Your eyes aren't deceiving you, that really is a Tyrannosaurus Rex holding our beloved Jayhawks flag.
It's about to be a lot more common than you think, because this new park in Kansas is all about the prehistoric giants that we can't get enough of.
Welcome to Field Station: Dinosaurs, a special park full of life-sized models of these scaly friends of ours.
There's plenty of activities to do, including interactions with big and small moving dinosaurs, mini golf, a domed challenge course, and black-light puppet shows.
Interacting one-on-one with these dinosaurs is the best part, of course.
The paleontologist's laboratory is a great place for kids to get hands-on and chip away at a fossil they'll bring home as a souvenir.
Not only will everyone be having fun at this new park, but you'll learn something as well.
Information given about the dinosaurs comes from the source - paleontologists themselves. Information about these dinosaurs is as accurate as we can get without actually traveling back in time.
There's something special about putting your head in a dinosaur's mouth.
