In an extraordinary blend of education and entertainment, Lucknow’s Regional Science City opens its gates to the magnificent Dinosaur Park, offering an immersive Jurassic Park-like adventure. The inauguration by state education minister Sandeep Singh marked the beginning of this prehistoric journey, where visitors can wander among over 30 life-sized dinosaur replicas. From the towering Titanosaurs to the fearsome Ankylosaurus, the park presents an unparalleled glimpse into a time long forgotten.
A Thrilling Experience Awaits
The excitement isn’t just in the replicas; the park sets the stage for a breathtaking spectacle with its daily light and sound show. Scheduled in two evening slots at 6:45 pm and 7:30 pm, these shows promise to transport audiences back to when these majestic creatures roamed the Earth. According to Times of India, these presentations aim to animate history, making education a vivid and impactful experience.
Cultivating Curiosity Through Education
Minister Sandeep Singh emphasized the educational potential of the park, urging students to seize this opportunity to foster scientific inquiry. “Our future scientists and innovators will emerge from such curious and inspired minds,” Singh said, highlighting the park’s role in scientific education.
Multi-sensory Engagement
Adding to the spectacle, the Director of CSIR-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Prabodh Kumar Trivedi, shared insights into the park’s mission to educate. The park’s multi-sensory experience is designed to enlighten visitors about Earth’s biological heritage, biodiversity conservation, and scientific investigation, offering a compelling blend of learning and enjoyment.
Hands-On Science Learning
In a push to make science education more accessible, National Science Centre’s director, Vijay Shankar, stated the need for learning beyond textbooks. The Prehistoric Life Park exemplifies this by providing an interactive environment that helps children visualize ancient worlds vividly, leading to a richer understanding of evolution and biodiversity.
The Real Anthology of Evolution
Swarup Mandal, RSC coordinator, detailed the park’s exhibition showcases. Visitors can engage with realistic animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar, further enriched by displays detailing species habitats and extinction theories. Interactive exhibits guide visitors through the fascinating processes of dinosaur evolution and fossil formation.
