Jurassic Quest Experience Coming to Illinois

Every time I watch one of the Jurassic Park movies I find myself wishing that I could actually visit a park like that, (minus the dinosaurs running around killing people). If you have ever wished the same thing, or have dinosaur-obsessed kids in your life, get ready for the next best thing coming to Illinois this October.

Jurassic Quest Is Coming to Illinois

Billed "The #1 Dinosaur Experience in North America", Jurassic Quest has over 80 "true to life size", animatronic dinosaurs that you can see, touch, and interact with!

Here are just a few of the fun things your family can do during your visit to Jurassic Quest:

Ride a dino
Dig for fossils
Walk with dinosaurs
Discover ancient sea creatures
Meet baby dinos
Make dino crafts

Jurassic Quest's Facebook describes the experience like this;

guests will walk through the Cretaceous period, the Jurassic Period and The Triassic period and experience for themselves what it was like to be among living, breathing dinosaurs.

Before I tell you when and where you can experience Jurassic Quest in Illinois, let me answer a few questions I'm sure your kids will be asking;

Do they have a T-Rex? Yep!

Will any dinosaurs play with me? Absolutely!

Are there other cool ancient creatures to see other than dinosaurs? Of course!
