Jacksonville, FL. — The Dinosauria exhibit remains on display at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens and for all the dino-lovers out there are several things lined up for you to enjoy.

The next time you’re at the Jacksonville International Airport, take a selfie with the dinosaur there and according to zoo officials, you will get BOGO admission.

Later this month, visitors will be able to dine with the dinosaurs for the Dine-O-Nite after-hours event.

"Dine-O-Nite is a chance for guests to see the dinosaurs at night and enjoy a buffet dinner and DJ dance party," says JJ Vitale of Public Relations and Social Media.
