A zoo featuring animals that lived in the famous Hell Creek Formation, 66 million years ago.

Next to the entrance are a photo area where visitors can pose with an Acheroraptor and a playground on the opposite side.
The gift shop is themed after Montana fossil sites.

One of the first exhibits that greet visitors are the gentle and adorable Thescelosaurus.

Next to them is a building that houses smaller Hell Creek fossil fauna, including an aviary for the pterosaur Infernodrakon.

Right across from the Thescelosaurus exhibit is the mighty Tyrannosaurus.

Right across from this Cretaceous tank is another icon of its time, the Triceratops.

Across from this area is an exhibit for Ornithomimus.

Interesting picks

 

I haven't seen some of these, like the Infernodrakon or the alternate versions for Tyrannosaurus, Ankylosaurus and Triceratops

 

Pretty neat reconstruction of Hell Creek!! I'm now tempted to add some of these, like the Nanotyrannus, king of controversy!
