What did the film get right, and what was pure science fiction?
Dig into the real science behind one of the most iconic films of all time.
When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, it captured imaginations around the world and sparked a renewed fascination with dinosaurs. But how much of the science shown on screen was based in reality, and how much was pure Hollywood?
Join ReBecca Hunt-Foster, Park Paleontologist and Museum Curator at Dinosaur National Monument, for a fascinating look at what Jurassic Park got right, where it took scientific liberties, and what paleontologists have discovered in the 33 years since the film’s release.
You’ll also learn about the real dinosaurs found right here in northwestern Colorado, and how you can visit a real Jurassic landscape practically in our own backyard.
Then, if you’re joining us for the 2:00 PM performance, continue the adventure as the Steamboat Symphony Orchestra performs John Williams’ legendary score live to the complete film at Strings Music Pavilion.
