Imagine traveling 3.5 billion years back in time. You begin your journey in the sea, surrounded by Earth's earliest and most primitive life. As the millennia zoom by, sea lilies bloom before your eyes, sea scorpions and the earliest squid swim past, trilobites appear. Soon you're out of the water and the air is filled with huge dragonflies. Foot-long centipedes crawl around you. A fin-backed protomammal cries out. Then, the dinosaurs appear!

In Prehistoric Journey, these mysteries of past life unfold in spectacular exhibits and awe-inspiring fossils. Witness the evolution of life, from inch-long corals, to an 80-foot-long Diplodocus, to a very famous human ancestor. It's an amazing journey!
