Jurassic Adventures

Posted on March 9, 2019 by Daniel & April

Underwhelmed would be an understatement…

We were provided tickets through our homeschool program, thankfully. I would have been even more disappointed if I had used my hard earned cash to pay for my family of six.

It would have cost us $180+ tax to attend their event. Not to mention half of things inside required you to by additional tickets to participate.

The first half with the animatronic dinosaur set up was neat, but they were not well maintained and the displays were dull.

The speakers that were playing the dinosaur sounds were awful quality. It seemed like the speakers were blown.

There was a small Dino Dig area that the younger kids really enjoyed. It was a sandbox with dinosaur bones underneath.

Opposite side of the Dino Dig was three bounce houses that were not anything spectacular.

The second half of the dinosaur arena was where the “rides” were. From their website they made their rides sound cooler than what was actually there. The rides require you to buy tickets which were $20 for 6 tickets and each ride was two tickets.

When the site says you can ride dinosaurs and it shows a picture but not quite a whole picture. These rides don’t actually go anywhere in fact it moves about as much as those “rides” you see in front of grocery stores.

The disappointment on just about every parents face was pretty obvious.

We were expecting something exciting that we’d want to spend all day at. Instead we barely stayed an hour.

If you like throwing away money for a mediocre memory then I’d suggest this event. If you care how you use your hard earned money then I suggest looking elsewhere for a fun educational event.
