Jurassic Quest Indoor Experience at Ohio Expo Center

ARE. YOU. READY?? The dinosaurs are coming back to town when Jurassic Quest indoor experience comes to Ohio Expo Center with the nation’s largest touring dinosaur exhibit for a fun family outing! 

More than 100 realistic dinosaurs are back from extinction to invade Columbus from March 28-30, 2025, including T. Rex, Spinosaurus and Triceratops.

It’s a great way to get out of the house this winter! Read below for schedule, ticket details, and more.

Guests walk through the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic Periods and experience for themselves what it was like to be among dinosaurs of all kinds. The interactive dinosaur event features true to life-size animatronic dinosaurs of all sizes in each indoor show.

In collaboration with leading paleontologists, the dinosaurs are replicated in each detail to represent their prehistoric counterpart to help bring these dinosaurs to life. 

Jurassic Quest exhibits also allow future paleontologists to dig up fossils, ride their favorite life-sized dinosaur, enjoy walking dinosaur and baby dinosaur shows, and enjoy a dinosaur themed play land in addition to face painting, crafts and much more.

Special activities may have additional charges on the day of your visit.
