After a 65-million-year absence from Earth, DINOSAURS have made a grand entrance into Southern California. Dino Quest, the interactive exhibit that includes life-size dinosaurs, an electronic interactive quest and an online dinosaur videogame, opened summer 2006.

	Kids, after you play Dino Quest at Discovery Science Center, play Dino Quest Online at home!
	Dino Quest is the world’s first interactive, electronic dinosaur exhibit where guests are actually players interacting with the scientists at Dino Quest Headquarters and solving challenges as characters in a video game that has “come to life”.  Dino Quest remembers your progress so that you can return and start from the same level as when you last played the game.
	Players become “research assistants”, complete with research transmitters, and receive challenge quests from the scientists at Dino Quest Headquarters. Players search throughout the exhibit for the answers to the research missions and, using the infrared transmitter, communicate back to the scientists worldwide when they think they have found the answer.
	Exhibits are hands-on and interactive – walk inside a giant two-story tall Argentinosaurus, manipulate the organs of the dinosaur and learn how body systems work and relate to each other.
	Solving a series of research missions gives the player the opportunity to go on an Adventure – such as capturing a T-Rex that has escaped its cage and is on the loose! Solve the challenges and become a Dino Tracker.  See the giant T-Rex, an exact replica of an actual fossil named Stan, and learn all about these fearsome ancient predators that once ruled the Earth.
	Dino Quest, a permanent exhibit, is part of Discovery Science Center’s $7.5-million dollar expansion, the largest in the Science Center’s history. By combining an interactive quest and dinosaurs as life-size models for the heart, digestive system and more, the exhibit provides hands-on education that aligns with the California Science Standards for the K-6 grades.
