  • Kids Unlimited Admission (ages 2-10)

There is plenty of room to bring your stroller.  This is a stroller and baby-wearing-friendly activity.

Snacks and Beverages

While they do not allow outside food and drinks most of these events have a small concession with a few tables to sit at while eating.

Concessions typically include snack food like popcorn, water, and soda. Vary on location.

Souvenirs

Inside Jurrasic Quest is a souvenir/gift shop.  You can purchase balloons, t-shirts, and other Dinosaur themed goodies.

Recommended Ages

If you have a dinosaur lover they will likely love this at any age.  I do think kids ages 6 and under will have the best time whether they are dinosaur fans or not.

My 8-year-old has always loved dinosaurs so he had a great time but this may be the age cap I would recommend for this event.

Our Experience

My kids loved this event.  They are big dinosaur fans so that definitely added to their excitement.  We stayed for about 2 hours.  I would plan on 2-3 hours if you go depending on how busy it is.

The velociraptor training was my kid’s favorite part at Jurassic Quest. They loved the educational part of the interactive aspect of it.

Jurassic Quest Fun

Jurassic Quest is an activity worth attending at least 1 time.  Especially if your kids are dinosaur fans.  Have you been or are you heading to it this year? Let us know in the comments!

  1. DO NOT GO. This is likely a scam. Blog posts saying it is good and reviews are most likely planted based on our experience at the Jurassic Quest in Vegas. We spent over $200 on an experience that was worse than an indoor jump house. Our Unlimited tickets gave us no additional benefits, and we spent over half an hour in a line to jump for 3 minutes in a jumper we could have rented for our own backyard.

    1. Hi Jennifer –

      Thank you so much for your feedback. This article is definitely not a scam and while we don’t think this attraction is for every family, our family did enjoy it. The unlimited tickets give you access to all bounce houses, rides, etc. Either way, we are sorry you didn’t have a good experience. This review was written with all of our own opinions and will be updated as such each year to reflect any changes.

  2. We went march 2023. I cannot recommend this for families. 30 minute wait times for all bounce houses, over hour and a half wait to sit on a dinosaur. We saw no shows or dinosaurs walking around .. just a sea of people. There were just a handful of chairs set up which were all occupied and a pretty small eating area. My girls and I ended up sitting on the ground to take a break after standing in lines.
    Multiple parents I spoke to all agreed that they regretted spending the $100+ to bring their family.
    this could have been a really fun event but simply WAY too many people for what was available to do. It should have been triple in size or 1/3 of the people allowed in. Really disappointed. We left after 2 hours and 3 whole activities

    1. Wow! Thank you for your feedback, Amanda. It sounds like experiences there are very inconsistent – some good and some bad. We will definitely keep that in mind as we update our review each year. All opinions are our own and of course can change at any time!

  3. just attended Charlotte, NC show 4/30/23, Not much i can said about the event except it was a scam and do not go until they make it 150 times better!! Took my three year old grandson who loves dinosaurs and can name most, his ticket was $32 to have unlimited rides and use the bounce houses…$32 for a three year old… to sit on a dinosaur for 20 secs (stood in line for 1 1/2 hours for that), I must of been crazy.. Oh yeah he was allowed to use the bounce houses too… he played on one that took about hour to get into it and lasted about two minutes…didn’t go on another one. So for two adults and one child it cost me almost $90 dollars!!!! Did I mention it was $22 for adults to do nothing but try and entertain the kids while standing in those long lines… The only good thing i can say is the figurines of dinosaurs and baby dino…other than that it was a waste of money… I should of went to the trampoline park, less money and everyone would of had a excellent time… So if Jurassic Quest wants to make things better on my end, they can refund have of my money back…. I’ll be waiting for my check.

    1. Ugh, sounds like a horrible experience, Bill! I am so sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations – it seems it fell short for so many families this year. Definitely will keep that in mind if we attend again in the future. I hope they make changes!
