Life-size dinosaurs invade Indianapolis
Local families can load up their cars and check out Jurassic Quest, a drive -through experience with over 70 creatures in action.
Hop in the car and head to Indianapolis for an up-close experience with dozens of dinosaurs.
Jurassic Quest, a drive-thru experience, will be at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, 3751 Coliseum Ave. in Indianapolis, April 30 to May 9.
More than 70 photorealistic dinosaurs from the largest predators to playful baby dinos will be displayed in realistic scenes that allow guests to experience them roaring and moving as they drive through the tour.
Jurassic Quest worked with paleontologists to replicate how each dinosaur looked from color, texture and teeth size to how they swung their tails.
An audio soundtrack during the adventure, available in English and Spanish, is filled with kid-friendly facts about dinosaurs for the hour-long dinosaur experience.
There will also be opportunities to visit with one-of-a-kind baby dinosaurs and the Jurassic Quest team of dino trainers.
Tickets for Jurassic Quest are just $49 per vehicle (8 people or less) and must be purchased at www.jurassicquest.com.
