MONSTERS! THE ART & TECHNOLOGY OF ANIMATRONICS EXHIBITION
The U.S. debut of Monsters! This intriguing exhibition allows visitors Òbehind the scalesÓ to see how cinematic creatures are made, from the storyboard process to the convincing specimens that actually appear on the big screen.
The brainchild of Academy Award-winning animatronics expert John Cox
and his Australian team of craftsmen, the exhibition showcases some of the stars of CoxÕs movie career and takes visitors on a journey of the creative techniques used in visual effects and movie animatronics.
MONSTERS! arenÕt just appearing in the EXPLORADOME at the Saint Louis Science Center, but also on the giant screen in the OMNIMAX¨ Theater.
Real monsters of the past are the stars of the amazing new film Dinosaurs Alive! Scientifically-accurate computer generated animation and exquisitely preserved 1920s footage of fossil expeditions, led by scientist and adventurer Roy Chapman Andrews, bring familiar prehistoric monsters back to life.
Admission to MONSTERS! is $8 for adults and $7 for seniors and
children and free for Saint Louis Science Center members. Admission to Dinosaurs Alive! is
$8 for adults and $7 for seniors and children. Visitors can view
both the exhibition and film for
a special $10 combo price. Discounts are available at certain exhibition sponsor locations.
