If you’ve been to a Jurassic Quest event, you know to expect gigantic photorealistic dinosaurs (some move and roar), dino shows, a giant fossil dig and more fun designed for your biggest little dino fans.
Jurassic Quest® will take over the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center in Edison over the holiday break (from December 27-30) and tickets are on sale. This three-day event was designed to take families on a journey through 165 million years of history, from the Triassic to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Visitors can get up close to lifelike dinosaurs and take part in a bunch of activities including:
- See the largest rideable dinosaurs in the country
- Watch live dinosaur shows
- Take part in interactive science and art activities, including a giant fossil dig
- Check out real fossils, like T-Rex teeth and a triceratops horn
- Hang in a “Tricera-tots” soft play area for younger kids
- Check out bounce houses, photo ops and face painting
Other highlights include an interactive Raptor Training and a meet-and-pet interactive baby dinosaurs experience. There’s also a self-guided scavenger hunt.
Organizers say Jurassic Quest works with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur is replicated accurately, from coloration to teeth size, to textured skin, fur and feathers. From the largest predators to baby dinos, dinosaurs are grouped in realistic scenes with others in their eras to allow visitors to imagine what it was like when these dinos roamed Earth millions of years ago.
Jurassic Quest will be held at the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center in Edison on these dates:
Friday, Dec. 27: 12-6 pm
Saturday, Dec. 28: 9 am-6 pm
Sunday, Dec. 29: 9 am-6 pm
Monday, Dec. 30: 9 am-6 pm
You can buy tickets in advance at jurassicquest.com, or on site. Ticket prices range from $22 for general admission to $36 for ultimate admission, which includes access to dinosaur rides, a T.Wrecks raceway, fossil dogs, an excavation station, themed inflatables and more.
