Jurassic Quest thrills Jacksonville families this weekend at Prime Observation Center

JACKSONVILLE, Florida. – North America’s most popular interactive dinosaur event, Jurassic Quest, is coming to Jacksonville this weekend to showcase its incredible dinosaur experience and thrill hundreds of families at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center.

This three-day event offers an unforgettable adventure, transporting families through 165 million years of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to wander among life-like versions of the creatures that once ruled the Earth.

Loved by millions, Jurassic Quest is packed with hands-on activities, education and fun for kids of all ages:

• Realistic and scientifically accurate dinosaur herd (some move and roar!)

• Live dinosaur shows throughout the day.

• The largest rideable dinosaurs in North America

• Interactive science and art activities, including a giant fossil dig.

• Real fossil exhibit featuring T-Rex teeth, a triceratops horn, and a life-size dinosaur skull.

• Tricera-tots soft play area for our little explorers

• Bouncy castles and inflatable attractions

• Photo opportunities, face painting and more!

Other highlights: Enjoy the exclusive, all-day interactive raptor training experience and meet and pet the adorable, interactive baby dinosaurs, born only at Jurassic Quest: Cammie the Camarasaurus, Tyson the T-Rex and Trixie the Triceratops. Take the family on “The Quest,” a self-guided scavenger hunt-style activity where budding paleontologists can become junior dinosaur trainers and learn all about dinosaurs and time periods with the help of a fun, fact-filled video tour featuring our star dinosaur trainers: Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Prehistoric Nick and Park Ranger Marty (available on-site and on your phone via QR code).

The Jurassic Quest Herd: Jurassic Quest works in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur is painstakingly reproduced in every detail – from coloration to tooth size, skin texture, fur and feathers – based on the latest research into how we understand dinosaurs looked and moved. From the towering T. rex to the gigantic Spinosaurus, and learning about lesser-known species, intricate detail and lifelike movement provide an unparalleled level of realism that captivates kids and adults alike. From the largest predators to playful baby dinosaurs, dinosaurs are grouped in realistic scenes with others from their eras, allowing visitors to experience them as they were when they roamed the Earth millions of years ago.
