Unearthed: Dinosaurs come alive in Naples Botanical Garden exhibit

NAPLES, Fla.- Dinosaurs are coming back to life at the Naples Botanical Garden.

A new dinosaur and plant exhibit is highlighting conservation with very lifelike characters.

“It’s a good opportunity for us to talk locally about extinction. We work locally with a lot of groups, Fakahatchee strand, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens on plant extinctions that are happening around us as we speak,” said Chad Washburn with the Naples Botanical Garden.

Ten dinosaurs from different eras, and looking quite real are turning heads with their movements.

The Unearthed: Dinosaurs in the Garden exhibit is on display now until July 5.

The exhibit is on view daily from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. and included with regular Garden admission.
