Country's Largest Dinosaur Drive-Thru Experience Coming To Charlotte

Have you ever watched Jurassic Park and thought, "I really wish I could go to a place like that"? An opportunity to see lifelike versions of your favorite prehistoric beasts — yes please! Your chance to live out a childhood dream is coming to the Charlotte area in February with Jurassic Quest, North America's largest drive-thru dinosaur experience.

The Jurassic Quest Drive Thru traveling exhibit has made its way across the country and is now set to make an appearance at Charlotte Motor Speedway's zMAX Dragway February 12-21.

At Jurassic Quest, visitors will see more than 70 photorealistic, animatronic dinosaurs, including the T. Rex, Triceratops, and even a 50-foot-long Megalodon. The dinos will be displayed in realistic scenes, where guests will hear them roar and see how they move, to give them a sense of what life may have been like millions of years ago.

But don't worry — these massive creatures aren't real and you won't end up running from a T-rex. No scares, just fun!

All attendees will get a commemorative safari-style photo inside their vehicles to remember how they survived Jurassic Quest.

Tickets start at $49 per vehicle, and guests must stay inside the vehicle while driving through the display. Motorcycles are not permitted, and visitors cannot ride in the bed of a truck.
