The largest and most realistic dinosaur exhibit in North America is coming to the Colorado Convention Center Friday, March 7 – Sunday, March 9, 2025. The exhibit features a life-sized scientifically accurate herd of dinosaurs, the largest rideable dinosaurs in North America, plus real fossils of T. rex teeth and a Triceratops horn.

Jurassic Quest provides unforgettable adventure, transporting families through 165 million years of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to roam among true-to-life versions of the creatures that once ruled the Earth. Loved by millions, Jurassic Quest is filled with the most hands-on activities, educational and fun events for families of all ages.

The Jurassic Quest team works in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur is painstakingly replicated in every detail, from coloration to teeth size, to textured skin, fur or feathers, drawing on the latest research about how we understand dinosaurs looked and moved. From the towering T.rex to the sky-scraping Spinosaurus to learning about lesser-known species, intricate details and lifelike movements provide an unparalleled level of realism that captivates children and adults alike. From the largest predators to playful baby dinos, dinosaurs are grouped in realistic scenes with others in their eras, allowing guests to experience them as they were when they roamed Earth millions of years ago.

With live dinosaur shows all day, Jurassic Quest is nonstop entertainment for children and adults alike. There are interactive science and art activities including a giant fossil dig.
