This past weekend Jurassic Quest visited Dayton, Ohio. Jurassic Quest is an interactive dinosaur exhibit that is traveling the country. There is so much to see and do Jurassic Quest. A lot of the activities are geared more for kids under 10, but older kids, and adults will enjoy it too. We had the chance to check out this great event thanks to USFAMILYGUIDE.
When you first walk in, it feels like you are in prehistoric times. There is an entire section on moving dinosaurs of all kinds. We really enjoyed this section, there was so much to see.
I am not a dinosaur expert, but it seemed like there was representation for pretty much every kind of dinosaur. In this area you could read information about the dinosaurs, and watch videos from the Jurassic Quest experts on monitors.
There are also a few photo op areas, like being in a dino egg, or a T-Rex's mouth.
If you would like to learn about dinosaur fossils, they have some actual fossils to look at, and an expert there to answer questions.
Do you ever wonder what it might be like to ride a dinosaur? They have two different types of dinosaur rides with many different dinosaurs to ride.
For the littlest visitors there is a dinosaur themed play area. There were so many activities for kids to do such as inflatables, a fossil dig, excavation station, and Jurassic Jeeps.
One of my favorite areas was where you can meet the walking dinos. At designated times throughout the day, a young raptor greeted the guests. This was a lot of fun for the kids and adults alike. Also walking around the event were trainers with baby dinosaurs. While we did not meet one up close, we did get a glimpse of a little guy.
When you are done visiting, and if you would like to take a part of Jurassic Quest home with you, they had a very nice souvenir area. The biggest seller, and probably cutest souvenir are the walking dinosaur balloons.
We definitely enjoyed our afternoon, and I recommend going if your kids like dinosaurs. They have the schedule of upcoming locations at on their website JurassicQuest.com.
