Drive-thru dinosaur experience coming to Orlando

Event runs Jan. 29-Feb. 7

Dinosaur lovers are in for a treat this month.

Jurassic Quest is bringing life-size animatronic dinosaurs to Orlando with its drive-thru experience.

From Jan. 29 to Feb. 7, guests will get to see more than 70 life-like dinosaurs from the comfort of their vehicles while listening to a digital audio tour.

While staff will have limited contact with guests, all will be wearing masks, practicing social distancing and follow state and local coronavirus pandemic guidelines.

“Safari Sarah” is a “dinosaur trainer” at Jurassic Quest and explained the exhibit can take about 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on traffic flow.

“First off everything will be in your car, so it will be completely contactless. You will not be exiting your car at any point unless you need to use the bathroom, in which case we have hand sanitizer stations and bathrooms that are clean,” she said.

She said there will be some extra features for guests to enjoy as they pass through the various scenes.

“We have things like Dino 411 where you can actually text our dinosaur service and ask park ranger Marty, ‘Hey what kind of dinosaur is this?’ or ‘What was the biggest dinosaur that ever existed?’ and they’ll actually answer you in real time,” she said.

There are a few rules each car has to follow like keeping doors closed and staying in your vehicle, not driving more than 5 mph, no touching the dinosaurs and no smoking, to name a few.

All guests leave with a fun experience as well as a free, safari-style family photo from their vehicles with a dinosaur backdrop, its website said.

All tickets must be purchased online at jurassicquest.com.
