Don’t Miss the Return of the Dinosaurs, Live at the Spokane Arena!

Written by admin on February 3rd, 2010

Hear T-Rex roar! On April 7–11, 2010, giant, life-size dinosaurs will once again roam the earth, taking over the Spokane Arena. Based on the award-winning BBC television show, this incredible spectacle features “a whole menagerie of creatures, many of which have never been seen outside the pages of scientific journals,” according to Tim Haines, creator and BBC series producer of Walking with Dinosaurs. If you enjoyed the blockbuster film Jurassic Park or have ever marveled at dinosaur fossils in a museum or illustrations of dinosaurs in a magazine, then you will be blown away by this realistic sensory experience of being transported 65 million years back in time. Seventeen dinosaurs, representing ten different species, move, roar, and look just like the originals in this live performance.

The thrilling display even replicates the earthquakes, volcanoes, and comet impacts of the Triassic and Cetaceous periods (208–144 and 144–65 million years ago, respectively), but this show is suitable for all ages. Adults and children alike will be enthralled. Book your family’s adventure soon—when the show came to Spokane in 2007, shows sold out! An ideal Spokane area hotel to stay at, especially if you are bringing children to the show, is Stratford Suites. The two-bedroom suites provide privacy for families, and a fully equipped kitchen in every suite gives you the convenience and affordability of eating in.

Watch the Ornithocheirus soar Come watch the Ornithocheirus, the largest creature to ever fly, the Allosaurus, known as the lion of the Jurassic, the T-Rex, king of prehistoric predators, and other amazing favorites come to life this April. Get ready for the show by designing your own virtual dinosaur, piecing together a dinosaur from skeleton pieces, and playing a game of digging for dinosaurs at the Walking with Dinosaurs website.

Walking with Dinosaurs tickets are available through TicketsWest, or just go to the Spokane Arena website. When you book your luxurious, fully-furnished suite at Stratford Suites hotel, be sure to check out our shop and stay packages for a weekend of Spokane shopping and fun.
