Bronx, NY 鈥 April 8, 2014 鈥 The 老司机福利网鈥檚 Bronx Zoo is inviting media to preview this summer鈥檚 newest attraction 鈥 Dinosaur Safari: Mysteries Revealed 鈥 on Saturday, April 12, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The exhibit will officially open to the public on the same day, but there will be two special tours for media with departures at 10:30 and 11:15 a.m.

The narrated ride, powered by Chevrolet鈥檚 all-new and redesigned 2015 Suburban and 2015 Tahoe, will take adventurers through a two-acre area of the zoo past more than 30 fully-animatronic dinosaurs as they move, snarl, and roar.

Nine new dinosaur species have been added this year including the deinonychus, prodohadros, stegosaurus, and edmontonia. Returning for the Dinosaur Safari: Mysteries Revealed, the ever-popular 40-foot long tyrannosaurus rex will send chills up the spines of Bronx Zoo adventurers.

At the end of the experience, there is a field site that includes a fossil dig for children; a Tyrannosaurus rex photo-op; a paleontologist鈥檚 tent that includes a fossil museum; and an interactive robotic dinosaur that illustrates how the animatronics work.

Dinosaur Safari: Mysteries Revealed is limited engagement and will run from Saturday, April 12 through Sunday, November 2. The attraction is included in the Total Experience Ticket.

Other Dinosaur Safari-themed activities and performances will take place throughout the zoo. Visit for schedules and event details.
