Jurassic Quest Dinosaur Exhibit Roars Into Nassau Coliseum

UNIONDALE, NY — Dinosaurs will be roaring into Nassau Coliseum this weekend, and there's still time for you to get tickets to this prehistoric show.

Jurassic Quest, an exhibit of models of realistic dinosaurs, is returning to Long Island and coming to Nassau Coliseum from Feb. 19-21. Attractions include lifelike dinosaurs, dinosaur-themed rides and attractions, live shows, interactive science and art activities, photo opportunities and more.

Walk through the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods to see the dinos that ruled on land, and “deep dive” into the “Ancient Oceans” exhibit to come face to face with the largest apex predator that ever existed — a moving, life-size, 50-foot-long megalodon! Meet the babies, hatched only at Jurassic Quest: Cammie the camarasaurus, Tyson the T-rex and Trixie the triceratops.

The Jurassic Quest herd of animatronic dinos — from the largest predators to playful baby dinos — are displayed in realistic scenes with some that move and roar, allowing guests to experience them as they were when they roamed the earth millions of years ago. 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 and ancient giants of the sea looked and moved.

General admission tickets are $26 and are available atthe Jurassic Quest website or at the venue, and include a 100 percent ticket guarantee that in the event of a show cancellation or postponement for any reason, ticket purchases will be automatically refunded for the full amount. Tickets are for a timed arrival window, and advance ticket purchase is strongly encouraged. Guests can walk through the dinosaur experience at their own pace, and strollers are permitted.

General admission tickets include access to the dinosaur and marine exhibits, arts and crafts activities and dinosaur shows. There are rides and activities that require activity tickets, or guests can upgrade to the Kids Unlimited Rides ticket. Souvenir photography and animal art tattoos are available at a separate cost. Attractions are subject to change based on local government COVID protocols. Entry is free for children under age 2.
