| Hey, kids! What time is it? It’s dinosaur time at the Witte. In just a few more days our galleries will be fully infested with the gigantic, moving, roaring … and sometimes feathered … beasts. Even now, your family can see the 22-foot T-rex on the Witte front lawn. This is a good time to be a Witte member. You’re family will want to visit again and again. | | Events & Programs | | | Dinosaurs Unearthed
