Drive-thru Jurassic Quest at the State Fairgrounds
INDIANAPOLIS – Enjoy a social-distanced Jurassic Quest drive-thru April 30 through May 9 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, 1200 W. 38th St. A herd of animatronic dinos – from the largest predators to the smallest babies – are displayed in realistic scenes that allow guests to experience them roaring and moving as they drive through the tour. In collaboration with leading paleontologists, each dinosaur is replicated in detail, from tooth size to textured skin. An audio tour comes standard with every $49 vehicle purchase (limited to eight people per vehicle) as well as a safari-style digital souvenir photo of your vehicle and family transported back in time via a Jurassic setting.
