“Families can explore 165 million years of dinosaurs," said Carolyn Baker, Jurassic Quest dino trainer. “The fun and awe of seeing dinosaurs up close and personal in their life-size stature just really inspires a lot of curiosity for the history of the Earth and all the different creatures that have walked the Earth and that will walk in the future. I think it’s neat to really observe all the changes. I was thinking about it today like dog breeds. The dinosaurs have commonalities and also family lineage from when the continents were still all fused together.”

Some of the Jurassic Quest dinosaurs are animatronic. The big guys move. I touched them too. Kind of squishy. You can buy advance tickets here— https://t.co/CZTTVwzw7e @SPECNews1ROC pic.twitter.com/93BjPlrxUv
