Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru Experience. Do you want to see over 80 true-to-life dinosaurs? Drive through Jurassic Quest for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see them up close and personal. All this from the comfort of your car and not having to worry about being eaten.
Jurassic Quest is coming to Glendale from August 27 – Sept 5, you can buy your tickets here.
We toured the Jurassic Park experience in Tucson earlier this year. Once you have arrived at the destination, your kids can move around in the car. We had the most fun looking out the moonroof, especially at some of the taller dinos because it really felt like you were up close and personal!
My son loved “driving” through them all. My daughter was skeptical and stayed in her seat with the window up for a while, eventually moving upfront and then to look out the moonroof.
It was nice out when we went, however, it might not be a bad idea to grab some cold drinks and your fav seat cooler to keep with you in our Arizona heat if you want the windows down.
Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru Experience
Here are some of the fun dinosaurs we saw in Tucson in 2021.
Audio Tour
When we arrived we were handed this card to scan and listen to the audio tour as you drive along. I wish I had known this ahead of time because getting it timed up while kids are moving around the car to get a better view, trying to get pictures, and getting this to stream in my new car was not possible. So check the audio tour here, and plan ahead.
There are signs for when to pause and hit play again to keep you on track. This is probably more important with older kids who are into learning more details about each species. Every car is different and in mine, I can’t play this on Bluetooth while making videos. If I had known ahead of time, I would have had the driver who wasn’t taking pictures stream it from their phone. With all the new fancy things cars can do, look into how to stream ahead of time.
Merch
As the drive comes to an end, you will be driven through a merchandise booth, so it is not avoidable. Explorer Pack starts at $15 and the full trainer pack is $50. Honestly, not worth it in my opinion. I purchased a pack of dinosaurs on Amazon and brought them along for the kids to find the matching dinosaurs.
