The dinosaurs at African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton aren’t going extinct just yet.

The Park has extended its Dinosaur Takeover by eight weeks due to popular demand, and the last day for guests to experience this temporary installation is now Monday, Oct. 30.

Dinosaur Takeover features more than 20 moving, roaring, life-sized creatures located throughout the Park’s Walk-Thru Safari. Highlights include raptors, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and a 40-foot-long T. rex.

“There’s something about dinosaurs that brings out the child in each of us, and Dinosaur Takeover takes you as close as you can get to these prehistoric beasts without traveling back in time,” said Park Director Kelsey Keller. “We are excited to give our guests some extra time with the dinosaurs before they disappear.”

Dinosaur Takeover is included with general Park admission. More information is available at www.africansafariwildlifepark.com/dinosaurs.

African Safari Wildlife Park has been delighting families for over 50 years. The free-range Drive-Thru Safari features giraffe, bison, alpacas and deer. The Walk-Thru Safari, open seasonally, features kangaroos, porcupines, birds and educational animal programs.
