My kids love dinosaurs, which is why our family went to Discover the Dinosaurs at the Minneapolis Convention Center a few years ago. As I shared a while back, it was pricey but fun. The event was in a big space at the Minneapolis Convention Center (same place again this year) and there were a ton of life-like dinosaurs and displays that were both interesting and educational. We all enjoyed it – kids and adults alike – and we spent 2-3 hours there. 
This upcoming event – Jurassic Quest – will be very similar.
What to expect:
Walk among a huge herd of dinosaurs created with paleontologists to be true-to-detail. Live your best dino life with fun-for-any-age activities: dinosaur rides, giant fossil dig, inflatables, fossil science exhibit, “Triceratots” soft play area, and MORE.
What’s to do there:
- Walk through the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic periods.
- Meet the babies – hatched only at Jurassic Quest – Cammie the Camarasaurus, Tyson the T-Rex, and Trixie the Triceratops. And you may even catch a star dino trainer: Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Prehistoric Nick, or Park Ranger Marty!
- Climb aboard some of the largest rideable dinosaurs in North America!
- Don’t miss the live Raptor Training experience.
- Dig for fossils, and check out real T-Rex teeth, a triceratops horn, and a life-size dino skull.
- Some activities are not included with general admission and require the purchase of activity tickets on site.
- Join us on “The Quest” – an interactive adventure to find clues throughout the exhibit and collect a prize at the end.
