Big Idea Dinosaur Adventures is a performer-led dinosaur show with real fossils. Program content maps to Florida's standards by subject - Wonder Lab and Dinosaur Adventures to the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for science, Mystery Lab to B.E.S.T. ELA reading and comprehension benchmarks. Ask and we will send the connections for your grade bands. Operated by Big Idea Entertainment Tampa, serving Tampa Bay since 2025, with more than 200 events delivered. We serve the Tampa Bay area and travel for assembly programs, including south toward Fort Myers. Any travel charge is quoted up front, before you book.
One 45-minute session per grade level or grade band, run back to back across one date. Book one program or build a day from more than one.
Large-scale experiments your students watch happen in front of them, run by presenters who know how to hold a full assembly audience. Chemistry reactions, physics demonstrations, launches and electricity, sized so the back row sees everything. Five show variants means a school can book Wonder Lab several years running without repeating: Chemistry Chaos, Wacky Physics, Fire and Ice, Launch Lab and Power Lab.
A case opens, and the entire audience works it. Students examine evidence, follow the storyline, test what they are told and reach the answer as a group. Built around observation, deduction and inference, with reading comprehension and vocabulary running through it. The whole room solves it, not three volunteers.
Life-like dinosaurs and real fossils, with storytelling that carries Earth science and paleontology into a format elementary students stay with for the full session. Our longest-running program, and the one that has played to the largest audiences.
Florida splits its frameworks by subject. Science and Earth science sit under the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards; English Language Arts sits under B.E.S.T. We name both because a submission has to cite the right one.
Tell us what your submission needs to cover and we will send a detailed description of each program for your curriculum lead.
Send your preferred date, your student count and where the program will run. Auditorium, gym or cafeteria all work.
We recommend one session per grade level or grade band, scheduled back to back, so each show is tailored to the age and learning level of the students in the room. We will work with your school's timetable to make scheduling simple and seamless.
Our team brings the equipment, props and sound. Your staff walks the students in and watches.
Setup and teardown are ours. The space goes back exactly as we found it.
An auditorium, gym or cafeteria with room to comfortably seat the grade level or grade band attending each session.
One standard outlet within reach of the presenting area.
We bring everything else - presenters, equipment, props and sound.
Several sessions on one date is our standard booking, not an exception, and it is priced as one visit rather than as several. You give us the timetable and our team handles the resets between sessions, so classes move once and your schedule holds.
Assembly dates for the school year fill six to eight weeks ahead. Schools and districts book on a purchase order, and certificates of insurance are available on request.
Tell us your date, your student count and your space. We reply within one business day.
