Hi there,
How did the dinosaurs live and when? What did the earth look like at the time of the dinosaurs? How did they manage among themselves? What animals existed before them and what animals we know today evolved from them? Why did the dinosaurs become extinct and how can we humans explore and discover the most hidden secrets of the dinosaurs? All these questions and more will be answered at the international dinosaur exhibition that has arrived in Jerusalem and will be displayed at the Botanical Garden this summer.
WHEN: July 24th-August 31st 2022
WHERE: The Botanical Gardens in Givat Ram, Zalman Shneor 1, Niyot, Jerusalem.
Starting from July 24th until the end of August, the Botanical Garden in Givat Ram in Jerusalem, in collaboration with the Jerusalem Municipality and the Ariel municipal company are inviting the general public, families, children, and adults, to go back in time and view the dinosaurs and their natural environment up close. Coming from Los Angeles, Brussels, and Korea, the exhibition has arrived in Jerusalem.
The children and the adults will be able to enjoy a unique encounter with about 45 interactive dinosaurs in life-size dimensions accompanied by information based on findings found around the world. The dinosaurs, some small and some huge, 7 meters high and 15 meters long, come to life with impressive technology, spread over a route of about a kilometer in the botanical garden.
The Botanisaur takes the guests on a journey of discovery through three different periods in the timeline: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous, and shows how the dinosaurs evolved and how they integrated into the environment and among their kind.
Throughout the route, the children will be able to solve a riddle that connects the wonderful world of the dinosaurs with the world we find ourselves in today. The children will get to know the plants that grew during the time of the dinosaurs, what they ate, and learn how today they can take part in preserving nature, and protecting endangered plants.
In addition, it will be possible to enjoy a variety of activities in the garden, a craft corner and a workshop, an excavation complex where the children can dig in the sand and discover dinosaur bones, a playful water complex, the tropical greenhouse, and the international art exhibition of augmented reality.
There is also a solo exhibition by the artist Ayala Netzer (Curator: Gabi Hamburg Pima | Soundtrack: Amir Gruman) that is on display till August 19th entitled "In the absence of any other motive, beauty is a reason to live" and on August 4th, she will lead a workshop for children entitled "Drawing flowers with your finger" at 16:00.
Last, but not least, in the garden, there is a photo area where you can take pictures of the kids riding on dinosaurs or hatching from large dinosaur eggs.
The University Botanical Garden in Givat Ram is a gem of nature in the heart of Jerusalem. The garden operates as an educational and research center and contains a diverse collection of plants from all over the world in a geographical display.
