HONOLULU (KHON2) — Something is stalking the grounds of Bishop Museum as a new exhibit prepares to make its debut.
WakeUp2Day’s Chris Latronic went live at “Expedition Dinosaur: Into the Deep” to learn more about the prehistoric experience.
For the first time on Oahu, guests get up close and personal with oceanic and aquatic reptiles from the Jurassic period, including favorites such as the T Rex and Stegosaurus.
According to Bishop Museum’s Vice President of Public Programs, Brandon Bunag, there are many new, exciting and interactive exhibits available to experience this year.
Guests can become scientists with a new exhibit that features an interactive fossil scanner. Just grab a fossil and scan it through the high-tech scanner to learn all about it.
This exhibit also features many life-sized fossils of prehistoric dinosaurs from the ocean, showcasing some creatures that may have once lived in our oceans.
Looking to travel back in time? Visit the time machine, a 13-minute show that will take you back to experience the many different periods of dinosaurs, like the Prehistoric and Jurassic eras.
Visitors can also come face-to-face with an actual dinosaur. Meet Moʻonui, a juvenile T Rex, every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
