The Akron Zoo is bringing dinosaurs to the zoo for summer 2025. DinoTrek will run May 10 through Sept. 14 and feature life-size animatronic dinosaurs.
There will be 20 dinosaurs, comprised of 15 different species, including a 60-foot-long Apatosaurus, 43-foot-long Tyrannosaurus rex, 33-foot-long Acrocanthosaurus and more. The majority of the dinosaurs will move and make noise.
Guests will also enjoy exploring the Dino Lab and Nursery with interactive and educational activities for children. At scheduled times throughout each day, guests can meet baby dinosaurs and a T-Rex character.
The animatronic dinosaurs will not disturb the zoo animals. The dinosaurs will not be on during zoothing hours.
DinoTrek is included with general admission and free for Akron Zoo members. The dinosaurs will be incorporated throughout the entire zoo, rather than in one location. DinoTrek is presented by Huntington Bank.
The Akron Zoo is open 361 days a year. Off-season hours are 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission rates are $11 – $21. Children under two are free and parking is free. For more information visit www.akronzoo.org or call (330) 375-2550.
