Admission to Dinosaur Island is $3 for general admission, $2 for Columbus Zoo members, and free for Columbus Zoo Gold members, as well as included in the price of a ZooMore ride wristband. The biggest dinosaur guests will encounter will be the Brachiosaurus, standing 30 feet tall and 65 feet long.Ī special admission ticket is required for entrance and is not included with Zoo admission.

The dinosaurs will be assembled over the next few weeks and then placed via crane onto the island. Guests can enjoy this expedition by foot and on the island boat ride in the Zoo’s Australia and the Islands region. The dinosaurs began arriving at the Columbus Zoo on Monday, April 26, and were unloaded from trucks by forklifts and other heavy equipment. The result is a thrilling experience that is sure to captivate dinosaur lovers of all ages! Made of steel with silicon waterproof skin, the dinosaurs have eyes that shift and blink, tails that move, bodies that breathe, and electronic “brains” that activate and control their movements and sounds. During this experience, guests will discover more than 30 animatronic dinosaurs. This prehistoric adventure transports guests 251 million years to the start of the Paleozoic Era, when the Rhynchosaurs and Cynodonts first appeared. Guests can expect returning favorites, including the Brachiosaurus, as well as 15 new dinosaurs.

Powell, OH - Thanks to popular demand from our supportive community, Dinosaur Island at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is back from extinction! This exciting attraction will open on Memorial Day Weekend (Saturday, May 29), and run until the end of October.
