Bucks County families can walk among the nation’s biggest herd of photorealistic dinosaurs when Jurassic Quest hits the Oxford Valley Mall May 6-15.
Jurassic Quest is one of the first indoor family edutainment shows to re-launch since March 2020 due to the pandemic. The unique experience includes life-like dinosaurs, some of the largest rideable dinosaurs in North America, live dinosaur shows, interactive science and art activities (such as a fossil dig), a “Triceratots” soft play area for the littlest explorers, bounce houses and inflatable attractions, photo opportunities and more.
Families can pick up a map at entry to embark on “The Quest,” an interactive scavenger hunt-style adventure with 10 clues leading them to meet dinos and prehistoric sea creatures, capture a Dino Snap, search for fossils, watch a live Raptor Training Experience and more, to earn a prize at the end (included with general admission).
Walk through 165 million years of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to learn about the creatures 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. You may even catch one of the dino trainers – Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Captain Caleb, Prehistoric Nick or Park Ranger Marty.
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 features, drawing on the latest research about how we understand dinosaurs and ancient giants of the sea looked and moved.
