If you want to win over Bo’s heart, just engage him in a conversation about his two favorite things right now: Dinosaurs or Pirates. Star Wars is a close third.
The first dino-experience for Bo was at the Zoo. They have a separate dinosaur exhibit for a few extra bucks, and if you have a young dino-dreamer like we do, it’s worth the $$.
The dinosaurs are full-scale and full-of-life; they move, snarl, and make all their respective dino growls! Bo was a little scared at first, but he quickly started pointing out which ones were meat-eaters and which ones were plant-eaters…a.k.a. dinos that “won’t eat me.”
The T-Rex was massive and definitely got a scream out of Bo, which we have on video. Bo’s favorite part was when Gus got drenched by the spitting dinos at the end!
Our second family date with dinos was in Houston’s Museum District (AMAZING AMAZING district also right behind Rice University). We got another thoughtful Houston-esque gift from Uncle Jesse and Auntie Kate to the Museum of Natural Science.
Apparently, they have one of the best exhibits in the country and some of the most complete Dinosaur skeletons in the world!
They have three T-Rexes and Bo named them all “Rexy.” This boy is a T-Rex fanatic!
The giant dinosaur skeletons are placed into lively action poses based on their habitat and behind each skeleton is the gorgeously illustrated scene on the wall.
Utter ridiculousness below…this Mammoth literally looks like he’s laughing whilst being attacked by ancient man from the rear. And apparently that is a human skeleton being flung through the air.
Meet Megaloon, a 12-foot wide, reconstructed jaw of the largest shark that ever lived! “This jaw is poised in the act of ambushing a swimming, extinct elephant.”
Meet Bo. No explanation needed.
This HALL is beyond impressive, incredibly informative and so well designed. I highly recommend when and if you ever make it out to Houston, ya’ll.
