Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs announces its grand opening at OdySea in the Desert in Scottsdale on Friday, November 24. The attraction will take guests back in time to the era of dinosaurs with riveting educational exhibits featuring more than 50 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, interactive activities, fossil excavations, face painting, sluicing activities, balloon art and more.

The attraction combines the thrills of a prehistoric-themed entertainment concept with educational elements designed to help children and their families learn more about some of the most mysterious creatures to ever walk the Earth – dinosaurs. Complete with realistic recreations of prehistoric habitats and lifelike robotic dinosaurs that roam through exhibits, Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs is unlike anything the Valley has ever seen.

“With Pangaea, we are bringing the prehistoric world to life where guests can experience what it would be like to walk among dinosaurs, all while enjoying educational explorations, dinosaur rides and hands-on activities,” said Adam Kariotoglou, founder of Pangaea. “We are thrilled to introduce this innovative concept that combines education and imagination to create the ultimate family experience.”
