Your little paleontologists will also be able to see the Utahraptor and Giganotosaurus this year. Children can participate in a scavenger hunt called “The Quest” and enjoy a video tour, KSAT reported.

Jurassic Quest also said they work with paleontologists to make sure their animatronics look realistic, so you can feel as if you’ve really gone back in time.

They pay attention to the teeth, the skin of the dinosaurs, and their feathers.
