Dino Night is an after-dark flashlight dinosaur egg hunt! Strap on your headlamp*, grab some glow-sticks and brave the dark to find glowing dinosaur eggs stuffed with prizes. While every egg contains a prize, some eggs contain tickets to redeem dino-sized prizes like squishmallows, Lego sets and even an Instax Camera! RAWR!
Dino Nights this year are Friday, December 5th, 2025 and Friday January 16th, 2026. This event takes place partially outdoors rain or shine. Dress accordingly.

Dino Night Rules:
1. Guardians must supervise their children throughout the event.
2. All egg hunters must wait for the whistle to begin hunting eggs.
3. Guardians may not hunt for eggs or compile eggs--this event is for children.
4. Be safe. Rushing can cause injury--please look out for stairs and other people when you are hunting.
5. Be kind. Fighting over eggs or taking things that do not belong to you are not in the spirit of this event.
6. Guardians, set expectations: This is a game. Sometimes we get lucky and things go how we want. Sometimes when we play, they don't. Some hunters will get more eggs than others. Any egg can contain a special prize. Everyone will get at least one egg. It's about having fun, not the prizes.
7. Please return your flashlight to the flashlight bin!

Q: Can I purchase a ticket at the door? A: No. We expect this event to sell out, and we take lots of care to ensure we have enough eggs for every participant to find. You must purchase tickets in advance.
Q: I have a 3/PK-1st grader and a 2nd-5th grader, can my younger children and older children can hunt together? A: Unfortunately, no. Adults may accompany 3/PK-1st graders around the hunting grounds, but older siblings may not. We have had issues with adults and older siblings hunting the eggs themselves in this event, and we want to make the hunt as fair as we possibly can.
