A Dino-mite Jurassic Quest Drive Thru

Jurassic Quest Drive Thru


When we found out the Jurassic Quest Drive Thru was in Pittsburgh, we knew we had to go! Our 2 year old, Coen, LOVES dinosaurs, and we had a feeling our older kids would enjoy it, too. So last Thursday, we piled into our SUV, and made the 45 minute drive to the Jurassic Quest location.

Jurassic Quest has over 100 animatronic, life size dinosaurs to experience. They do have an indoor event, where you can get up close and personal with the dinosaurs, which I know my kids would have loved. This time, however, it was a drive thru. 

Although I think the indoor event would have been a bit more interactive, the drive thru was still a fun experience. We drove through the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic periods, learning about each dinosaur or prehistoric creature along the way via the digital audio tour. Coen was mesmerized by all the 'saurs that he loves so much, and Liam was grinning the entire time. It was definitely a fun adventure my family will always remember!

Our kids counted down the days, then the hours, until it was time to go! Our car was filled with kids - and excitement - as we drove to the event. We kept telling our two youngest that we were going to see dinosaurs, but I don't think they even knew what to expect!

When we bought our ticket, we picked a time slot, so the drive thru wasn't too crowded. After we passed through the gates, we let the kids take off their seat belts, and we got Liam and Coen out of their car seats so they could see better. Coen shouted "SAURS" as soon as he spotted the first dinosaur in the distance!

We were able to drive slowly through the exhibit, so the kids could see dinosaurs of every size up close. Of course, they loved the massive, animatronic dinosaurs the most, and they loved how they made sounds. The little details on each dinosaur/prehistoric creature were amazing! Even as adults, we thought the Jurassic Quest Drive Thru was really cool, and our teenagers agreed, but we especially loved seeing the wonder in our younger kids' eyes!

The Jurassic Quest Drive Thru was definitely worth it! It was a fun adventure for our family, and dinosaur-loving Coen is still talking about it over a week later. That, alone, is worth every penny it cost! One adventure down, so many more to go...
