Jurassic Quest is the only dinosaur event that has true to life size dinosaurs. From the very small, to the gigantic, sky-scraping dinosaurs that can only be seen at Jurassic Quest events. In collaboration with leading paleontologists, each one was painstakingly replicated in every detail. Whether their prehistoric counterpart had skin that was scaly, had feathers or fur, Jurassic Quest has spared no expense in bringing this realism to life. The dinosaurs roar and move, some even walk around. At times the line between our visitors watching the dinosaurs, and the dinosaurs watching them becomes blurry. The interactive baby dinosaurs are always a big hit and another feature that can only be seen at Jurassic Quest events. The baby dinosaurs love to see and play with our guests. They’ve been known to grab baseball caps right off of unsuspecting children’s heads, nibble at their shirts and even pose for pictures. Turns out, even when they grow up a little, they still love the attention. Jurassic Quest has adolescent dinosaurs that walk around and play with guests.
There are many attractions and activities for all kinds of dinosaur fans. Guests can dig up fossils like a real paleontologist, they can ride on the back of a huge 24ft T-Rex, or the spiky, overgrown, Carnotaurus. There are several different species to ride and guests always find their favorite. There are countless dinosaur themed rides throughout the event. Visit the fossil area in the dinosaur museum and see real dinosaur fossils dating back over 60 million years. Whether they are big or small, guests have a ball at Jurassic Quest.
