3. Shopping Malls and City Plazas

Unexpected yet highly effective, animatronic dinosaurs are also used in commercial spaces such as shopping malls and city plazas. Their interactive nature draws crowds, increasing foot traffic and creating memorable experiences for shoppers.

• Interactive Displays: Whether through standing dinosaur replicas or fully interactive walking creatures, animatronic dinosaurs can be a central attraction in malls. People can take photos with them, interact through sound, or even enjoy educational programming in the middle of a shopping day.

• Special Events and Campaigns: During certain seasons or marketing events, animatronic dinosaurs are used to attract families and children. For instance, during a dinosaur-themed event, children can enjoy a “dinosaur parade” featuring animatronic dinosaurs parading through the mall, complete with sound effects and animated movements.

4. Educational Institutions (Schools and Universities)

Educational institutions are also utilizing animatronic dinosaurs in a variety of ways to foster learning. From primary schools to universities, these lifelike creatures help bring subjects like paleontology, evolutionary biology, and environmental science to life.

• Classroom Engagement: Teachers use animatronic dinosaurs to engage students in lessons about prehistoric life. These creatures offer a visual and interactive way to explore topics that may seem abstract in textbooks.

• Research and Exploration: Universities with paleontological programs often use animatronic dinosaurs for research purposes, creating models that demonstrate key aspects of dinosaur anatomy and behavior, which can help students visualize their studies more effectively.

5. Corporate Lobbies and Office Spaces

Corporate branding and office spaces also benefit from animatronic dinosaurs, especially for companies with connections to natural history, science, or entertainment. A large-scale animatronic dinosaur placed in the lobby of a company can act as an eye-catching conversation starter and make a strong visual impact.

• Branding and Marketing: Companies in the tech, entertainment, or education sectors may use animatronic dinosaurs as part of a larger campaign to create brand identity or make their office spaces more engaging for clients and visitors.

• Office Decor and Entertainment: Some businesses use animatronic dinosaurs as part of their office decor to give employees and visitors a fun and interactive environment. For instance, a large robotic dinosaur might move or roar periodically throughout the day, giving employees a playful break from work.

6. Dinosaur Parks and Zoos

Dinosaur parks, which are dedicated to showcasing life-sized replicas of dinosaurs, have become increasingly popular worldwide. In these outdoor parks, animatronic dinosaurs are often displayed in environments that simulate ancient landscapes. Visitors can explore various types of dinosaurs in habitats that look like they might have existed millions of years ago.

• Interactive Outdoor Attractions: In these parks, animatronic dinosaurs often feature realistic movements, sounds, and even scents, creating a true-to-life simulation of what it might have been like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

• Immersive Experiences: Walking tours or rides through dinosaur parks give guests the opportunity to interact with animatronic creatures. This can be enhanced with augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) technology, creating an even deeper level of engagement.

It’s a delightful surprise to visitors when they discover the gigantic dinosaurs on exhibit are not statues, they are animatronics with motion and sound. It’s as if they’re alive!

By Kirsten Aoyagi.

Dinosaurs come back to life in the exhibit, “Expedition Dinosaur: Rise of the Mammals,” now on display since February at ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center on the campus of the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. The exhibit, originally scheduled to close March 27, is such a huge success that it’s been extended through April 15, .

Designed by Stage Nine Exhibits, the exhibits offer a wide range of lifelike dinosaurs ranging from the toothy Tyrannosaurus Rex, the duck-billed Edmontosaurus, the non-avian Ankylosaurus, and more.

It’s a surprise to visitors when they discover the dinosaurs on exhibit are not statues, they are animatronics with motion and sound to interact with the viewer. It’s as if the creatures are really alive, taking visitors back in time 66 million years ago.

That’s not all.

The exhibit also offers interactive activities, like a sandpit, fossil scanner, jeep explorer, asteroid experience, plus more.

However, activities aren’t the only entertainment.

With the help of their partner Bishop Museum and sponsor KTA Super Stores, ‘Imiloa was able to host a wide range of programs for any age to enjoy, such as a paleontology lab after-school program, the planetarium program “Dinosaurs of Antarctica,” and the “Night at the Museum” program on Friday nights. (Due to limited staff, some of these programs will not be extended with the rest of the exhibit.)

During the mandatory covid safety rules that were implemented for events like these, ‘Imiloa offered time blocks.

“We started off with time blocks so we were allowing up to 120 people a day,” says Ku‘ulei Bezilla, a program planner at ʻImiloa. “We were selling out every block.”

However, when covid restrictions recently eased and the county increased indoor capacity, those average numbers grew to about 2,500 visitors! So it is safe to say that the exhibit is a huge success.

Many local schools have brought their students to visit the exhibit:

• • • Aloha Keiki Preschool
    • Kahuku Elementary
    • Atlas Workshops
    • Turning Point, Pacific Island Institute
    • Na Wai Ola Charter School
    • Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana‘ole Elementary and Intermediate
    • Maunaloa School
    • Hale Aloha Nazarene School

With many schools and general visitors, there are fan favorites such as their sandpit and draw-alive exhibit.

“The sandpit, there’s a projector shooting down onto this sand and you can manipulate the sand, you can build a mound, and it will create a volcano display. It basically changes the landscape once you start moving the sand,” says Bezilla.

“On the opposite side we have stationed the draw-alive exhibit,” she says. “We have different dinosaurs, about eight or nine, that people can color, write their name, then stick it under a scanner, they’ll scan it, and then it’ll pop up on a TV.”

Those who prefer to celebrate their birthdays, maintain their bubble, or have a night with the dinosaurs, can buy out a block of time now through April 15.

Many Hawai‘i Island families, especially since the start of covid, haven’t been able to explore exhibits like these, which is why ‘Imiloa decided to bring the dinosaurs to them, saving families from needing to cough up plane tickets.

“There are dinosaur exhibits that go to O‘ahu, but we couldn’t think of a time when dinosaurs [were on exhibit locally] in this generation’s lifetime,” says Bezilla. “They would have to leave the island, and not a lot of Hawai‘i Island people leave the island, let alone the state.”

‘Imiloa Astronomy Center is located on the campus of UH Hilo. Covid safety guidelines have recently changed, but visitors are still required to wear a mask indoors. However, patrons will no longer need to show proof of vaccination or negative test results.

Go to the ‘Imiloa website for information about purchasing tickets. UH Hilo and Hawai‘i Community College students are eligible for free membership at ‘Imiloa with proof of their registration.
