Get ready for the ultimate family day out when Jurassic Quest, North America’s most realistic dinosaur experience, joins forces with Brick Fest Live, an interactive family LEGO-inspired event, for an affordable day of interactive fun and STEAM learning at the Cajundome from July 25-27.
Come face-to-face with over 165 million years of life-size animatronic dinosaurs, including the towering Apatosaurus, the mighty Spinosaurus, and the spine-chilling T-Rex! Meet fan-favorite baby dinos like the lovable Tyson the T-Rex, the playful Cammie the Camarasaurus, and the adorable Trixie the Triceratops; and then become a certified Junior Dino Trainer by helping train the one-and-only JoJo the Utahraptor during our live dino shows all day long! Plus, don’t miss our new and improved dinosaur rides, thrilling REAL fossil experience and giant fossil dig, Jurassic-themed inflatables, and the popular “Triceratots” soft play area for tiny explorers.
Get hands-on at Brick Fest Live, where families can go all-in on imagination with over 100 million bricks at stations and attractions designed to inspire creativity and play. Kids (and kids at heart!) get hands-on with different brick challenges, explore community collab builds and see incredible master creations from all over the world.
This three-day event provides an 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 hands-on activities, education and fun for kids of all ages:
● Lifelike, scientifically accurate dinosaur herd (some move and roar!)
● Live dinosaur shows all day
● The largest rideable dinosaurs in North America
● Interactive science and art activities including a giant fossil dig
● Real fossil exhibit featuring T-Rex teeth, a triceratops horn and a life-size dino skull
● “Tricera-tots” soft play area for our littlest explorers
● Bounce houses and inflatable attractions
● Photo opportunities, face painting, and more!
New attractions for 2025: For this migration, kids can face off with the notoriously fast Jurassic Quest Utahraptors for “Raptor Run” races, and “Rope-a-Raptor,” where experienced “BrontoBusters” help kids lasso stray dinos to lead them back to their pens.
Other Highlights: Catch the one-of-a-kind interactive Raptor Training Experience regularly throughout the day, and meet and pet the sweet interactive baby dinosaurs, hatched only at Jurassic Quest: Cammie the Camarasaurus, Tyson the T-Rex and Trixie the Triceratops. Take your family on “The Quest,” a self-guided scavenger hunt-style activity where budding paleontologists can become Jr. Dinosaur Trainers, and learn all about the dinosaurs and time periods with the help of a fun and fact-filled video tour featuring our star dino trainers: Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Prehistoric Nick and Park Ranger Marty (available onsite and on your phone via QR code).
The Jurassic Quest Herd: Jurassic Quest 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.
