Jurassic Quest, America's largest dinosaur event, comes to the Philly area
OAKS, Pa. (CBS) -- Dinosaurs are invading the Delaware Valley. And the newly-arrived Jurassic Quest will take you a step back in time for a little prehistoric fun.
Jurassic Quest describes itself as the nation's largest dinosaur event in America, and It is being hosted at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks. It will be open at the expo center from Aug. 26, 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Aug. 27, 9 a.m.-7 p.m.
The event features life-like dinosaur animatronics and puppets, fossil excavations and plenty of unique photo opportunities. Some of the featured dinosaurs include baby dinosaurs, a sky-scraping Spinosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus rex.
We got a sneak peek Saturday morning and met Tyson the cuddly baby T-rex.
Workers at Jurassic Quest say it took 16 hours of preparation to launch this weekend's exhibit.
Tickets can be purchased online and range from $19 to $36 per person.
The dinosaur show beloved by everybody and their brother is returning to the City of Brotherly Love!
