WINNIPEG — The atmosphere was ‘wild’ on May Long Weekend as families experienced living in a prehistoric era with the opening of Assiniboine Zoo’s new exhibit, “Dinosaurs Alive!”.
Records were broken as the zoo experienced the highest visitation numbers on a long weekend as far back as 1991. Between the days of Saturday, May 21 and Monday, May 23, more than 15,000 people visited the zoo.
“We knew that Dinosaurs Alive would be a family favorite and this weekend’s attendance confirms how excited the community was to see the exhibit,” said Trevor Clearwater, Senior Director of Business Development and Sales in a news release.
“We were also delighted to see how many visitors purchased membership after their experience at Dinosaurs Alive, showing that they are excited to come back again.”
