Nesting With Dinosaurs

Cover Art Credit: Pecking Order by Luis V. Rey


On Display from Late September 2025 – March 2026  


Take a rare and exciting look at the life of dinosaurs through their eggs, nests and embryos in Nesting With Dinosaurs: Eggs Past and Present. This remarkable hands-on exhibition offers an astounding array of authentic dinosaur eggs and nests collected from all over the globe – including those of each of the major plant and meat-eating dinosaur groups.   


A captivating experience for all ages, Nesting with Dinosaurs presents new discoveries about dinosaur reproduction and behavior and introduces some of the fascinating people and science behind these discoveries. You and your family can touch real dinosaur bones and reconstructed nests, dig for eggs, experience hands-on exploration stations and view live animals, each with their own unique nesting behaviors. Each science-rich section is enhanced with exciting life-like models of embryos and hatchlings, colorful illustrations of dinosaur family life and stunning photographs of some of the world’s most renowned dinosaur hunters and their discoveries.  


The amazing collection of real fossils on view includes an authentic bowling ball-sized egg of a sauropod from Argentina – laid by a long-necked plant-eating titanosaur that lived 75 million years ago; a large cluster of eggs laid by a duck-billed, plant-eating dinosaur, and the longest dinosaur eggs ever discovered – almost 18 inches long – laid by a new giant species of oviraptor, a carnivorous, ostrich-like dinosaur.
