossil Exhibition (30+ touchable fossil replicas — bones, fangs, claws, eggs, skulls) and the AI Photo Station (each kid's photo is dropped into a prehistoric scene, parents get free downloads after). The optional Jurassic Discovery Zone add-on brings five more hands-on stations: the Fossil Dig Station (kids use real brushes and tools to uncover hidden fossil replicas and match them against identification cards), the Dino Target Game (sandbag toss at target zones), the Discovery Floor Mat, the Dino Matching Game, and the Interactive Dino Book Station. In Zone 2, they meet the baby dinosaur puppets (five for Basic, three for Premium, with the Baby Dino Upgrade adding two more on Premium). Every show opens with the volcano eruption, and Premium adds the AI-powered robot Triceratops trick show and the 8-foot T-Rex comedy finale.

Yes! We provide teacher guides with pre-visit activities, vocabulary lists, and post-visit extension ideas aligned to standards. These help maximize the educational impact and give teachers tools to continue the learning after we leave.

Yes. Schools above 120 students run multiple back-to-back shows inside the booked slot. Shows run continuously without breaks between sessions, so schools plan class rotations around the continuous schedule. The same per-student rate applies regardless of how many shows are needed.

Yes. Every Ranger passes a Level 2 background screening (fingerprint-based) as required by Florida schools. We can provide verification documentation upon request. Our team is trained in child safety protocols and professional conduct.

Yes, we're fully insured and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming your school as additional insured upon request.

We keep it fun and comical—never scary! Our Rangers go slow with hesitant kids and never force interactions. Initial nervousness usually fades within minutes once students see classmates having fun. Most "scared" kids become the most enthusiastic by the end.

Research shows experiential learning increases retention by up to 75% compared to traditional instruction. Field trips also build social skills, spark curiosity, and create "anchor memories" that help students connect future learning to concrete experiences. In-school field trips deliver these benefits without the logistics of leaving campus.

Dinosaurs are a "gateway science"—they teach scientific thinking through a topic kids are naturally passionate about. Students learn to ask questions, examine evidence, and understand deep time. This early engagement with paleontology often sparks lifelong interest in science, geology, and natural history.

Yes! Our programming aligns with Florida STEM standards and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). We cover life science concepts, scientific inquiry, and earth history in age-appropriate ways that complement classroom learning.
