Whether a dinosaur exhibition is successful, or more directly, whether it can attract more visitors and generate profit, depends on many factors. However, before the exhibition is presented to the public, successfully generating the desire of visitors to attend is particularly crucial.

Based on our experience, here are seven things you can do to ensure a successful dinosaur exhibition: “broken car,” “dead bodies,” “high-quality sound equipment,” “dinosaur claw marks,” “dinosaur footprints,” “armed personnel,” and “fake blood.”

QUICK FACTS:

#1. Prepare a broken car or scrap car
#2. Prepare fake “corpses”
#3. Prepare the audio equipment and play a terrifying dinosaur roar
#4. Prepare to arrange dinosaur claw prints in appropriate locations
#5. Prepare to arrange dinosaur foot prints in appropriate locations
#6. Prepare to deploy armed personnel for tasks such as warning or searching
#7. Prepare to set up fake blood at a specific location

1. Prepare a broken car or scrap car

Many people have likely seen jeeps cruising through Jurassic Park in movies and TV shows. These vehicles have become a classic mode of transportation for traversing various dinosaur habitats. To stimulate visitors’ adventurous spirit, placing a dilapidated jeep at the entrance of a “dinosaur exhibition” or “dinosaur park” is a highly effective way to evoke that feeling.

Of course, if you can’t find a jeep, you can use any wrecked or broken-down car. With proper arrangement, this vehicle will appear as a “vehicle destroyed by a giant dinosaur”.

How should do decorate this beat-up car?

• The goal is to create a flattened shape on the roof of the car, as if it had been trampled by a giant dinosaur.
• The car’s windows were broken and tattered.
• Put a Jurassic or dinosaur-themed logo on the hood of the car.
• They can put a fake doll corpse inside, which intensifies the sense of fear.

2. Prepare fake “corpses”

Remember in Jurassic Park, a group of security personnel intruded into the Velociraptor’s hunting grounds? They were all strangled and devoured by the incredibly fast birds of prey, leaving behind mutilated carcasses. Can you imagine such a scene being recreated in a dinosaur exhibition?

If fake corpses are prepared before entering the actual dinosaur adventure area, tourists will feel inexplicably afraid once they see these threatening scenes.

How should these bodies be arranged?

• The bodies were placed in cars or houses that had been trampled by dinosaurs.
• If the dinosaur exhibition has a vegetation area, some fake limbs or corpses can be placed in the “jungle”.
• The carcass could also be exposed directly under the mouths of dinosaurs as they were feeding.

3. Prepare the audio equipment and play a terrifying dinosaur roar

Since one is about to enter a “Dinosaur / Jurassic Adventure World“, hearing the roar of giant dinosaurs before entering the territory is an absolutely classic and useful effect. When visitors arrive at the territory, they will be shocked by the loud roar. Even if they have already entered the territory, the high-definition roars of various dinosaurs can add a sense of realism.

How to set up these audio devices?

• Firstly, 1-2 speakers should be installed at the entrance of the dinosaur exhibition or dinosaur park to play the roar of the Tyrannosaurus rex.
• Relevant audio equipment can be arranged at a distance of 5-10 meters in the park or exhibition area to play the roars of various dinosaurs or exciting and shocking music.
• The classic music from “Jurassic Park” can also be applied strategically.

4. Prepare to arrange dinosaur claw prints in appropriate locations

Another behavior that can evoke people’s imagination and sense of fear is the arrangement of “claw marks” of Tyrannosaurs or Raptors in appropriate locations. When tourists (especially children) see these claw marks, they will unconsciously heighten their vigilance and inner excitement, preparing to face the “invasion” from prehistoric beasts.

Where should the paw prints be arranged?

• At the entrance of a dinosaur exhibition or park, it is most appropriate to arrange bloodstained paw prints, which can instantly arouse visitors’ excitement.
• When you are about to meet the famous “Tyrannosaurus Rex” or “Velociraptor”, it’s also a good idea to set up bloodstained claw marks in advance.
• A large paw print can be set up at the end of the exhibition or park for visitors to take photos and become a popular attraction.

5. Prepare to arrange dinosaur foot prints in appropriate locations

The big dinosaur footprints are also props that can spark endless imagination among tourists. Before seeing the actual dinosaurs, tourists first see the footprints left behind hundreds of millions of years ago, which unconsciously makes them think they are about to enter the “Jurassic World“, causing a strange sense of excitement and fear in their hearts.

Where should the foot prints be arranged?

• At the entrance of a dinosaur exhibition or park, placing large dinosaur footprints (which can be exaggerated) is also the most suitable place to instantly arouse visitors’ excitement.
• If there are props such as broken cars at the entrance, footprints can be placed on similar props to enhance the realistic and terrifying atmosphere.
• You can also arrange the footprints in front of the more important large dinosaurs (such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Spinosaurus, and Giganotosaurus) so that visitors can see some prints first, and then see the actual giant dinosaurs.

6. Prepare to deploy armed personnel for tasks such as warning or searching

The presence of armed personnel at popular dinosaur exhibitions or parks is also a creative idea. Remember the security personnel (armed personnel) on the island who went into the jungle of carnivorous animals to carry out search missions in the Jurassic movies of 1993 and 2015? They all became meals for these “dinosaurs”. When tourists see these heavily armed personnel at exhibitions or parks, they feel both excitement and fear.

How can we utilize these armed personnel?

• Two or even multiple armed personnel can be arranged at the main entrance to carry out the task of “access instructions”, which can greatly create an “adventure” atmosphere.
• At the location of Velociraptors or other large carnivorous dinosaurs, it is entirely feasible to arrange performances featuring armed personnel engaging in shooting or hunting, which can perfectly complement the adventure journey of tourists.

7. Prepare to set up fake blood at a specific location

To evoke fear and excitement in visitors at a dinosaur exhibition or park, using some “fake blood” is a good choice. A blood-red wall or ground can give people the most direct visual impact and instantly fill the place with a terrifying adventure atmosphere.

How can utilize these fake blood?

• The most common setting is in a dinosaur hunting scene; when Velociraptors or Tyrannosaurs feed on their prey, they always leave a trail of blood around their mouths or on the ground.
• It can also be used in specific locations or settings, such as walls, fields, cages where dinosaurs are kept, inside laboratories, scenes of armed personnel fighting dinosaurs, and so on.
