Nation’s Biggest Dinosaur Experience Migrates Indoors to OC

The largest and most realistic dinosaur exhibit in North America is BACK, BIGGER, and BETTER than EVER! More than 100 photorealistic dinosaurs are ready to delight families when Jurassic Quest® heads indoors in two SoCal locations to ring in the new year: Anaheim Convention Center (Dec. 29 - Jan. 2) and Ventura County Fairgrounds (Jan. 15-17).

Jurassic Quest is one of the first indoor family edutainment shows to re-launch since March 2020 due to the pandemic -- its drive-thru iteration sold out two Rose Bowl runs earlier this year -- and will return to SoCal with its most beloved and unique indoor experiences for the whole family including more than 100 life-like dinosaurs, dinosaur-themed rides and attractions, live dinosaur shows, interactive science and art activities, a “Triceratots” soft play area for our littlest explorers, photo opportunities, and more. 

Walk through the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic periods to see the dinos that ruled on land, and “deep dive” into the “Ancient Oceans” exhibit to come face to face with the largest apex predator that ever existed – a moving, life-size, 50-foot-long megalodon! Meet the babies, hatched only at Jurassic Quest: Cammie the Camarasaurus, Tyson the T-Rex and Trixie the Triceratops – and, you may even catch one of our star dino trainers: Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Captain Caleb, Prehistoric Nick, or Park Ranger Marty!  

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.
