Jurassic Quest returns to Del Mar Fairgrounds in January

The interactive dinosaur event Jurassic Quest, with the biggest herd of photorealistic dinosaurs, will visit the Del Mar Fairgrounds from Jan. 17-20.

Jurassic Quest provides 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. Jurassic Quest is filled with hands-on activities and educational events for families.

• Lifelike, scientifically accurate dinosaur herd (some move and roar).
• Real fossils like T-Rex teeth, a triceratops horn, and much more.
• Live dinosaur shows all day and meet baby dinos.
• The largest rideable dinosaurs in North America.
• Interactive science and art activities including a giant fossil dig.
• Dino rides, bounce houses, and inflatable attractions.
• “Triceratots” soft play area for junior explorers.
• Photo opportunities, face painting, and more.

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. Park Rangers, and learn all about the dinosaurs and periods with the help of a fun and fact-filled video tour.

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.
