Dinosaurs are set to invade the Jacksonville area. For two weekends, the Jurassic Quest Drive Thru event will be next to TIAA Bank Field.
From January 15 to January 24, the touring dinosaur exhibit will transform the outdoor parking area of TIAA Bank Field into an interactive drive-through experience, including more than 70 moving and life-like dinosaurs, as well as a 50-foot-long Megalodon prehistoric shark replica.
The event has adapted to the pandemic era. In 2019, Jurassic Quest put on an indoor exhibit at Jacksonville’s Prime Osborn Convention Center. According to organizers, more than 1.5 million people have experienced the new drive-through version since the national tour launched in mid-July of 2020.
The Jurassic Quest Drive Thru includes an online audio tour that guests can listen to while driving through the dinosaur safari. The audio tour is available in both English and Spanish, and special accommodations can be made for the hearing impaired.Tickets are $49 per vehicle, with a maximum of eight people per vehicle.
Included with admission is a photo of each vehicle with a dinosaur backdrop.
Guests must remain in vehicles, except in certain areas, where they must wear masks. Jurassic Quest says it will be sanitizing equipment, dinosaurs, and workstations. And employees will be applying hand sanitizer and washing their hands regularly throughout each day, in addition to wearing masks.
