Posted

ASHLAND, Neb. (KMTV) — Families and dinosaur lovers can now get an immersive experience at Lee G. Simmons Wildlife Safari in Ashland.

The experience will include some of the world's largest and most life-like robotic dinosaurs roaming the park beginning Friday.

The dinosaurs are scattered throughout the park to give an authentic feel to guests who visit.

“I say a lot for the safari park, like come out and see what Nebraska looked like 100 years ago. With the bison and the wolves, and bears. But now I can say, come out and see what Nebraska looked like a million years ago,” said Superintendent Gary Pettit.

The park is celebrating its 25th year of operation. Jurassic Adventure is included with admission to the park.

Memberships can be purchased on the zoo's website at any time or at guest services during zoo business hours.
