Soon after technicians began removing the block of hard sandstone that covered Zuul’s massive body in 2016, it became clear there was much more to the specimen than originally expected, and the findings have been more exciting and complex than we could have ever imagined. As rock was carefully chipped away, incredible fossilized skin, body armour, and spikes were exposed along with a near perfect prehistoric turtle and other preserved plants and animals.  See this ground-breaking discovery on display in Zuul: Life of an Armoured Dinosaur, presenting sponsor Sinking Ship Entertainment, as of January 25 at 10:00 am. We think you’ll agree; the wait was worth it.  Plan your adventure Please note that on Thursday, January 24 from 2:30-5:00 pm, a section of the Zuul exhibition will be closed for the installation of Zuul's body.  EVERYBODY WALK THE DINOSAUR FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE Encore DinoNite Friday, January 25; 7:00 - 11:00 pm Separately ticketed Join us on the dance floor as we celebrate a special Friday Night Live Encore DinoNite, featuring complimentary access to the new ROM exhibition Zuul: Life of an Armoured Dinosaur, presenting sponsor Sinking Ship Entertainment.
