Dinosaurs invading Roanoke in interactive ‘Jurassic Quest’ at Berglund Center

ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR)– Dinosaurs are ready to invade Roanoke with an interactive experience, ‘Jurassic Quest,’ coming to the Berglund Center from April 12 to 14.

In this experience, guests will be able to walk through 165 million years of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods to learn about the creatures that ruled the search. Along with life-like animatronic dinosaurs, Jurrasic Quest’s classic experiences include some of the largest rideable dinosaurs in North America, live dinosaur shows, interactive science activities like fossil digging, bounce houses and inflatable attractions, and so much more for the whole family to enjoy.

New to this year, Jurrasic Quest has expanded its hands-on activities, including a new Excavation Station and more Jurassic-themed rides and inflatables. Kids will now also be able to face off with the notoriously fast Jurassic Quest Utahraptors for ‘Raptor Run’ races and ‘Rope-a-Raptor,’ where they will be able to help lasso stray dinos to get them back into their pens.
