Dinosaurs In Motion
Nine Fiberglas dinosaurs are displayed, three of them moving figures, each set in the terrain and flora of its own geological period. Visitors follow a winding path through the garden to meet ostrichlike Struthiomimus, 6 feet long, then the ponderous Trachodon. 38 feet long and 16 feet high. Tyrannosaurus Rex, a meat eater, is shown attacking Triceratops, a plant eater. Nearby is the walking fortress, Ankylosaurus, and farther along the duck-billed Corythosaurus in its natural habitat, a lagoon. On the pavilion roof stands giant Brontosaurus, 27 feet tall and 70 feet long, its head swinging back and forth as it peers down at traffic on the Grand Central Parkway. On the path beyond the pavilion stands tiny Ornitholestes, and finally. Stegosaurus with a double row of fins and four long spikes on its tail.

The Evolving Earth
Within the building is a 45-foot-long exhibit with erupting volcanoes, flashing lightning and bubbling streams. This display shows the earth at various stages of its growth: its birth 4.5 billion years ago, the appearance of marine life and formation of oil 600 million years ago, the early dinosaurs 200 million years ago. Large color pictures and dioramas show Sinclair's operations and a view of the company's role in the future.
