Dinosaurs come to life at Botanica gardens

19 May 2023

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Visitors at Botanica Wichita will see dinosaurs moving around the flowers for the next several months because the gardens have been transformed into a prehistoric jungle.

The Dinosaurs Around the World exhibit opens Saturday, May 20. It features 10 animatronics, including a Tyrannosaurus rex, Herrerasaurus, and an Oviraptor. These are not small animatronics. Several are over 27 feet long.
