Jurassic Quest x Brick Fest Live comes roaring into the Rhode Island Convention Center Oct. 10–12. As the largest and most realistic dinosaur event in America, Jurassic Quest lets you stroll 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. Plus, the addition of Brick Fest, an interactive family LEGO®-inspired event, means brand-new attractions like a special Glow Zone filled with glow-in-the-dark bricks and life-sized displays. Here are our 5 reasons you shouldn't miss this year's Jurassic Quest x Brick Fest Live:
More Than 80 True-to-Life Dinosaurs
You won't want to miss the more than 80 true-to-life-size dinosaurs. Each dinosaur was created in collaboration with leading paleontologists to be sure every realistic detail was replicated. These dinosaurs roar, move and some even walk around.
The Fossil Dig
Aspiring paleontologists can unearth secrets like the ones that have been hidden for millions of years for a fun hands-on experience.
Dino Babies
Meet a baby triceratops or camarasaurus. These amazing lifelike puppets come out throughout the day for 30 minutes at a time, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.
It's Fun & Educational
Whether you listen to a dinosaur expert, test your knowledge at one of the Dino Science Stations, build with glow-in-the-dark LEGO® bricks or just walk around reading about each dinosaur, you'll have a blast and learn as well.
All Ages Welcome
Even the tiniest dino lovers can get in on the fun with the soft play "Tricera-tots" area for kids under 3. (Inside scoop: make sure your little one has socks, they're required for this area.)
