Walk alongside life-size animatronic dinosaurs at Nashville Zoo’s DinoTrek!

Journey along the trail and encounter over 20 dinos that hiss, spit, move, and even roar on this wild prehistoric adventure. The trail begins on a hidden path near the Zoo's Historic Grassmere Home and Farm. Educational signage located by each dinosaur allows dino-enthusiasts to learn fun facts about their familiar favorites and lesser-known dinosaurs.

New species to DinoTrek this year include the Brachiosaurus, Deltadromeus, Dimetrodon, Giganotosaurus, Iguanodon, Ornithomimus, Plateosaurus, Stegosaurus, Therizinosaurus and Triceratops.

Meet an expectant Tyrannosaurus Rex mother and guess when their egg will hatch for a chance to win a Nashville Zoo membership. (Go to NashvilleZoo.org to make your prediction!)

Spot some returning favorites that include the Baryonyx, Coelophysis, Dilphosaurus, Megalosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex. As explorers venture through the DinoTrek trail, they will walk in the middle of a predator face-off between the Giganotosaurus and T-Rex.

Visitors will also come face-to-face with the new 23-foot-tall Brachiosaurus. This long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic era is the first design of its kind to be featured in the United States.
