The Birmingham Zoo is hosting a special “Dinos and Donuts” event Saturday, April 30.
Guests are invited to eat breakfast with the zoo’s Dino Guide before taking an early-morning guided tour through the Dino Discovery—They’re Back! exhibit. The event will be held from 8-9:30 a.m.
In March, the zoo brought the prehistoric giants back to life for the exhibit, set to run through July 31. Located in the Alabama Wilds area of the Junior League of Birmingham – Hugh Kaul Children’s Zoo, the exhibit features 12 life-sized, North American-native animatronic dinosaurs. The dinosaurs tower above zoo guests at heights of nearly 20 feet. The creatures weigh in at nearly 7 tons and measure 85 feet in length.
Tickets to Dinos and Donuts are as follows:

- Non-Member Adult: $16
