‘Dinos Alive’ exhibit comes to DC

A time machine has landed in a Northeast D.C. shopping center. The exhibition, Dinos Alive: An Immersive Experience, is inviting guests on a family-friendly adventure with more than 80 life-size dinosaur specimens.

Located in the same development that currently houses the exhibition, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, Dinos Alive offers realistic prehistoric installations and animatronics. There is also a virtual aquarium with VR technology as well as other interactive rooms that allow for educational activities.

The exhibition is accompanied by an optional smartphone app that includes a map of the exhibition and a QR scanner to learn more about each dinosaur showcased.



The entire experience lasts between 45 to 75 minutes. Ticket prices start around $20 and go up for VIP admission. Dinos Alive is open seven days a week with varying hours at 524 Rhode Island Avenue NE.

Dinos Alive comes from two organizations: Fever, a global entertainment discovery platform that was behind the Banksy exhibition and The Office exhibition in D.C.; and Exhibition Hub, which is a curator, producer and distributor of large exhibitions around the world, including Claude Monet: The Immersive Experience.

US strikes Iran and Tehran fires back as hostilities flare again

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military hit targets in Iran on Tuesday and Tehran fired missiles and drones in response as hostilities flare once again in an intermittent war that has lasted more than six months. The U.S. strikes followed others on Sunday that abruptly ended a month without military action and threatened to fully reignite a conflict that has spiked global oil prices and posed political problems for Republicans in November's midterm congressional elections. The renewed fighting comes after President Donald Trump had appeared to pivot toward trying to bend Iran to his will through economic sanctions. “If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings,” Trump warned on social media. U.S. Central Command said the latest strikes were in response to Tehran trying to attack commercial ships and American forces in the Middle East. Trump offered an additional explanation, telling Fox News in a phone call that U.S. forces struck Iran's radars.
