PBS Kids' 'Dinosaur Train' Will Air One-Hour Special on Presidents Day

PBS Kids will air a special one-hour episode of 'Dinosaur Train' on Presidents Day called 'Submarine Adventure,' in which kids will learn about the Shonisaurus, Archelon turtles, and more prehistoric creatures.

Looking for a way to entertain your budding scientist over winter break? Dinosaur Train, an animated TV series on PBS Kids, will air a one-hour special on Feb. 18 at 9am. In “Submarine Adventure,” the show’s main character, Buddy, and his friends will take viewers on four new underwater journeys filled with previously undiscovered creatures. As they follow Buddy through a deep-sea maze, kids will encounter a Shonisaurus, a 30-ton fish lizard that has a large, thick trunk and sharp teeth. Viewers will also get a rare peak into the birth and lives of Archelon turtles, an extinct class of sea turtles that are among the largest in the world.

Dinosaur Train, which airs regular episodes each day at 9:30am on Kids Thirteen (10am weekdays on Thirteen), offers kids an exciting way to learn about the natural sciences. Best suited for children ages 3 to 6, the 30-minute program includes two 11-minute stories centered around Buddy, an inquisitive, preschool-aged T-Rex, and his many other dinosaur friends aboard the Dinosaur Train.
