October 5-7, Jurassic Quest comes roaring into the Rhode Island Convention Center. As the largest and most realistic dinosaur event in America, Jurassic Quest lets you walk through the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic Periods of time on Earth to see what it would be like to walk among the dinosaurs. Jurassic Quest also has more than 10 other attractions for the entire family to enjoy. Here are our 5 reasons you shouldn't miss this year's Jurassic Quest:
