Dinosaur Dimensions Expedition bringing family adventure to the Raue Center

Get ready for a roaring, jaw-dropping adventure that brings dinosaurs to life like never before!

Dinosaur Dimensions Expedition comes to the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake on Saturday, April 18, offering families an immersive, high-energy experience.

Dinosaur Dimensions Expedition is a state-of-the-art live performance that combines cutting-edge animatronics, dazzling visuals, and high-energy storytelling for the ultimate family-friendly adventure.

Watch in awe as an eight-foot-tall Dilophosaurus roams freely through the stage area, while a massive 24-foot-long Brachiosaurus neck dramatically emerges from backstage.

Five additional dinosaur animatronics, including puppets, over-the-shoulder dinos, and walking creatures put audiences right in the middle of the action.

Set inside a vibrant, elaborate “Jungle Laboratory,” the show features colorful scenery packed with props, foliage, multimedia elements, and special effects paired with thrilling science experiments.

A cast of engaging on-stage characters leads audiences through a fast-paced, high-energy storyline, complete with a robotic dinosaur that moves on its own and interactive moments that keep everyone on the edge of their seats.

“This is more than a show — it’s an immersive journey where kids and adults alike can experience the thrill of dinosaurs up close,” said Justin Wellington, Raue Center’s managing director. “We can’t wait to see families roar with excitement!”

It will be at 1 p.m. at the Raue Center, 26 N. Williams St. in downtown Crystal Lake.
