The exhibition will see magnificent landscapes and life-size creatures, such as mammoths and the Sabre-toothed cat, exhibited in their natural habitats.
Kim Phillips, media relations officer at The Phoenix Partnership, explained that the exhibition would mix science and entertainment, making it a fun event for families.
“Combining years of scientific research with the delightful, entertaining side of these massive, long-gone creatures, this exhibition will enthral and educate young and old at the Sandton Convention Centre this winter,” she said.
She added that the display would include 45 moving, life-size animals as well as 11 models in an interactive zone which is certified to be a hit with younger audiences.
Philips also said the exhibition was brought to South African audiences by the creators of the world-renowned days of the dinosaur exhibition and was a collaborative effort between You, Drum and Huisegenoot magazine
Edmund Beukes, marketing manager of Media24 lifestyle, added that “each part of this display has been carefully designed to show younger audiences a fascinating part of our earth’s history”.
The exhibition will be open to the public from 20 June and will be open for seven weeks only.
Exhibition times are Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 7pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 8pm.
