Here’s your chance to come face to face with a Tyrannosaurus Rex or take a peaceful paddle boat ride along Waterfowl Lake at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

CLEVELAND — Dinosaurs are taking over the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo as the limited-time Dino Cove experience opens to the public Wednesday, giving guests the opportunity “to get close to the largest animals to ever walk the earth.”

Dino Cove features more than 25 animatronic dinosaurs, photo ops and hands-on experiences like a fossil dig pit.

Admission to Dino Cove is $3 for members or $4 for non-members. General zoo admission is also required. It’s included in the Wild Savings Pass for $14.75, which gives guests access to Dino Cove, and one-day unlimited rides on the Circle of Wildlife Carousel, Boomerang Line train rides and 4-D Theater.

SWAN VOYAGE

For the first time ever, guests at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo can paddle through Waterfowl Lake on new trumpeter swan boats that seat up to five passengers.

An official opening date has not yet been announced, but the Cleveland Zoo says Wild Savings Pass holders will save a dollar off the Swan Voyage experience.

“We are always looking for ways to enhance the experience for our guests by creating unique opportunities to experience the Zoo,” said Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Executive Director Dr. Chris Kuhar. “With the addition of Dino Cove and Swan Voyage near the Eagle Zip Adventure, Waterfowl Lake will be the Zoo’s entertainment hub this season.”
