Dinosaurs Come To Westchester In Enthralling Jurassic Quest Exhibition

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, NY — After an absence of hundreds of millions of years, dinosaurs are returning to the Hudson Valley and we couldn't be more delighted.

Jurassic Quest, North America's "largest and most realistic traveling dinosaur experience" is roaring into the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights for the first time ever, from June 28 until July 7.

The company behind Jurassic Quest says that they developed the exhibit with leading paleontologists, making sure that "each dinosaur is brought to life using realistic likenesses, movement and sound."

Organizers say that there will be life-size, "sky-scraping" dinosaurs, one-of-a-kind dinosaur rides, a life-size T. Rex skull, and fossils, including real T. Rex teeth and a Triceratops horn.

In addition, Jurassic Quest promises:

• true-to-detail (and size) dinosaurs, including a 60-foot-long, "sky-scraping" Spinosaurus, an 80-foot-long Apatosaurus, and a "gigantic," life-sized T. Rex
• an interactive Baby Dinosaur Show & Raptor Training Experience
• chances to "meet and greet" loveable baby dinosaurs like Tyson the T. Rex, Cammie the Camarasaurus, and Trixie the Triceratops , plus their "dino trainers"
• walking dinosaur rides & stationary dinosaur rides, including some of the largest rideable dinosaurs in North America
• dino bounce houses & bungee pull
• an interactive challenge, "Ready, Set, Quest," that leads adventurers through 10 clues within the experience to earn a reward
• fossil digs, Jurassic Jeeps, a crafts & coloring station, a fossil experience, "Tricera-tots" (a soft play space for the youngest dino fans)
