Connect your life to wildlife at the North Carolina Zoo as you explore 500 acres of exhibits carefully constructed to resemble natural habitats. Walk from Africa's grasslands to North America's Arctic coast and learn how the Zoo works to conserve and protect wild things and places as you discover more than 1,100 animals, 40,000 plants, and an extensive outdoor art collection.
Time Warner Cable now presents "Dinosaurs," through October 2012. Venture into a deep forest full of animatronic dinosaurs and ancient plants. See a towering Brachiosaurus, a roaring T-Rex guarding her nest, and you'd better watch out for those spitting Dilophosaurus! During your outdoor trek back in time, encounter 15 amazing life-like dinosaurs and make some incredible discoveries of your own. Explore a paleontologist's tent and get the latest scoop on fossil sites in North Carolina. At the end of your excursion, dig around in the fossil pits for an ancient relic to take home or climb aboard a yellow jeep for a family photo - just be careful of the T-Rex!
