Brought my 7 year old grandson in West Palm Beach today, but this unfortunately was better for toddlers. Should have listed age specifics. The displays look nothing like the images and weren’t very convincing. The game/ride area was the big let down. Nothing much for a 7 year old that we paid a premium for a special ticket that gave him access to nothing of much interest beyond toddlers. Over priced and disappointing.

Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing, especially considering the price. We paid approximately $150 for 1 adult and two children, and it simply wasn’t worth it. The biggest issue was the organization. We waited about an hour just to get inside, and once we entered, it was extremely overcrowded. It felt like far more tickets had been sold than the venue could comfortably accommodate. With young children, the experience became stressful rather than enjoyable. The barriers around the dinosaur displays were unstable and constantly attracted children who wanted to climb on them, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the exhibit. The dinosaurs themselves were nice (some of them had broken parts), but the overcrowding and long wait overshadowed the entire experience. Better crowd management and timed entry would have made a huge difference. We would also have loved to be told in advance that our children needed SOCKS to play in the inflatable games. It’s summer time and they both had sandals… To be refused the entrance was disappointing for both of them. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend it at this price.

It was terrible. Most of the animatronics were not working. Most of the dinosaurs were ripped/torn and faded. The rides were sad. Most kids under 5 won't know the difference but parents will definitely feel ripped off. All the stations were old and faded or unclean. The store had over priced Temu items. It was just old dirty and torn half working foam dinosaurs. For the price you would think they would fix or repaint some things. The raptor training costume looked like the raptor had a kink in his neck. Just pathetic.

This was complete CHAOS. The space was way too small to hold all the amount of people that were there. The animals looked worn and unkept. Everything was just mashed together. Could tell which line was which. Very unorganized. The thought was great but the execution was HORRID.

I took my 9 yo son to the Dallas show today as a long awaited Christmas present. We had gone around 3-4 years ago, and he LOVED it. Sadly, today’s experience wasn’t even close. It felt like it was all about how much more they could get you to spend today. First, the entire experience has been cut in half. What was once spread out over two large buildings on the fairgrounds, has been condensed into one building with lots of extra space. They no longer have the large archway with the logo to take picture with at the intro. The building full of displays of dinos with informational placards has been condensed to about 6 small displays with multiple broken animatronic dinosaurs. Several had bent or broken limbs while others looked like they weren’t even put together correctly. The fossil cleaning area had 3 large boxes with plenty of brushes. I used a large brush to cover everything back up so my son could clean them, but he had a whole box to himself. No crowds here. But also no workers to keep the area clean. There was a cool excavation craft available, but there was about a 15-20 minute line. The line was shorter when we were about to leave, but it required you to leave it to dry so we bypassed that craft. The photo op area was limited to a dine with an open mouth to pose in and two eggs. This pretty much concluded what was available for mine and my husband’s basic ticket for $22 each. Then came the ride and bounce house area we paid extra for. This used to be an entire separate building full of activities. They have 2 kid jeeps to drive in a circle. (Previously they had 5 or 6 going at once to move the line along quicker.) There were 3 Dino’s you would ride that walked about 8-10 feet forward and then backwards to the start. They had 3 stand alone dinosaurs to climb up and ride. I noticed the length of the ride changed when the workers switched. These lines were super long. (This used to be two walls full with at least 10 dinosaurs available. While the rides would get lines, the amount available greatly decreased the line time.) My son only rode one because we stood in line for around 45 minutes for that one. They had a bounce house slide, and two other bounce house stations. IMO this is a huge portion of the rides and these opportunities are everywhere. I don’t pay to go to a big event to have them provide mostly bounce houses. I could do those at a party. 3-4 years ago, I’d have given Jurassic Quest 5 stars, hands down. This year I give them 2, those two came from the fact that every person we came in contact with was super friendly and kind to my kid. The other was from the LEGO display. You could grab a Lego base and add the 4x4 colored flats to create your portion of a huge piece they were doing throughout the day. My son’s favorite part was the Lego area. He loved following the key and counting out the pieces. He added about 8 sections to the final product. Extras- face painting had a super long line and was $15 extra per kid for about a quarter of their face. Green screen photos had a line and had three options at $20 each for a 4x6 printout. (Not even a paper frame) Because of the continued high price, but the severe lack of options and displays, I would not spend money to bring my kid again. I’m glad we were able to visit back when it was big and worth the price.

The ticket price should have included the interactions and rides on the dinosaurs. The price for the arm band was to expensive for what my Grandson experienced. The only interaction with the dinosaurs that he liked was the one where the dinasour actually moved. I would not take him there again!!
