TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Dinosaur Adventure made its way to the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds on Saturday.
This was a family-friendly event that featured life-size animatronic dinosaurs, interactive exhibits.
Its Dinosaur Handler Joe Aholt explains all of the things people learn at this event.
“They get to see what the dinosaurs look like, how they moved, facts about where they lived, when they lived, what their diet was like,’ said Aholt. “You can even hear what they sounded like, which is a cool thing.”
This event also included bounce houses, panning and mining for gemstones, and fossils, and dinosaur rides. Aholt said that he loves the fact that this allows children to have fun while being educated.
“The entertainment part is pretty cool, but the educational part is also neat,” said Aholt. “I think dinosaurs are a great gateway science as it helps to learn about biology and earth science which are both really important for the kids to know.”
Aholt said that this event is constantly moving as they typically only take off one month and year and are in a different city every weekend.
