JURASSIC QUEST, NORTH AMERICA'S BIGGEST DINOSAUR EVENT, RETURNS TO CANADA IN APRIL 2023
Walk among the dinosaurs when the continent's can't-miss dinosaur adventure begins its migration in Western Canada
HOUSTON, March 9, 2023 /CNW/ -- The largest and most realistic dinosaur exhibit in North America is BACK and BETTER than EVER! Our herd of photorealistic dinosaurs are ready to delight families across the country when Jurassic Quest® launches its biggest Canadian tour ever in April.
Jurassic Quest will migrate to cities throughout Canada with its most beloved and unique experiences for the whole family including life-like dinosaurs, dinosaur rides, live dinosaur shows, interactive science and art activities, bounce houses, inflatable attractions and more. The first eight cities are on sale now with additional cities and dates to be added soon!
Loved by millions, only Jurassic Quest can bring families memories this BIG! The Jurassic Quest herd of animatronic dinos – from the largest predators to playful baby dinos – are displayed in realistic scenes with some that move and roar, allowing guests to experience them as they were when they roamed the earth billions of years ago. Jurassic Quest works in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur is painstakingly replicated in every detail, from coloration to teeth size, to textured skin, fur or feathers, drawing on the latest research about how we understand dinosaurs and ancient giants of the sea looked and moved.
New for 2023! Jurassic Quest is bringing more hands-on activities, education and fun. This evolution, Jurassic Quest includes an expanded Excavation Station and more Jurassic-themed rides and inflatables. Even our animatronic herd has expanded to include fan favorites, the Utahraptor and Giganotosaurus. In addition to "The Quest," a self-guided scavenger hunt style activity where budding paleontologists can become Jr. Dinosaur Trainers, Jurassic Quest has launched a new video tour that's already getting "roaring good" reviews from families and features our star dino trainers: Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Prehistoric Nick and Park Ranger Marty (available onsite and on your phone via QR code)! All expanded activities are included with general admission.
