Jurassic Quest will be stomping into the Los Angeles area in the New Year beginning Friday, Jan. 15, where VIP guests will enjoy a drive-through experience at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

The COVID-19-safe show features more than 70 true-to-life size dinosaurs and prehistoric marine creatures. Already more than 500,000 cars and 1 million people have seen the show across the nation.

Billed as North America’s largest and most realistic dinosaur event, guests journey through the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods and experience for themselves what it might have been like to be among dinosaurs of all kinds.

Jurassic Quest is the only interactive dinosaur event that has over 100 life-size animatronic dinosaurs in each of its touring shows from the very small to the gigantic. In collaboration with leading paleontologists, each dinosaur has been painstakingly replicated in every detail. Whether their prehistoric counterpart had skin that was scaly, had feathers or fur, Jurassic Quest has spared no expense in bringing the dinosaurs to life.

Jurassic Quest exhibits also allow future paleontologists to dig up fossils, ride their favorite life-sized dinosaur, enjoy walking dinosaur and baby dinosaur shows, and enjoy a dinosaur themed play land in addition to other crafts.

The new Jurassic Quest “Drive Thru” version of the show features over 70 life-like dinosaurs including the very popular T. Rex, Spinosaurus and Triceratops. Jurassic Quest’s herd of animatronic dinosaurs are displayed in realistic scenes that allow guests to experience them roaring and moving from their own vehicles  as they drive their way through the tour. Baby dinosaurs greet guests and bring big smiles to explorers of all ages. During the drive-thru experience, guests are guided by an engaging and informative digital audio tour featuring show entertainers and dinosaur wranglers that lasts about an hour. Guests stay in their cars throughout the tour with limited contact, if any, with staff who wear masks, social distance and follow all state and local guidelines regarding health and safety. To further ensure the safety of patrons and staff, all equipment and workstations undergo regular sanitization throughout the show. All attendees receive a free, safari-style family photo in their vehicles set against a dinosaur backdrop as a memento of their experience.

The show will run through Jan. 31 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays.
