"Go outside, get into nature and make
your own discoveries!"
That is what Dr. Scott challenges his viewers to do at the end
of each Dinosaur Train episode. In support of this call to action,
The Jim Henson Company has hidden Dinosaur Train themed geocaches
nationwide with the help of local PBS stations and geocachers. To
find the location of other Dinosaur Train themed geocaches, simply
search for "Dinosaur Train" in the keyword search
option or check out this list of
Dinosaur Train Geocaches.
Each geocache celebrates a dinosaur featured in the Dinosaur
Train Field Guide on the PBS Kids website. This
geocache is the Velociraptor geocache. Velociraptor was a small,
feathered dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous. It has been
found only in Asia and lived in desert habitats with sand
dunes.
What is your favorite dinosaur? Be sure to tell us when
signing the logbook!
The cache is located in the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden which
is open daily from 9am to 4pm (Closed Christmas (December
25) and New Year's Day (January 1). On some weekends you can
participate in catch and release fresh water fishing. Just bring
bait (bread), they have poles. Like most places on this island
there will be mosquitoes, so come prepared.
Don't forget to write down the "Special Number" in the cache
that will help you find the Dinosaur Train Geocache:
Paleontologist.
