JURASSIC QUEST, NORTH AMERICA’S BIGGEST DINOSAUR EVENT, UNLEASHES EPIC EXPERIENCE IN BIRMINGHAM

Visit the age of the dinosaurs when the continent’s most popular can’t-miss prehistoric adventure migrates to the BJCC August 9-11

 North America’s most popular interactive dinosaur event Jurassic Quest® has been thrilling millions of guests for over 10 years, and Birmingham-area families will soon get the chance to walk among the nation’s biggest herd of photorealistic dinosaurs when it visits the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) August 9-11!

This three-day event provides unforgettable adventure, transporting families through 165 million years of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to roam among true-to-life versions of the creatures that once ruled the Earth. Loved by millions, Jurassic Quest is filled with hands-on activities, education and fun for kids of all ages:

• Lifelike, scientifically-accurate dinosaur herd (some move and roar!)
• Live dinosaur shows all 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 dino skull
• “Tricera-tots” soft play area for our littlest explorers
• Bounce houses and inflatable attractions
• Photo opportunities, face painting, and more!

Other Highlights: Catch the one-of-a-kind interactive Raptor Training Experience regularly throughout the day, and meet and pet the sweet interactive baby dinosaurs, hatched only at Jurassic Quest: Cammie the Camarasaurus, Tyson the T-Rex and Trixie the Triceratops. Take your family on “The Quest,” a self-guided scavenger hunt-style activity where budding paleontologists can become Jr. Dinosaur Trainers, and learn all about the dinosaurs and time periods with the help of a fun and fact-filled video tour featuring our star dino trainers: Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Prehistoric Nick and Park Ranger Marty (available onsite 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 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 looked and moved. From the towering T.rex to the sky-scraping Spinosaurus to learning about lesser-known species, intricate details and lifelike movements provide an unparalleled level of realism that captivates children and adults alike. From the largest predators to playful baby dinos, dinosaurs are grouped in realistic scenes with others in their eras, allowing guests to experience them as they were when they roamed Earth millions of years ago.
