The feature attraction is T. rex: The Ultimate Predator, where guests can meet the entire tyrannosaur family through life-sized models, fossil casts, and interactive experiences.
Presented by RBC and White Spot Restaurants, the epic exhibit will bring visitors face-to-face with the most iconic dinosaur in the world while revealing its amazing story.

Stop by the Atrium to learn about fasting in the animal kingdom with Mustaali Raj’s 30 Days of Ramadan. The art exhibit invites viewers to find joy in learning while fostering a deeper connection with nature.
