Jurassic Quest is the perfect event for dinosaur-loving family travelers. Walk among the dinosaurs during the realistic prehistoric event. Jurassic Quest opens in Atlantic City, New Jersey, at Atlantic City Convention Center for a limited run, Aug. 5–7.

 

Jurassic Quest’s animatronic dinosaurs appear in realistic scenes, where some even move and roar. Displays include a variety of dinosaurs, from babies to some of the larger predators. Event organizers work with paleontologists to ensure dinosaurs are realistic, from teeth size to skin texture.

 

Take part in live dinosaur shows and unique experiences like dinosaur rides. The event features interactive science and art activities including fossil digs. There is a soft play area for young children, and, for bigger kids, the event features bounce houses and other inflatable attractions. There are photo opportunities throughout the event. Walk through the exhibits to witness creatures of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods come to life.

 

Tickets cost $22 and are based on timed entry. Senior tickets are available for $19. Advance purchase is encouraged to ensure your desired date and time; however, tickets are available to purchase on site. Ticket price includes access to the dinosaur and marine exhibits, arts and crafts activities and dinosaur shows. Some rides require additional fees. Admission is free for children 2 and younger.
