With the new Jurassic Park movie raking in millions of dollars at the box office, dinosaurs are once again at the front of public consciousness. But millions of years ago, when there was very little public consciousness, were there dinosaurs running around what is now Illinois?
Jurassic Gardens in Volo, Illinois offers a true prehistoric experience with animatronic dinosaurs, real dinosaur fossils and skeletons, and SOO much more.
After the news recently broke about the new discovery of an ancient relative of the velociraptor on Great Britain's Isle of Wight, we couldn't help but wonder if there have been dinosaur fossils found here in the Land of Lincoln.
If you have kids, grand-kids, nieces or nephews that absolutely love dinosaurs, then you need to take to "Discover the Dinosaurs" this weekend.
If you're looking for something fun for the kids but are a little low on cash this week, then check into the free day at the Burpee Museum of Natural History tomorrow.
