Enthusiastic children's presenter Blippi explores a dinosaur exhibition, identifying fossil teeth, massive skeleton models and realistic animatronic dinosaurs. The fifteen-minute video is highly colourful and fast-paced, featuring Blippi's signature high-pitched commentary and upbeat kids' music. While it offers simple facts about herbivores and carnivores, the high energy and repetitive sound effects make it a daytime watch. It is best suited for active preschoolers.
