MYRTLE BEACH — The Myrtle Beach Convention Center has gone prehistoric.

Discover the Dinosaurs is giving Grand Strand residents the chance to enjoy some family fun while learning what life was like 65 million years ago.

According to its website, the exhibit consists of more than 60 museum-quality and animatronic dinosaurs.

It runs throughout the weekend at the convention center, located at 2101 Oak St., in Myrtle Beach.

Steve Rosholt, the show manager, said this traveling extravaganza first started on Jan. 6 of this year. The group has been traveling to different cities across the country every week since, except for a break around the Easter holiday.

The exhibits take about two days to set up, Rosholt said, before it entertains children and children at heart.

“The T-Rex is always the big, popular one,” he said.

Ticket prices are $16 for adults, and $11 for children and seniors. Kids under 2 get in free.

The hours are Friday from noon to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
