The film embarks on the adventure of a lifetime through tight passageways, down deep vertical shafts, and across searing cavern floors. Visitors will journey from the watery Caves Branch of Belize to the frozen kingdom of Eisriesenwelt, and from the gargantuan Sotano de las Golondrinas to the angry fires of the Hawaiian Lava Tubes.

Coming Soon... Dinosaurs 3D: Giants of Patagonia
Trailer If it weren’t for a series of cataclysmic events—a comet impact being first on the list—our planet could still be the domain of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs 3D follows Professor Rodolfo Coria, a world-renowned Argentinean paleontologist, as he visits sites of major discoveries in Patagonia and travel back in time to see these amazing beasts come to life. Patagonia has given us the largest living animal to have ever walked the Earth: the plant-eating Argentinosaur, and its nemesis, the Giganotosaur, a bipedal carnivore, that could easily challenge the famous T. rex. Deeply rooted in science, the film carries the audience through the lives of two specimens of these superb achievements of evolution.

Sea Rex 3D: Journey to a Prehistoric World
Trailer Visitors will experience a wondrous adventure as they join Julie, an imaginative young woman, as she takes a unique voyage through time and space. The film explores an amazing underwater universe inhabited by larger-than-life creatures which ruled the seas millennia before dinosaurs conquered the Earth and even includes a face-to-face encounter with the "T. rex of the sea!"

Sharks 3D
Trailer Presented by Jean-Michel Cousteau, Sharks 3D offers audiences an astonishing up-close encounter with the lions and tigers of the ocean. Visitors will come face-to-face with a multitude of shark species, including the Great White, Hammerhead, and the Whale Shark. The film depicts sharks as they really are; not malicious man-eating creatures, but wild, fascinating and endangered animals that have been in existence millions of years before dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
