The Jurassic Quest Experience
Why choose Jurassic Quest over other dinosaur events?
Jurassic Quest is North America's largest animatronic dinosaur exhibit with a whole herd of life-sized, realistic dinosaurs and activities for the whole family! We have been entertaining families since 2013 as the longest-running dinosaur event, but every year, we have grown into a bigger and better show. We have three touring shows and are celebrating our tenth anniversary in 2024.
Besides the fact that we are the largest event of our kind, we are also fun and educational, housing the most scientifically accurate dinosaurs around! We have lifelike baby dinosaurs that interact and play, as well as a Raptor Training Experience. The babies come out to visit throughout our event and are one of the highlights of our exhibit. In addition to themed activities, including inflatables designed to get your child's sillies out through active play, we also have our Fossil Experience and a virtual exhibit tour - Tyrano-TOUR-us - that will teach you about prehistoric life. At Jurassic Quest, we believe that dinosaur education and play serve as a 'gateway science,' inspiring children to develop a broader interest in other scientific disciplines!

Which dinosaurs can be found at Jurassic Quest events?
Although not every Jurassic Quest event showcases the same dinosaurs, each show includes an exhibit displaying dinosaurs from a wide range of species that existed over a span of 160 million years. These remarkably detailed dinosaurs have been meticulously crafted in collaboration with renowned paleontologists to ensure they are scientifically accurate as possible! Plus, while your kids are having fun and learning along the way, they will also be burning off their energy too!

Is Jurassic Quest an indoor event?
Jurassic Quest events are usually held indoors, unless otherwise indicated when youmake your online purchase. In some cases, there may be activities or exhibits set up outside the venue or in multiple buildings for your family to enjoy.
How much time should we allow to enjoy Jurassic Quest?
Jurassic Quest is a self-guided experience featuring more true-to-life dinosaurs than any other touring dinosaur event, as well as dinosaur rides and a ton of activities. We recommend planning 1-2 hours to experience everything at your own pace.
Please note that the entry doors close one (1) hour before the event closing time each day. You should arrive at least 2 hours before the event closing time for maximum enjoyment.

Attendance
When is the best time to attend to avoid the busiest times?
Our events are usually less busy on Fridays, or during the late afternoon/early evening on Saturdays and Sundays.
Can we bring a stroller or wagon?
Jurassic Quest indoor events are stroller and wagon friendly.
How much do individual activity tickets cost?
Activity tickets are $6 in the U.S. ($8 in Canada) and are required for children with General Admission tickets or children under 2 years old who want to participate in the paid activities. Activity tickets are necessary for rides, inflatables, and more. Kids: Ultimate ticketholders do not need activity tickets for the activities included. However, please be aware that premium activities such as face paint, and green screen photo keepsakes are not included with any ticket.
Does Green Screen Photography and Face Paint cost extra? Where do I purchase these options?
Face Painting and Green Screen Photography are not included in any of the ticket types. These two activities are an additional charge at the event. Guests may purchase upsells at the Dino Store retail stand or any available self-serve kiosk.
Is it possible for a child under 2 to participate in the activities?
Children under two years old can enter for free and do not need a General Admission ticket. Your child is welcome to explore the dinosaur exhibit, watch the dino baby show, experience the Raptor Training, and play in the Tricera-tots soft play area.
If your child under two years old would like to ride the dinosaur rides, play on the dino inflatables, take part in fossil digs, or visit the excavation station, you will need to purchase individual Activity Tickets at any Souvenir stand inside the event. Activity Tickets cost $6 each in the U.S. ($8 in Canada), and each ticket allows for one turn on one ride or activity.
*The larger attractions require a minimum height of 36 inches. All dinosaur rides and inflatable attractions have a maximum weight limit of 140 pounds and a maximum age limit of 10 years old. Socks are required for inflatables. Face Paint and Green Screen are not included in any ticket type.
What is the experience like on the Dino rides?
We offer two types of Dinosaur Rides: stationary and walking. Our stationary Dinosaur Rides are the largest ones we have. They are animatronic and stay in one place while providing movement. On the other hand, our Walking Dinosaur Rides are smaller and move forward at a slow pace. Additionally, we have the T. Wrecks Raceway, where guests can drive battery-powered jeeps in a closed circular lap.
If my child is injured or wearing a cast, can they still go on the rides?
For safety reasons, we strongly advise against allowing any injured child to ride on the stationary, walking rides, or bounce houses. This is because these rides require children to be lifted from under their arms. If a child is unable to grip the handlebars or cannot be lifted, they will not be able to participate in these rides.
What will my child need to participate in all activities? Do I need to bring anything from home?
Socks are required for participation in the inflatables and our Tricera-tots soft play area. If necessary, socks can be purchased for $1 ($2 in Canada) at the Dino Store.
What are the height, weight and age requirements for the rides and inflatables?
The largest stationary dinosaur rides and the largest inflatable attractions have a minimum height requirement of 36". However, there are several other stationary dinosaur rides, walking dinosaur rides, and inflatable attractions that smaller children can enjoy. All dinosaur rides and inflatable attractions have a maximum weight limit of 140 lbs. and a maximum age limit of 10 years old. Additionally, there is a dedicated toddler "Tricera-tots Area" with soft play equipment and a toddler bounce house for children under 3 (socks are required).
Can I wear an inflatable costume or dress up in cosplay?
We have a policy against wearing inflatable costumes. However, we do encourage both adults and children to participate in cosplay and wear traditional non-inflatable costumes. The reason for this policy is that inflatable costumes have the potential to damage exhibits and disrupt the experience of other guests.
I lost an item at the event.
If you discover that you have lost something while still at the event, please report it to one of the team members at the online check-in. They will be able to coordinate with show management to check if your lost item has been found. After the event, you can email customerservice@jurassicquest.com with the details of the show, city, and lost item, and our team will conduct a search to determine if it has been found. If your item is located, arrangements will be made for its return. It is advisable to also contact the venue directly, as lost items often remain there.

General Admission tickets come with the option to purchase individual activity tickets for rides, inflatables, and other activities for youth ages 2-10. Guests may also choose to upgrade to the Kids Ultimate ticket once on-site (at the Dino Store). We recommend the Kids Ultimate ticket, which allows kids to ride, bounce, dig, learn, and play as much as they want. Parking is not included with admission.
We also offer a retail location to purchase souvenirs, face paint, green screen photo keepsakes and additional activity tickets or premium upgrades.

Can we bring food into the exhibit?

You can contact the venue to ask about their policy on outside food and drinks. The venue does offer food for purchase.
Will the Megalodon be at the event?
The Megalodon, along with Ancient Oceans, is not currently included in this tour's attractions. While the species of dinosaurs may vary at each Jurassic Quest event, every show features an exhibit spanning over 160 million years of dinosaurs. If you want more information about the Megalodon, you can check out a Megalodon tooth at the Fossil Table and take fun photos with the Megalodon inflatable. When Ancient Oceans returns to our lineup, we will share the details on our social media platforms.
