About Jurassic Quest

Jurassic Quest offers unique and exciting experiences for the whole family. There’s no better place to make pter-iffic memories, playing with adorable baby dinos, excavating fossils, and even training a raptor, while surrounded by behemoths like sky-scraping Spinosaurus, Apatosaurus, an incredible 50-foot-long Megalodon, and the king of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus Rex! A few of the show’s highlights include:

Ride a Dino
Jump on a dino’s back and hang on tight! Some of the shows animatronic dinosaurs are ridable and kids always find their favorite.

Explore Bounce Houses
The show’s dinosaur-themed bounce houses are full of roars … of laughter. Jurassic Quest also includes bounce houses designated specifically for small children. (Note: socks are required and sold at the event.)

Create a Dino Craft
Create a paper dinosaur, color a dino, or choose from other exciting crafts at the free crafts table.

Dig for Fossils
Paleontologists of all ages are welcome – uncover ancient secrets like triceratops and T-rex “fossils” and more at the science tables.

If you think the huge dinos are awesome … just wait until you meet the baby Triceratops, Camarasaurus and more! A guest favorite, the baby dinos are amazingly life-like and cute.
