Hold on to your you-know-whats! Thanks to a very generous donor, our scientists were able to extract dino DNA from a mosquito trapped in amber for millions of years. Soon we will feature real live dinosaurs! Children can pet, feed, and probably ride them, and we fully believe absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong!

What better way to foster the curiosity of young paleontologists in Eastern NC.

Comment below what dinosaur species you would like to see roaming freely throughout the Children’s Museum, and perhaps parts of historic downtown New Bern!
