Jurassic Park Discovery Center

The Jurassic Park Discovery Center is an interactive walkthrough attraction located in the Jurassic Park section of Islands of Adventure. It is loosely based on the Visitor's Center featured in the 1993 film, Jurassic Park, as it features a different layout than what was seen in the film, while still featuring various skeletons and information on dinosaurs. The attraction opened with the park on May 28, 1999.

Background
The Jurassic Park Discovery Center is an interactive attraction with various exhibits and activities for guests, including trivia games, learning statues, and both life-size statues and skeletons of dinosaurs. It is similar to the Visitor's Center of the original film in the Jurassic Park franchise, but not identical, as it is missing many elements, the most notable being the banner that says "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth."

The centerpiece of the Discovery Center is a laboratory where dinosaurs are created by the Jurassic Park staff. Every once in a while, a short presentation will be shown where a scientist discusses the process of incubating dinosaur eggs for the park, and show a baby Velociraptor hatching from one of the eggs on display.

Trivia

 * Several nods to the film can be found in the laboratory. Among these are Dennis Nedry's embryo container disguised as a can of Barbasol shaving cream, and a figure of Mr. DNA made out of colored cotton balls.
 * Near the entrance of the Discovery Center, before descending to the lower floor where most of the exhibits and activities are, is a gift shop.
