Ever wish Jurassic Park was somehow real life? Well, now might be your chance to walk with the dinosaurs, as the 'largest and most realistic dinosaur exhibit in North America,' Jurassic Quest, has roared into Tampa for the remainder of July — and it's coming to more Sunshine State cities throughout the year.

According to their website, Jurassic Quest will feature life-size, true-to-detail dinosaurs, including a 60-foot-long, sky-scraping Spinosaurus, an 80-foot-long Apatosaurus, and a giant T-Rex, among other life-like dinosaur replicas scattered throughout the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.

Massive, life-like dinosaur replicas aren't all you'll see at Jurassic Quest though, there are plenty of other experiences to be had including a one-of-a-kind interactive baby dinosaur show, a raptor training experience, the largest walking dinosaur rides in North America, a dino bounce house, bungee pull, fossil digging and viewing experiences, a soft play space for the littles, and so much more.

There will be plenty of photo ops too as you take on The Quest at Jurassic Quest, an interactive challenge that will lead adventurers through 10 clues to activities they must complete to earn a reward.

According to a Facebook post from Jurassic Quest, the event was set to only run a week; however, popular demand has pushed it now to stretch for nearly two weeks from July 21 through July 30, 2023.

Tickets range in price from $22 for general admission to upwards of $36 for an Unlimited Kids Admission Ticket — granting unfettered access to rideable and inflatable attractions during your visit. If you happen to be a senior you can save a couple of bucks by paying only $19 for admission instead.

Those who don't think they'll make it to the Tampa iteration have other showings of Jurassic Quest they can attend, as it will make a return to Florida in Daytona Beach in August, as well as make stops in West Palm Beach in September and Orlando in October.
