ROAR! Jurassic Quest Returns to Nashville

Dino-loving families in the Music City area will soon get the chance to walk among the biggest herd of photorealistic dinosaurs when Jurassic Quest visits the Fairgrounds Nashville from Friday, April 18 through Sunday, April 20.

The interactive dinosaur event transports families through 165 million years of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to roam among true-to-life versions of the creatures that once ruled the Earth. From the largest predators to playful baby dinos, dinosaurs are grouped in realistic scenes with others in their eras, allowing guests to experience them as they were when they roamed Earth millions of years ago.
