Weekend Planner: Dinosaurs, Monster Jam, and ice sculptures
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - It's Friday and that once again means we're looking ahead to the weekend!
We know that many people already have Sunday night figured out with Super Bowl LVIII airing here on KDKA-TV, but there's still plenty of fun to be had before kickoff!
Jurassic Quest
Dinosaurs are taking over downtown this weekend at Jurassic Quest at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
You and your family will be able to experience 165 million years of dinosaur history.
You'll also be able to walk among life-sized dinosaurs, dig for fossils, and even ride on the back of a dinosaur!
It's going on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
You can get tickets at this link.
Monster Jam
If dinosaurs aren't your thing, how about getting revved up with some big trucks?
Monster Jam is back this weekend at PPG Paints Arena.
More than 100 truckloads of dirty will be dumped onto the arena floor and built out into colossal obstacles and a racing track.
There will also be 12,000-pound monster trucks there to tear up the course in competitions of speed and skill.
The show begins tonight and roars through Sunday afternoon.
Tickets can be purchased on the Monster Jam website right here.
I Made It Sweet Market
You can find one-of-a-kind Valentine's Day gifts at the I Made It Sweet Market.
The pop-up craft market is happening Saturday from noon until 5 p.m. at Rockwell Park in Pittsburgh's East End.
