North Carolina Department of Education evaluators note that the program text is best suited for middle school students, but that younger students can easily use the visual and narrated areas of the program. Students wander the halls of a virtual dinosaur gallery and explore exhibits and activities. Clicking on exhibits leads to screens where information appears as text, narrated slides, videos, labeled diagrams, and animation. Students learn about dinosaur anatomy, movement, senses, feeding, and attack and defense skills. The World of the Dinosaurs section explores the development of dinosaurs during the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.
Interactive maps show sites of continental drift and dinosaur finds.
A series of video footage shows the excavation of a Tyrannosaurus rex in Montana. In an excavation area, students must find and assemble the bones of six dinosaur skeletons. Once assembled correctly, the dinosaurs come to life and roam the museum. Four prearranged tours of selected screens include an introduction to the museum and descriptions of how dinosaurs lived and evolved. An option to create a custom tour is also available.
