The Jurassic Park Institute will use this as its foundation and will continue this commitment to authenticity. Dinosaurs were the most spectacular and some of the most successful animals ever to walk the Earth. Often times they are a child's first entry into the world of science and a subject of endless fascination and speculation among people of all ages. By its unprecedented support of scientific research, its public communication of the latest information in science education, its activities, exhibits and programs, The Jurassic Park Institute opens a new window into the greatest adventure in the history of life - the world of dinosaurs.
