On August 16th – 18th, Jurassic Quest roared through Mississippi Coast Convention Center in Biloxi, Mississippi where dinosaurs were on display for fans of all ages. Convenient and affordable event parking was available on site, and the ticket lines moved quickly. Friendly and knowledgeable staff members greeted attendees, answered questions and provided assistance to ensure that everyone had a memorable experience.
The entry gate set the tone for the immersive experience. Attendees stepped through the Convention Center and into Jurassic Quest, surrounded by realistic dinosaur exhibits with lights and sound.
An array of larger-than-life dinosaur attractions greeted eager fans. Squeals of delight and awe filled the air as families made their way through the entryway. Displays with bubble wands and other souvenirs lit the dark spaces.
The Fossil Experience brought Jurassic Quest to the next level as attendees were allowed to interact with fossil replicas including claws and teeth of a massive Tyrannosaurus-Rex. Then moving into the Fossil Dig area to experience first-hand the excitement of finding fossils.
Memories were made by riding dinosaurs, roping raptors, creating crafts and excavating fossils. There were activates and experiences for attendees of all ages. The Bounce House area allowed an opportunity for free play and seating was available.
Unique photo opportunities were provided throughout the exhibit. Face painting and green-screen photography packages were available for an addition fee, not including with entry tickets and wristbands. Concessions and souvenirs were available for an additional cost.
Plan to mark your calendars for next year. Jurassic Quest is definitely one event your family won’t want to miss.
