Jurassic Adventure is an exhibition created by Dino Don Inc., a company founded by dinosaur expert "Dino" Don Lessem. Lessem was an adviser to Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" film, and he has supervised excavations and skeletal reconstructions of some of the largest dinosaurs ever found.Â
"We have gone to great lengths to ensure the most accurate dinosaur robots in the world, and dinosaur fans love them," Lessem said in a news release.
Lessem's exhibitions have attracted millions of visitors across the world. Currently, his company has exhibits on display at zoos and museums in New York, Texas, Denmark, Scotland and Germany, among others.Â
